Introduction
Lepigisţil is a fortified Arânzeni settlement located at the southwestern edge of Sanctuary Vale, where the Khargaath Mountains meets the Murzkar Mountains. Known for its quarries and forgeworks, it serves as one of the main overland entry points into the vale.
Geography
Lepigisţil is situated where the Khargaath Mountains meets the Murzkar Mountains, overseeing the Tarsuun Pass. The settlement occupies a natural chokepoint at the western entrance to Sanctuary Vale. The terrain is steep, with layered outcrops, narrow ledges, and deep-cut quarries opening into the surrounding stone. Mist from the Murzkar Mountains drifts into the city regularly.
History
Originally founded as a quarry and guard outpost, Lepigisţil over time expanded from a ring of stonecutters’ dwellings into a fortified city.
Economy
Lepigisţil’s economy is centered on stonework and toolmaking.
Defense and Military
Lepigisţil houses one of the most active garrisons of Stonewardens in the vale. The settlement is fortified along its outer terraces, and all entry from the Tarsuun Pass is closely monitored.
