Introduction
Tel-Tarin is a fortified above-ground outpost situated in the central heights of the Murzkar Mountains. Positioned at the midpoint of the Deep Road between Lavierin and Lepigisţil, it also marks the terminus of the high-altitude Skybroken Trail from Vaelthar. The hold serves as a customs checkpoint, supply depot, and neutral meeting point for overland travelers crossing from Vaelthar.
Geography
Built atop a stone shelf above deep chasms, Tel-Tarin is surrounded by sheer cliffs, unstable switchbacks, and mist-covered ridges. The Skybroken Trail reaches the hold via a sequence of weather-worn bridges and narrow paths.
History
Tel-Tarin originated as a Arânzeni deeproad way station and was later repurposed to a customs and border checkpoint following the opening of the Skybroken Trail. .
Defenses and Watch
As a primary checkpoint, Telenkar is well-defended and structurally compact. A permanent Stonewarden garrison is posted here.
