Tarn-Vareth
Type	Deep Road Settlement
Location	100 miles west of Djes-Val, Khargaath Range (Deep Road corridor)
Realm	Terasil

Significance	Primary midpoint settlement on the Deep Road between Djes-Val and Mar-Thal; supports logistics, repairs, and rest
Controlled by	Council of Stone

Tarn-Vareth is a deep corridor settlement located at the midpoint of the Deep Road between Djes-Val and Mar-Thal. Originally constructed as a temporary waystation, it has since developed into a small, permanent civic node used for caravan processing, resupply, road maintenance, and emergency shelter. While not large, it plays a critical role in stabilizing long-haul movement through the western Khargaath.

Geography

The settlement occupies a wide-cut junction chamber formed at the convergence of two stabilized tunnels. The terrain is dry and structurally sound, with minimal seismic disruption recorded. The walls are reinforced with iron-pinned stonework, and the ceiling is fitted with long-cut pressure vents and embedded lighting shafts. Surface-level fault lines are monitored but remain inactive.

History

Tarn-Vareth began as a rotating camp for engineers and supply crews during early excavation of the corridor. Increased traffic and logistical demands prompted the Council of Stone to authorize full settlement designation. The name was retained to preserve route continuity. Over time, basic civic structures were added, including dry vaults, a work hall, and scaled-down dwellings.
