Type	Deep Road Watchpost
Location	Așdilu Mountains, between Lavierin and Zarik-Val, 30 miles from Lavierin

Region	Sanctuary Vale
Subregion	Așdilu Mountains
Controlled by	Council of Lavierin
Significance	Monitoring station and checkpoint for Deep Road travel

Introduction

Eroșeni Station is a small, fortified outpost in the Sanctuary Vale located along the Deep Road between Lavierin and Zarik-Val. It functions as an early checkpoint and observation post, used to monitor tunnel stability and register travelers. Though modest in scale, it plays a vital role in maintaining safe and predictable passage.

Geography

The outpost is built into a natural widening of the Deep Road, where the stone becomes smoother and steady drafts rise from the lower tunnels. Its main chamber is oval-shaped, set with dry platforms, carved benches, and reinforced arches. A short side tunnel leads to a signal shaft that connects to Lavierin’s deeper monitoring system.

Defenses and Watch

Eroșeni Station is staffed by a team of Stonewardens trained in tunnel assessment and rapid response.

-|Geography=The outpost is built into a natural widening of the Deep Road, where the stone becomes smoother and the air carries steady drafts from the lower tunnels. Its main chamber is oval-shaped and set with dry platforms, carved benches, and reinforced arches. A short side tunnel leads to a signal bell shaft that connects to Kar-Thal’s deeper monitoring system.

-|History=Kel-Tarin was established during the first expansions of the Deep Road toward the Citadel Mountains. Originally just a mark-stone and resting slab, it was expanded into a full post after minor cave-ins and traveler losses in early cycles. Its name comes from the old Kar-Thali phrase for “held still in stone.”
+|Defenses and Watch=Eroșeni Station is staffed by a team of Stonewardens trained in tunnel assessment and rapid response.
-|Functions and Features=* Entry Mark Chamber – Visitors register their passage and direction in carved stone tablets.
+|Culture and Protocol=Travelers stopping at Eroșeni Station are expected to observe silence and press their mark-hand into the entry stone before resting. The station's keepers maintain a shelf of unclaimed travel stones left behind by those who never returned. These stones are periodically dusted and preserved as a memorial.
-* Watch Gallery – A narrow shelf used for visual inspection of the tunnel beyond.
-* Signal Shaft – A vertical shaft used to send bell tones or smoke markers to Kar-Thal in emergencies.
-* Rest Bay – A low, flat sleeping area with water basins and secure storage alcoves.
-|Culture and Ritual=Travelers stopping at Kel-Tarin are expected to observe silence upon entry and make a stone press with their mark-hand before resting. The outpost’s keepers maintain a small shelf of travel stones—left behind by past walkers who never returned. Once a cycle, the stones are turned and dusted, but never removed.
-|Defenses and Watch=Kel-Tarin is manned by a small team of Stonewardens trained in tunnel assessment and quiet enforcement. While it lacks major defenses, its placement allows for quick blockades and signal deployment if needed. The station’s walls are reinforced against shock and sound flare.
-|Threats and Dangers=The greatest risks are from shifting stone, gas seepage, or unseen tone instability from older tunnels nearby. Rarely, stonefolds may occur near the gallery, and unauthorized travelers are recorded and reported. No attacks have been recorded since the post’s founding, but guards remain present at all times.
