It is the dwelling place of the stonecutters, tunnel shapers, and strata-cleavers whose labor forms the physical and civic foundation of the city. The district is known for its austere tone, unadorned architecture, and the lineage-bound miner clans who operate in multigenerational guilds of the [[Duranthi]] tradition. | ||
|Function=Tarsu-un serves as the logistical spine for raw material extraction and tunnel expansion. Its corridors lead outward into the functional arms of the [[Citadel Mountains]], providing direct access to basalt flows, mineral deposits, and untouched fault layers. The district houses tool-makers, chisel forgers, quarry scribes, and dust-weighers, all of whom are vital to the rhythm of Duranthi civic continuity. | |Function=Tarsu-un serves as the logistical spine for raw material extraction and tunnel expansion.
