Kel-Tarin is a small, fortified outpost in the Sanctuary Vale located along the Deep Road between Kar-Thal 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 Kar-Thal’s deeper monitoring system.
Defenses and Watch
Kel-Tarin is staffed by a team of Stonewardens trained in tunnel assessment and rapid response.
