Tarn-Vareth

Type	Deep Road Settlement
Location	100 miles east of Djes-Val, Khargaath Range
Realm	Terasil
Region	Sanctuary Vale
Subregion	Khargaath Range
Inhabitants	Duranthi
Significance	Primary midpoint settlement on the Deep Road between Djes-Val and Mar-Thal; supports logistics, repairs, and rest
Controlled by	Council of Kar-Thal

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 settlement used for caravan processing, resupply, road maintenance, and shelter.

Geography

The settlement occupies a wide-cut junction chamber. The terrain is dry and structurally sound. The walls are reinforced with stonework, and the ceiling is fitted with pressure vents and lighting shafts.

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 Kar-Thal to allow for more permanent structures and settlement.

-|Introduction=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.

-|Notable Locations=<nowiki>*</nowiki> Work Hall – Central space for logistical coordination and convoy scheduling.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki> Dry Vaults – Storage for long-cycle rations, sealed tools, and backup structural supplies.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki> Dwell Blocks – Modular stone shelters for rest crews, temporary residents, and passing engineers.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki> Signal Column – A fixed platform used to relay traffic status between outer posts.
-|Culture and Society=Daily life in Tarn-Vareth is based on scheduling, maintenance, and rotation. The community operates on shifts, with most residents assigned to either convoy service, tunnel upkeep, or platform management. No formal rituals are practiced; internal time is regulated by standard Council of Stone cycle clocks.
-|Defense and Military=A low-rotation watch maintains entry control on both tunnel flanks. The settlement is equipped with structural fail-gates and reinforced seals in case of breach. Stonewardens rotate through in convoy intervals, and local overseers are trained in tunnel protocol.
-|Dangers and Threats=The corridor surrounding Tarn-Vareth remains largely stable, though stress fractures along the northwest conduit are under observation. Environmental risks include minor dust collapse, dry-air disorientation, and rare lighting failure. The site is not considered high-risk, but standard emergency drills are enforced.
