The last bastion of Terasil’s northern frontier, [[Men-Kal]] sits high in the Boundary Mountains where the land meets the dense, untamed expanse of the forest realm beyond. Men-Kal is a place of watchers, wardens, and sentinels.
Terasil’s northern frontier, [[Men-Kal]] sits high in the Boundary Mountains.
 
The settlement is built into the **rock face of a sheer cliff**, its structures reinforced against the relentless winds that howl through the pass. **Towering stone watchposts** line its western edge, their narrow slits eternally scanning the forests of [[Celyndor]]. Orasians in Men-Kal rarely lower their guard, for they believe the mountains protect them from more than just invaders—**they keep out things that should never set foot in Terasil.** 
 
Men-Kal is not a place for the faint-hearted. **Only the hardiest Orasians are sent here, bound by oath to hold the mountain and the pass against whatever may come.**
