|Introduction=The Stonesteps are a sacred and perilous spiral stair carved along the inner face of a vast vertical chasm within [[~~Kar-Thal~~]]. Formed entirely from obsidian-glass, the structure descends deep into the city’s lower strata and is used exclusively for trials of endurance and initiation.

|Introduction=The Stonesteps are a sacred and perilous spiral stair carved along the inner face of a vast vertical chasm within [[Lavierin]]. Formed entirely from obsidian-glass, the structure descends deep into the city’s lower strata and is used exclusively for trials of endurance and initiation.

|Function=The Stonesteps serve as the official path of initiation for those seeking entry into the ranks of the [[Stonewarden|Stonewardens]]. The journey along the spiral is a test of balance, memory, silence, and resolve.

Each step is deliberately uneven and lightless, forcing initiates to maintain presence of mind and inward focus while exposed to vertiginous depth.

|History=Believed to have been carved by Namuril during the late [[Era of Isolation]], the Stonesteps were shaped by sustained heat-channeling and pressure-guided scoring techniques, likely guided by the earliest [[~~Duranthi~~]] stone-keepers.

|History=Believed to have been carved by Namuril during the late [[Era of Isolation]], the Stonesteps were shaped by sustained heat-channeling and pressure-guided scoring techniques, likely guided by the earliest [[Arânzeni]] stone-keepers.

|Cultural Practices=Initiates enter the Stonesteps alone and unarmed. They are forbidden from speaking or leaving marks during the trial itself. Descent and ascent must be completed in a single attempt.

Those who complete the Stonesteps wear a narrow obsidian band on their left arm—a symbol of endured silence and memory.
