Lun-Kadar

Type	Rest Station and Patrol Hub
Location	40 miles south of Tharn-Gate, eastern Sanctuary Vale
Realm	Terasil
Inhabitants	Duranthi
Controlled by	Council of Stone
Significance	Mid-route observation and recovery post along the northern overland passage into Sanctuary Vale

Lun-Kadar is a remote outpost located along the overland corridor between Tharn Gate and Varn-Telai. Positioned at the northern boundary of the Fractured Wedge, it functions as a recovery and staging site for patrol units, convoy crews, and engineering teams monitoring terrain shifts. Though not a full settlement, Lun-Kadar maintains a consistent garrison and relay capacity.

Geography

The station is situated on a flat stone shelf shielded partially by a natural ridge wall. The surrounding area is uneven and cracked, with wind exposure and visible fracture lines marking the southern ground. Facilities are low-built, reinforced, and anchored to underlying bedrock for structural stability.

History

Established following the eastern pass wall’s completion at Tharn-Gate, Lun-Kadar was developed to provide a midpoint waypoint for patrols. As overland traffic increased, the site was expanded with relay systems and observation tools to support route maintenance and safety tracking.

Functions and Features

Patrol Bunkers – Basic stone-lined shelters used by rotation teams for short-term rest.
Field Relay – A signal platform linking to Tharn-Gate and Tor-Kelai.
Storage Vaults – Contain dry rations, tool kits, and emergency response supplies.
Elevated Marker – Weather-resistant post equipped with environmental sensors and geologic trackers.

Defenses and Watch

Although not designed for direct defense, the outpost includes line-of-sight barriers and limited elevation points for monitoring. A continuous watch is maintained by stationed Stonewardens, and the structures are reinforced to serve as shelter during environmental instability.

Threats and Dangers

Hazards include high wind exposure, unstable ground near southern slopes, and visual disorientation during low visibility. Ground fissures may open or shift with little warning, requiring frequent re-mapping. Lun-Kadar remains part of the broader perimeter maintained by Mar-Thal but has reported no hostile contact.

-{{Outpost Sections
-|Introduction=Lun-Kadar is a field outpost located on the northern stretch of the overland corridor between [[Tharn-Gate]] and [[Varn-Telai]]. Positioned near the outer edge of the Fractured Wedge, the station provides rest and observation facilities for patrol teams, convoy units, and field engineers monitoring shifts in terrain stability. It is not a permanent settlement but maintains a fixed garrison presence and staging capability.
+{{Outposts in the Sanctuary Vale Sections
-|Geography=The outpost sits on a raised platform of flat stone partially sheltered by a recessed ridge. The surrounding terrain is uneven and fractured, with open exposures to prevailing winds and visible stress lines in the southern ground. Structures are low-built and reinforced, anchored to deep bedrock to reduce impact from surface tremors or erosion.
+|Introduction=Lun-Kadar is a remote outpost located along the overland corridor between [[Tharn Gate]] and [[Varn-Telai]]. Positioned at the northern boundary of the Fractured Wedge, it functions as a recovery and staging site for patrol units, convoy crews, and engineering teams monitoring terrain shifts. Though not a full settlement, Lun-Kadar maintains a consistent garrison and relay capacity.
-|History=Lun-Kadar was established after the formal completion of the northern pass wall at Tharn-Gate. Increased patrol range and route maintenance required a midpoint station for personnel recovery and resupply. It was expanded to include minor relay infrastructure and observation capacity as traffic volumes increased and surface risks were better understood.

-|Functions and Features=* Patrol Bunkers – Compact, stone-lined resting shelters with minimal amenities.

-* Field Relay – Signal array used to communicate status updates to Tharn-Gate and [[Tor-Kelai]].
+|Functions and Features=* Patrol Bunkers – Basic stone-lined shelters used by rotation teams for short-term rest.
-* Storage Vaults – Weather-sealed chambers containing basic provisions and emergency supplies.
+* Field Relay – A signal platform linking to Tharn-Gate and [[Tor-Kelai]].
-* Elevated Marker – A reinforced post with environmental instruments for temperature and ground shift tracking.
+* Storage Vaults – Contain dry rations, tool kits, and emergency response supplies.
-|Culture and Ritual=Interaction at Lun-Kadar is minimal and task-focused. Personnel rotate in shifts and follow a strict silence protocol during rest cycles. Field notes are logged at the end of each watch, and communication with passing groups is standardized through signal tags.
+* Elevated Marker – Weather-resistant post equipped with environmental sensors and geologic trackers.
-|Defenses and Watch=The outpost is not built for combat but includes observation tiers and physical barriers to discourage approach from non-cleared directions. Local Stonewardens maintain a watch position at all hours, and interior structures are constructed to withstand brief shelter-in-place situations during field disruption events.
+|Culture and Society=Operations at Lun-Kadar are utilitarian and regimented. Personnel observe quiet cycles during rest, with most interaction limited to task coordination. Daily reports are filed per shift, and passing convoys use standardized signal tags for identification and updates.
-|Threats and Dangers=Frequent risks include wind shear, unstable ground near southern slopes, and disorientation due to terrain uniformity during low light. Surface fissures occasionally widen, requiring route re-mapping. The site has not recorded conflict or incursion but is part of the wider defensive perimeter managed from [[Mar-Thal]].
