|Geography=Upper Kelath-Tar is built along the escarpment shelf at the top of Kelath Fall, incorporating reinforced terraces and anchored haul points. Its structures are carved directly into the edge of [[Vale's Edge]], a wide plateau descending eastward. Lower Kelath-Tar occupies a flat stone shelf at the base of the waterfall, beside the river’s transition into the Telenkar Fold. Both levels are linked by a large stone-hauling system that allows cargo and personnel to move between elevations without reliance on Deep Road routes.

|History=Kelath-Tar was established during early trade expansion following the stabilization of [[Dul-Val]]. The difficulty of moving bulk goods down the escarpment and into the central Vale led to the development of a fixed stone transport system, initially operated manually, then reinforced with counterweights and carved rail mechanisms. Over time, storage vaults and dwellings were added to both levels, creating a permanent dual-tier settlement.

~~|Notable Locations=* Upper Kelath-Tar – Receives goods from Dul-Val; contains staging platforms, cargo hoists, and structural anchor points along the cliff edge.~~

|Economy=The settlement exists entirely to support material movement. It processes cargo from Vale’s Edge for eastward travel and receives inbound goods from river caravans.

* Lower Kelath-Tar – Handles river loading; includes flat docks, warehouse terraces, and repair yards for rivercraft.

|Defense and Military=Though unfortified, both tiers of Kelath-Tar are monitored by [[Stonewarden|Stonewardens]]. Upper ledges feature reinforced perimeter rails and signal posts, while Lower Kelath-Tar maintains coordinated river watch. The site is not militarized but responds swiftly to logistical delays or attempted disruption.

* Kelath Hauler – The stone-hauling lift and cablework system spanning the cliff face.

* Observation Ledge – A signal platform used for coordination between tiers and regional monitoring.

|Culture and Society=Life in Kelath-Tar is strictly work-oriented. Residents are primarily transporters, handlers, repair crews, and logistics recorders. Shifts are regulated by flow cycles, barge timing, and hoist intervals rather than ceremonial rhythms. Orasian overseers maintain record accuracy and coordinate with regional distribution planners. While some workers reside permanently in lower quarters, most rotate seasonally.

|Economy=The settlement exists entirely to support material movement. It processes cargo from Vale’s Edge for eastward travel and receives inbound goods from river caravans~~. Internal trade is minimal, limited to tool provisioning and short-term resource swaps. The surrounding terrain is not cultivated~~.

|Defense and Military=Though unfortified, both tiers of Kelath-Tar are monitored by [[Stonewarden]] ~~staff~~. Upper ledges feature reinforced perimeter rails and signal posts, while Lower Kelath-Tar maintains coordinated river watch. The site is not militarized but responds swiftly to logistical delays or attempted disruption.
