-|Domain and Manifestation=Tharoz-Mir inhabits the liminal space between locations—the spaces where stone is shaped not to settle, but to carry. Its presence is strongest in long-haul corridors, echoing caverns, and ritual gate-chambers where travelers pass without pause. It is not worshipped in a fixed location, but in motion.

-|Cultural Significance=Among the Minthari, Tharoz-Mir represents the soul of connection—between settlements, generations, and selves. Caravan leaders invoke its name before long routes. Tunnel-builders speak to it when they breach new thresholds.
-Though not a protective spirit in the traditional sense, it is considered a witness to every journey made underground.
 |Representation=Tharoz-Mir is rarely depicted as a figure. Instead, it is represented symbolically through spiral forms—interlocking stone rings or hollow-centered carvings found deep in the tunnel systems. Some shrines suggest a massive headless figure whose arms form a vaulted arch. Offerings are utilitarian: discarded tools, abandoned mining tokens, or engraved stones marked with the names of travelers who never returned.
 |Ritual Practices and [[Osia]]=Rituals honoring Tharoz-Mir emphasize stillness and listening. Practitioners may perform “echo drawing,” striking stone once with a tool and waiting in stillness for the echo to fade. Tools once used in mapping or crafting are left at key junctions as offerings. Osari attuned to tunnel resonance use specific forms of stone-bound osia to interpret vibrations and echo patterns—skills said to have been passed down through silent communion with Tharoz-Mir.
