Introduction

Sărăbian Gate is a fortified Arânzeni outpost in the Baviare Vale situated high in the eastern Mazissage Mountains. Built into a wind-carved ridge, it marks the last above-ground station before travelers descend into the Deep Road toward Seruric station and Lepigisţil. Known for its severe wind it serves as a watch-post and entrance to the Deep Road.

Geography

The outpost is perched along a saddle ridge between jagged basalt peaks, exposed to sharp alpine winds. From its upper tier, one can see the distant shimmer of Lavierin’s outer towers.

History

Established during the early days of Great Road expansion, Sărăbian Gate originally served as an outpost for surface patrols. Its role shifted over time into a logistical threshold for Deep Road entry. Named for an stonewarden who died sealing a breach in the eastern tunnels.

Defenses and Watch

Though not large, Sărăbian Gate is heavily fortified and constantly manned by stonewardens. Its wind-exposed location makes siege unlikely.

-|Introduction=Vul Thak’s Gate is a fortified [[Duranthi]] outpost in the Sanctuary Vale situated high in the eastern Murazkar Range. Built into a wind-carved ridge, it marks the last above-ground station before travelers descend into the Deep Road toward [[Telenkar Hold]] and [[Dul-Val]]. Known for its severe climate, silent customs, and threshold rites, it serves as both a watchpost and an atmospheric transition point for deepbound journeys.

-|Geography=The Outposts in the Murazkar Range is perched along a saddle ridge between jagged basalt peaks, exposed to sharp alpine winds and mist from the lower eastern crags. Its walls are carved directly into the rock, reinforced with sun-darkened ironstone and slate. A narrow stone stair called the “Spine of Entry” leads to a lower gallery that conceals the Deep Road entrance. From its upper tier, one can see the distant shimmer of Kar-Thal’s outer towers.
