Introduction
Kharum-Zhal is a sealed and abandoned settlement located along the Deep Road between Kar-Thal and Telenkar Hold, approximately 80 miles from the eastern terminus. Once a functioning rest and trade station, it was lost to an unexplained tunnel collapse.
Geography
The ruin lies in a wide-cut chamber carved into red-veined basalt strata, with collapsed arches and fractured pylons leading into destabilized corridors. The surrounding tunnelwork is warped, partially fused, and in places appears melted. Access is blocked by reinforced seal-plates and a locked barrier gate.
History
Originally founded by the Duranthi as a mining town, Kharum-Zhal grew into the largest waystation between Kar-Thal and Telenkar Hold during the early Deep Road expansions. Its sudden collapse devastated the settlement. No official recovery efforts were ever undertaken.
Threats and Dangers
The region surrounding Kharum-Zhal is considered unstable.
