|Introduction=Dul-Val is a fortified [[Orasian]] settlement located at the southern edge of Sanctuary Vale, where the [[Khargaath Range]] meets the [[Terraces of Mist]]. Known for its basalt quarries, resonance forges, and ritual gatekeeping, it serves as both the primary overland entry point into the vale and a sacred threshold space guarded by Stonewardens. | |Introduction=Dul-Val is a fortified [[Orasian]] settlement located at the southern edge of Sanctuary Vale, where the [[Khargaath Range]] meets the [[Terraces of Mist]].

|Geography=Dul-Val is situated where the Khargaath Range meets the Terraces of Mist, overseeing the upper reaches of the [[Tarsuun Pass]]. Built into terraced basalt cliffs, the settlement occupies a natural chokepoint at the southern entrance to Sanctuary Vale. The terrain is steep, with layered outcrops, narrow ledges, and deep-cut quarries opening into the surrounding stone. Mist from the southern highlands drifts into the settlement regularly, contributing to its cool, mineral-rich atmosphere. | |Geography=Dul-Val is situated where the Khargaath Range meets the Terraces of Mist, overseeing the upper reaches of the [[Tarsuun Pass]].

|History=Originally founded as a quarry outpost during the early restoration cycles after the [[Great Erosion]], Dul-Val became a permanent settlement when the Tarsuun Pass was formally designated a sacred and strategic boundary. Over time, the site expanded from a ring of stonecutters’ dwellings into a fortified settlement charged with both physical defense and ritual passage management. Its growth was tied closely to the emergence of the [[Stonewardens]] as a formal civic order. | |History=Originally founded as a quarry outpost during the early restoration cycles after the [[Great Erosion]], Dul-Val became a permanent settlement when the Tarsuun Pass was formally designated a sacred and strategic boundary.
