|Introduction='''Minthal''' is the capital of the Minthari civilization, a sprawling underground metropolis carved into the heart of the Anvil Range. Hidden deep within ancient stone, Minthal is a city of vast caverns, interconnected tunnels, and towering subterranean forges. As the political, economic, and spiritual center of the Minthari, it serves as both a fortress and a sanctuary, sheltering its inhabitants from the surface world while housing some of the finest metallurgical and engineering wonders in [[Adaris]]. | |Introduction='''Minthal''' is the capital of the Minthari civilization, a sprawling underground metropolis carved into the heart of the Anvil Range.

Because Minthal is entirely underground, the city's layout is three-dimensional, with tunnels extending upward and downward in complex layers. The Minthari navigate using vibration-sensitive organs, allowing them to move seamlessly through the twisting tunnels that would leave most outsiders lost. | Because Minthal is entirely underground, the city's layout is three-dimensional, with tunnels extending upward and downward in complex layers.
