The settlement consists of two functionally linked tiers: Upper Kelath-Vareth, which receives shipments from [[Lepigisţil]] and other Vale’s Edge locations, and Lower Kelath-Vareth, which manages cargo transfer to river barges. The site serves as the key overland junction between elevated highland supply routes and the [[Sora Basin]] distribution system. | ||
|Geography=Upper Kelath-Vareth is built along the escarpment shelf at the top of Kelath Fall, incorporating reinforced terraces and anchored haul points. Its structures are carved directly into the edge of [[Vale's Edge]], a wide plateau descending eastward. Lower Kelath-Vareth occupies a flat stone shelf at the base of the waterfall, beside the river’s transition into the Telenkar Fold. Both levels are linked by a large stone-hauling system that allows cargo and personnel to move between elevations without reliance on Deep Road routes. | |Geography=Upper Kelath-Vareth is built along the escarpment shelf at the top of Kelath Fall, incorporating reinforced terraces and anchored haul points.

The difficulty of moving bulk goods down the escarpment and into the central Vale led to the development of a fixed stone transport system, initially operated manually, then reinforced with counterweights and carved rail mechanisms. Over time, storage vaults and dwellings were added to both levels, creating a permanent dual-tier settlement. | ||
|Economy=The settlement exists entirely to support material movement. It processes cargo from Vale’s Edge for eastward travel and receives inbound goods from river caravans. | |Economy=The settlement exists entirely to support material movement.

|Defense and Military=Though unfortified, both tiers of Kelath-Vareth are monitored by [[Stonewarden|Stonewardens]]. Upper ledges feature reinforced perimeter rails and signal posts, while Lower Kelath-Vareth maintains coordinated river watch. The site is not militarized but responds swiftly to logistical delays or attempted disruption. | |Defense and Military=Though unfortified, both tiers of Kelath-Vareth are monitored by [[Stonewarden|Stonewardens]].
