|Introduction=Enen-Zhal is a compact, stone-built fort located near the edge of the Khargaath slopes, 20 miles from [[Djes-Val]]. It functions as a final checkpoint and rest station for travelers, traders, and initiates making the crossing through [[Sanctuary Vale]]. Though small, the outpost maintains an active watch and limited trade quarter, balancing pragmatic defense with reverence for the knowledge-bound community beyond. | |Introduction=Enen-Zhal is a compact, stone-built fort located near the edge of the Khargaath slopes, 20 miles from [[Djes-Val]].

|Geography=Set atop a low rise with wide visibility across the surrounding plain, Enen-Zhal is enclosed by high stone walls formed from layered local shale and iron-rich rock. A raised watch platform faces west toward the open path, while the eastern wall frames the descent toward Djes-Val’s misted ridges. The surrounding terrain is dry and windswept, with sparse fig growth and exposed fissures to the south. | |Geography=Set atop a low rise with wide visibility across the surrounding plain, Enen-Zhal is enclosed by high stone walls formed from layered local shale and iron-rich rock.

|History=Founded during the first stabilization of the Khargaath corridor, Enen-Zhal was originally a temporary watchpost that became permanent as passage through the Vale increased. Named for an old Orasian phrase meaning “last guarded threshold,” the fort has seen both moments of solemn peace and sudden tension—particularly during echo cycles and memory drift migrations. | |History=Founded during the first stabilization of the Khargaath corridor, Enen-Zhal was originally a temporary watchpost that became permanent as passage through the Vale increased.
