|Geography=The settlement occupies a wide-cut junction chamber formed at the convergence of two stabilized tunnels. The terrain is dry and structurally sound, with minimal seismic disruption recorded. The walls are reinforced with iron-pinned stonework, and the ceiling is fitted with long-cut pressure vents and embedded lighting shafts. Surface-level fault lines are monitored but remain inactive. | |Geography=The settlement occupies a wide-cut junction chamber formed at the convergence of two stabilized tunnels.

|History=Tarn-Vareth began as a rotating camp for engineers and supply crews during early excavation of the corridor. Increased traffic and logistical demands prompted the Council of Stone to authorize full settlement designation. The name was retained to preserve route continuity. Over time, basic civic structures were added, including dry vaults, a work hall, and scaled-down dwellings. | |History=Tarn-Vareth began as a rotating camp for engineers and supply crews during early excavation of the corridor.

|Notable Locations= | |Notable Locations=* Work Hall – Central space for logistical coordination and convoy scheduling. | ||
* Dry Vaults – Storage for long-cycle rations, sealed tools, and backup structural supplies. | |||
* Dwell Blocks – Modular stone shelters for rest crews, temporary residents, and passing engineers. | |||
* Signal Column – A fixed platform used to relay traffic status between outer posts. | |||
|Culture and Society=Daily life in Tarn-Vareth is based on scheduling, maintenance, and rotation. The community operates on shifts, with most residents assigned to either convoy service, tunnel upkeep, or platform management. No formal rituals are practiced; internal time is regulated by standard Council of Stone cycle clocks. | |Culture and Society=Daily life in Tarn-Vareth is based on scheduling, maintenance, and rotation.

|Defense and Military=A low-rotation watch maintains entry control on both tunnel flanks. The settlement is equipped with structural fail-gates and reinforced seals in case of breach. Stonewardens rotate through in convoy intervals, and local overseers are trained in tunnel protocol. | |Defense and Military=A low-rotation watch maintains entry control on both tunnel flanks.
