|Introduction=Mar-Thal is a fortified highland city located at the western terminus of the Khargaath Deep Road corridor. Originally established as a military command post, it has since expanded into a full civic center supporting regional logistics, deep corridor monitoring, and limited civilian infrastructure. The city is positioned along a high ridgeline overlooking the Fractured Wedge—a faulted geological zone marking the transition between the Khargaath slopes and the eastern fringes of [[Sanctuary Vale]].
|Introduction=Mar-Thal is a fortified highland city located at the eastern terminus of the Khargaath Deep Road corridor.

The city is positioned along a high ridgeline overlooking the Fractured Wedge—a faulted geological zone marking the transition between the Khargaath slopes and the eastern fringes of [[Sanctuary Vale]].
|Geography=The city occupies a series of stepped stone shelves carved into the upper Khargaath cliffs, with direct access to both surface roads and deep corridor entrances. The outermost walls follow the natural edge of the ridge, while internal structures are built into recessed platforms with limited exposure to wind or debris. The surrounding terrain is fractured and angular, with high-risk stone breaks and fault ridges forming a natural deterrent to unregulated passage.

|History=Mar-Thal was established during the Khargaath reinforcement campaigns as a forward command and staging area. Its position was chosen for visibility, elevation, and direct access to structurally stable deep corridors. Over time, expanded housing, supply depots, and communication towers allowed for civilian infrastructure. It remains under the [[Council of Stone]]'s direct oversight, with ongoing military coordination.

|Culture and Society=Mar-Thal maintains a structured, low-variance culture focused on function and order. Public speech is minimal and usually purpose-bound. Residents include engineers, logistics coordinators, and watch rotation crews. Civilian life is present but limited in scope. Recreational facilities are sparse and largely informal.

|Spiritual Significance=While some travelers conduct personal rites upon departure toward the Sanctuary Vale, the city itself holds no designated spiritual spaces. Observation posts and exits are not used ceremonially.

|Economy=The city’s economy is supported through coordination of cargo traffic, storage control, and surface-deep transfer of equipment and personnel. It does not host open markets. All trade is recorded through depot registers and processed through Council-regulated stations.
