The Telenkar Fold is a broad, lightly sloped subregion in the eastern Sanctuary Vale, situated beyond the Dural Hills and northeast of Telenkar Hold. Characterized by rolling stone-backed hills, sparse savannah vegetation, and a large central river, the Fold remains largely uninhabited and is designated as a restricted ecological zone. Its terrain and wildlife patterns make it both strategically significant and environmentally sensitive.
Geography
Covering approximately 2,285 square miles, the Fold features a mixture of stony hills, scattered brushland, and long open stretches of dry grassland. A major river runs east to west through its center, carving a shallow basin and creating periodic wetlands during the brief rainy cycle. Tree growth is limited to sparse groves near mineral springs or ridge shelter. The land descends slowly toward the central basin of the Sanctuary Vale.
Cultural Significance
The Fold holds no permanent settlements and is not open to general travel without clearance. It is patrolled intermittently by Stonewarden teams from Mal-Kelai and observed via signal relay from ridge-based outposts. The Council of Stone has designated the Fold a protected zone due to its ecological role and potential for terrain destabilization during high migration periods. Some spiritual sects associate the Fold with ancestral movement, but no formal structures exist within its bounds.
Notable features
- Central River Basin – Primary water source; variable width and occasional shallow marshes
- Ridge Overlooks – High points used for signal and wildlife tracking
- Southward Descent – Gradual slope leading into the inner Vale's basin floor
