Kel-Siruun is a tiered arc of scholar-vaults and stonecraft sanctums carved into the upper middle strata of Kar-Thal. Encircling the sacred Ashlar Vaults, the district functions as the city's primary archive and artisan enclave. Every wall, corridor, and column bears inscriptions—etched law-stones, genealogical scrolls, coded seals, and civic treatises dating back to the city’s founding. The district operates in contemplative stillness, its halls structured to maintain clarity of thought and reverence for carved memory.
Function
Kel-Siruun serves as the administrative, legal, and artisanal memory of Kar-Thal. The district houses the civic archives, guild chambers, and instructional sanctums for inscription, law-stone crafting, and ancestral recordwork. Only authorized initiates may access the inner archive vaults, each passage requiring encoded sign-authorization and seal-matching by touch and mark.
History
Kel-Siruun was established shortly after the formation of the Council of Stone, as a means of inscribing, preserving, and interpreting the foundational laws of Duranthi civilization. Stonecraft guilds emerged in parallel, their founders drawn from the earliest civic oath-keepers and mountain-etchers.
Notable Locations
- Ashlar Vaults – The central archive chambers, sealed by inscription-locks and accessed only by Lorewardens through encoded stone-paths.
- The Loen-Karith – A circular council hall used for silent witnessing of civic precedent and inscription ceremonies.
- Chisel Sanctum of the Vulek-Taruun – Headquarters of the guild responsible for crafting oath-altars, ritual spaces, and structural bindstones.
- Hall of Tarn-Ethuun – Workshop of the city's finest inscriptionists, specializing in archival carving and decree rendering.
- The Spiral Registry – A gradually descending gallery of etched genealogies marked by lineage-glyphs.
Cultural Practices
Stillness holds authority in Kel-Siruun. Residents and guildmembers use carved message slates for internal communication. Apprentices study extensively before carving a single mark, and all tools are housed in labeled vaults.
Artisans here are known not only for technical mastery, but for clarity of line and archival precision. Every etched mark is part of an unbroken tradition that defines Duranthi continuity.
