Minthazun

Type	Forging Center & Resource Processing
Location	Minthal Range, 25 miles north of Minthal
Realm	Terasil
Inhabitants	Minthari
Controlled by	Minthal Collective

Minthazun is a small but vital Minthari settlement situated at the junction of several ore-rich tunnels within the southern Minthal Range. Functioning as a part of the Minthal Collective, it specializes in primary processing of raw minerals extracted from the surrounding rock.

History

Minthazun was founded during the middle phase of the Minthal Expansion, once the southern tunnel systems had been stabilized and continuous ore flow was established.

-|Introduction=Minthazun is a small but vital Minthari settlement situated at the junction of several ore-rich tunnels within the southern [[Minthal Range]]. Functioning as an outpost of the Minthal Collective, it specializes in primary processing of raw minerals extracted from the surrounding rock. The settlement is known for its towering slag spires, geothermal smelters, and proximity to the Grand Tunnels, allowing for efficient transfer of refined materials southward to [[Minthal]].

-Despite its modest size, Minthazun plays a crucial role in the logistics of Minthari industry. Most of its infrastructure is utilitarian: stacked refinery levels, thermal exhaust chimneys, and reinforced transfer corridors carved directly into the stone.
-|History=Minthazun was founded during the middle phase of the Minthal Expansion, once the southern tunnel systems had been stabilized and continuous ore flow was established. Initially a mobile refining camp, it became permanent following the construction of deep-core smelters aligned with a geothermal vent. Since then, it has remained a quiet but essential link in the supply network feeding Minthal's foundries and forgemasters.
-|Culture and Society=The settlement is staffed by a rotation of metallurgists, ore appraisers, and haul teams, most of whom are directly appointed by or contracted through the Minthal Collective. While not known for spiritual or artistic life, Minthazun maintains a strong culture of mentorship among craftsmen.
-Apprentices seeking practical experience often serve cycles in Minthazun before returning to Minthal for formal recognition. Daily life is rhythmic and labor-focused, structured around melting cycles, material calibration, and transfer scheduling. Communication between shifts is handled primarily through tonal resonance logs embedded into corridor walls.
-|Economy=Minthazun’s economy is singularly focused on resource refinement. It processes a range of extracted materials—iron, copper, lesser silicates—into stable ingots or pre-forged blanks. Waste products are reused in ceramic binding or slagcrete molding.
-The settlement trades refined products directly with Minthal in exchange for food rations, tools, and spare geomantic regulators. Trade with surface or external groups is handled entirely through central authority and not initiated locally.
