Introduction
Orundahl is the last major settlement before the Zanarak Desert, serving as a critical waypoint for travelers, merchants, and fortune-seekers. The town is home to a diverse population, with the Gilaari as the dominant group, alongside Galihi and outlanders.
Geography
Orundahl sits on rocky terrain just west of the Zanarak Desert. To its east, the landscape abruptly transitions into the endless dunes known as the Sea of Dunes, where only the most skilled navigators can survive.
The city is protected by high sandstone walls reinforced with desert glass, built to withstand both the elements and the dangers of the deep desert. A large network of tunnels and underground chambers exists beneath the town, rumored to have been carved by the Gilaari long ago.
History
The origins of Orundahl are uncertain, though legends speak of an ancient Gilaari settlement. Over time, it became a hub for desert traders, alchemists, and guides seeking to harness the secrets of Zanarak.
