| Aisembier (edit) | A bustling crossroad where multiple side-tunnels converge, Aisembier is the heartbeat of agriculture in the central range. It has deep-well grain silos, fungus preserves, and rest caverns. |
Known for its Thramak breeding stables and subterranean music festivals. |

| Avilîché (edit) | Avilîché is the northernmost settlement of the Oinien, a fortified underground outpost honeycombed into the towering slopes of Mount Dombortisé, the highest peak of the Orinilure Mountains. Positioned at a strategic vantage point, it grants Oinien an unparalleled view, through their use of foreign soldiers, of the surrounding regions, allowing them to monitor movements across the northern highlands, the Aráinia Mountains, and beyond. |
Avilîché is carved into Mount Dombortisé’s sheer rock face, with multiple layers of tunnels running deep into the mountain’s core. The altitude of Avilîché makes the surface world nearly uninhabitable, with freezing temperatures, strong winds, and unpredictable rockslides keeping all but the most resilient creatures away. |
Avilîché was established as the northern watchpost, originally serving as a small military outpost for early Oinien scouts. Over centuries, it expanded into a full-fledged subterranean fortress, vital for protecting the northern reaches of the Orinilure Mountains. The Oinien utilize a legion of foreign mercenaries here to be their eyes. |
Life in Avilîché is harsh and disciplined, as the settlement is a frontier stronghold rather than a traditional Oinien city. The Oinien who live here adapted to the extreme conditions of the northern mountains.

| Binilais (edit) | The last major settlement before reaching Avilîché, Binilais guards a network of mineral-rich faults. It doubles as a military outpost. |
|||||||||||
| Biulu (edit) | Biulu is a small but vital Oinien settlement situated at the junction of several ore-rich tunnels within the southern Orinilure Mountains. Functioning as a part of the Orinilure Collective, it specializes in primary processing of raw minerals extracted from the surrounding rock. |
Biulu was founded during the middle phase of the Orinilure Expansion, once the southern tunnel systems had been stabilized and continuous ore flow was established. |
||||||||||
| Lirandi (edit) | A small town nestled within a collapsed cavern system. |
Built around a natural chamber. |
||||||||||
| Lirépiel (edit) | Lirépiel is nestled deep within the Orinilure Mountains, and is a central hub for travelers, traders, and weary Oinien returning from long journeys. Lirépiel is a place of respite, known for its geothermal spas and natural hot springs. Steam rises from the deep fissures in the earth, filling the tunnels with a soothing warmth, and the town thrives on a booming hospitality industry, making it one of the most unique settlements in Oinien civilization. |
Lirépiel sits at the heart of the Orinilure Mountains, located within a natural volcanic rift that channels geothermal heat and mineral-rich waters through the cavern walls. The town is designed around these thermal features, with its tunnels and chambers shaped to maximize warmth and relaxation. Lirépiel’s central location makes it the perfect waypoint between the northern strongholds and southern settlements, allowing travelers to recover, resupply, and reconnect before continuing their journeys. |
Lirépiel was not always a leisure destination—it began as a simple crossroads settlement, built to serve merchants and tunnel travelers moving through the Orinilure Mountains. Over time, the discovery of geothermal springs transformed the town into a haven for relaxation and recovery. |
Lirépiel is one of the most open and welcoming Oinien settlements, shaped by its role as a crossroads town and relaxation hub. The town’s culture is centered on hospitality, comfort, and the appreciation of geothermal wonders. |

| Orinilure City (edit) | Minthal City is the capital of the Oinien civilization, a sprawling underground metropolis carved into the heart of the Minthal Mountains. Hidden deep within ancient stone, Minthal is a city of vast chambers, interconnected tunnels, and towering subterranean forges. As the political, economic, and spiritual center of the Oinien, it serves as both a fortress and a sanctuary, sheltering its inhabitants from the surface world while housing some of the finest metallurgical and engineering wonders in Adaris. |
Minthal City is a vast, multi-layered network of tunnels, chambers, and carved-out spaces, forming a labyrinthine metropolis deep within the Minthal Mountains. The Oinien have sculpted their home directly from the rock, shaping every passageway, cavern, and forge. Because Minthal is entirely underground, the city's layout is three-dimensional, with tunnels extending upward and downward in complex layers. |
Minthal Cities' origins date back to the earliest Oinien settlements. Over time, the city evolved from a series of primitive tunnels into a highly structured metropolis, shaped by centuries of excavation and refinement. Ancient Oinien first carved the city from existing natural caverns thought to be left behind by the Namuril, creating a sanctuary from surface dangers. During The Era of Expansion, massive tunnel networks were constructed, connecting Minthal to other settlements and forging routes for trade and mining. The discovery of geothermal energy and refined metallurgy allowed the Oinien to become one of the foremost underground civilizations in Adaris. |
Minthal City is divided into multiple districts, each serving a specialized function within the city. |
Minthal is a society built around mining and the acculmation of wealth. As a subterranean species, the Oinien have developed unique customs and a deep connection to their environment. Every Oinien contributes to the city's maintenance, with skilled artisans, miners, and engineers holding high social status. While Oinien prefer to remain underground, they maintain selective trade relations with surface dwellers. |
Minthal City thrives on mining, metallurgy, and subterranean resource management. The city exports high-quality iron, copper, silver, and rare minerals, sought after by weapon forgers and artisans across Adaris. Specialized mushroom farms, fungus-based livestock, and underground water filtration systems sustain the Oinien. |
