Originally founded as a quarry and guard outpost, Lepigisțil over time expanded from a ring of stonecutters’ dwellings into a fortified city.
Economy
Lepigisțil’s economy is centered on stonework and toolmaking.
Defense and Military
Lepigisțil houses one of the most active garrisons of Guzirias in the vale. The settlement is fortified along its outer terraces, and all entry from the Tulclurius Pass is closely monitored.
