A small Outpost, established on a strange island many weeks' travel from '''[[Bormar]]'''. Financed by Lord Voman Stoutheart, the objective of the Outpost was to, first and foremost, seek any clues as to the whereabouts of the legendary [[Chapter One|'''All-Gem''']], which was supposedly hidden on the archipelago.
Zietal Mar was established within the rough middle of the forest area of the island, in the shadow of Greencrown Peak, the tallest mountain on the island.
== Appearance ==
In its earliest iteration, Zietal Mar was little more than a handful of tents with some campfires dotted around. As more '''[[Dwarves]]''' arrived, it quickly turned into a well-built and relatively organized settlement. Wood from the nearby forest and stone from the Greencrown Peak were the predominant building materials of the workshops and houses.
Later on, the Outpost would come to be surrounded by a large stone wall designed by a local smith, [[Tobias Aetos|'''Tobias Aetos''']]. An "Upper Holding" would later be established, with its houses dug straight into the side of Greencrown Peak.

=== Kadol Ubbul's Overseership ===
Having taken leadership at the very beginning of the Outpost's founding, there was not much Kadol was able to concretely establish in law or deed. He aided the local smiths in setting up a Guild and began discussions with [[Khestor
==== The Lower Chamber under Overseer Ubbul ====

=== Ogrona Frontik's Overseership ===
Overseer Frontik took the reins of outpost leadership straight after Kadol’s resignation, having put herself forward for the purpose in an Outpost meeting. From the beginning, it was agreed that this was only a temporary government in place only until an election could be organized.
While there was some debate over Ogrona’s intentions, a new election was indeed held several weeks later, with the only candidates being Ogrona Frontik and Khestor

=== Khestor

Khestor's reign was kicked off with a slew of changes as promised by his campaign of "Strength, Stability and Security." First, he abolished the Lower Chamber and changed the name of his position from Overseer to Governor.

''The Official Guilds Act'' - Incentivising guilds to work together and with the government through a number of means.
==== Controversies ====
Early into his Governorship, Khestor was approached by [[Grabhol Faulkrunn|'''Grabhol Faulkrunn''']], a local Jeweller, who offered an opportunity for Khestor to join him in running a criminal enterprise in the Outpost. Khestor believed that this would allow him to keep an eye on the Outpost's underworld while also allowing him to profit off of it. Eventually, this partnership fell through after the murder of the mad dwarf Yorbear Greenfoot by Grabhol and Khestor. Khestor ended the agreement, which led to Grabhol started a quasi-guild with likeminded Dwarves, which he named the Umbral Hand. Its membership included '''[[Grinamor Yelsik]]''' and '''[[Har Bohn]]'''.
The guild quickly became an anti-Khestor faction which was advocating for a new election and an overhall of Zietal Mar's political system. Commanded by Khestor, the Outpost's molir raided the Umbral Hand's headquarters but never found evidence of criminal activity or a planned insurrection. Grabhol was killed by Grol soon after, and the Umbral Hand disbanded with his death. Unfortunately for Khestor, Grabhol left several diaries behind which detailed the history of their agreement. He used his relationships in the Outpost to have the diaries decreed as nothing more than slanderous lies, which soon became the accepted belief. With that, Grabhol Faulkrunn and the Umbral Hand became little more than a memory, and Governor Khestor's political dominance of Zietal Mar was assured.

While not the most glorious building in Zietal Mar, the Outpost Public Library held the vast majority of the writings of its resident Dwarves. While not unexpected at an Outpost of this size, the one in Zietal Mar was particularly populated due to its well-written populace. The Outpost Public Library was managed by Ogrona Frontik, and its catalog contains tomes such as:
* [[Amoral Politics|'''''Amoral Politics''''']]
* [[
* [[Gib's Bulletin|'''''Gib's Bulletin''''']]
* '''[[Man & Society]]'''▼
* '''[[
* '''[[
