== Toponymy ==
See: [[Commonwealth of Blackthorn#Toponymy|''Topynomy of Blackthorn'']]
The name "Zethortal" comes from the Valtaran "''Zethar Rorthal"'', which is the native Valtaran name for Blackthorn.▼

== History ==
=== Pre-Zydel War ===
See: ''[[Blackthorn#History|History of Blackthorn]]''
Prior to the area's settlement by the Valtaran population, the area was populated by fae peoples. The fae peoples of the area have been documented to be less curious and more docile than fae peoples living on the eastern side of the lake, likely hinting at increased contact with the outside world compared to other fae peoples. The fae peoples living in the area were dubbed "Zethortalic Fae" by the Blackthorian population to differentiate them from the Albionese Fae living within what is now the Faewood.
Towards the end of the Zydel war, however, the area was one of many selected to be a possible location to escape to in the event of things going sour on the island of Valtara, should Zydel win.▼
=== Blackthorian Settlement ===
▲Towards the end of the Zydel war
Shortly after the end of the Ceyreto-Zydel war, the people of Blackthorn made their exodus to the location, settling the region and giving it its current name.▼
▲Shortly after the end of the Ceyreto-Zydel war, the people of Blackthorn made their exodus to the location, settling the region and giving it its current name. The Zethortal project was spearheaded by Emilia Rivers, with Councillor Thomas Scythorne acting as a second-in-command, as well as the city's main architect.
=== Acquisition of the Guild Land ===
Shortly after the founding of the city, the nearby Adventurer's Guild was experiencing internal turmoil within its leadership, with the leader of the Guild being less and less active within the Guild yet demanding more and more control. As such, the vice-guildmaster, Lady Moon, who was also on the Blackthorn Interim Council, siezed control of the Guild. Upon siezure, Moon offered to merge the Guild lands directly into the city district of Zethortal as to improve protection of the Guild.
== Geography ==
Zethortal is mainly centred around northern taiga region of [[Ceyreto]], with the main city being temperate to below average temperature year-round. The city's proximity to the lake also causes temperatures to be significantly lower during the winter than in areas outside the range of the lake.
In the former Guild lands to the south, while the lake effect is still present, the temperatures are warmer in the summer compared to the city proper.
