The Saark
A cliff wall running along the northern edge of the Ihtaa Fens, holding the Zegtuzsos citadels reduced during the Road War.
Character
Dry, windy, and defensible to a degree that made assault pointless. Water came from springs within the rock, which is why the Yuliz citadels had to be traced and cut rather than simply blockaded.
Overview
A long escarpment where the fen basin ends and the highland country begins. The Zegtuzsos cut citadels into its face rather than building on top of it - approach from below is exposed and approach from above requires already holding the highlands.
Role In The War
The Road War, 1286-1297. Revakgol advanced along the cliff base by fortified road, reducing citadels in sequence. Three fell during the Yuliz Sieges of 1288-1291. The line ends at the pass the Empire renamed Netin'Fojaa.
