Netin'Fojaa Netin'Fojaa

canon_json military_conflict military_conflicts.netin_fojaa source record → mindmap →

The breaking of the highland pass in 1294 AZN, and the only engagement of the Road War that Kaemisyol commanded in person. The pass has been dead ground since.

Consequence

Netin'Fojaa ends the Road War and opens the Cliff Sieges. With the pass held, the highland clan-holds could be reached individually and could no longer reinforce one another.

Engagement

He burned it open. Kori was used at a scale the war had not previously seen and the Kori Codexes were standardized within a generation partly on the basis of what was recorded here.

The imperial name is literal rather than figurative. After the fighting the floor of the pass lay under coal-ash to a depth that killed the ground; nothing grew there for a generation and the road through it was built on ash rather than soil.

Overview

A single pass, the only practical route from the Saark cliff country into the northeastern highlands. The Zegtuzsos had held it for twenty-five years by holding nothing else - every other approach was worse.

Kaemisyol came north for it personally.

Two Names

The Zegtuzsos call the pass the Throat, and had called it that long before the war - it is a description of the terrain. That the Empire renamed it for what it did there, and that the Zegtuzsos kept the older name, is the whole disagreement in miniature.
