The Saark

canon_json location / cliff-line locations.the_saark source record → mindmap →

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.
