pass
The only practical pass from the Saark cliff country into the northeastern highlands. Burned open in 1294 AZN and dead ground for a generation afterward.
Also known as The Ash Gate, The Throat
Content
Character
Steep-sided, roughly two thousand paces long, with no parallel route that does not add a season's march. Holding it held the highlands. Losing it lost them.
Legacy
One of the two engagements of the Seventy Claws that every Saarotsos officer can name. Zegtuzsos travellers passing through it are traditionally silent for its full length.
Overview
A narrow defile at the eastern end of the Saark. The Zegtuzsos name for it, the Throat, is older than the war and purely descriptive. The imperial name is not: netin is ash or coal, fojaa is gate, and the Empire named it for what it did there.
Role In The War
Taken in 1294 by Kaemisyol in person, using Kori at a scale not previously seen in the war. The floor of the pass afterward lay under coal-ash deep enough to kill the ground; the imperial road through it was laid on ash rather than soil and nothing grew in the defile for roughly sixty years.
