mountain fastness
The final Zegtuzsos mountain bastion of the Great Wyrm War, besieged 1303-1305 AZN and surrendered rather than taken.
Also known as The Last Clutch
Content
Character
Effectively unstormable by the standards of the age and effectively unstarvable in the short term, since its water was internal and its stores deep. What it could not do was end. There was nowhere further to withdraw to and nobody left to relieve it.
Legacy
Still inhabited. Garrisoned by the Empire under the terms of the surrender, and administered by a Mulaagjun, which makes it the clearest physical statement of what the settlement of 1305 actually was. In Saarotsos usage the name has drifted into an idiom for an ending everyone survived, which Zegtuzsos speakers find intolerable.
Overview
A highland fastness built into and under a mountain, holding its own springs. The last seat of Zegtuzsos independent authority and the place the surviving Mulaagjuns gathered after Urtkaa.
Role In The War
Invested in the winter of 1303. Kaemisyol declined to assault it and instead built rings of fortified road around the mountain over twenty-six months. The delegation that went to Vusokaar under the white-scorched banner in 1305 came from here.
