Central Pass

The Quaking Gate of Old Enor

What I wouldn't give for a night without the rumbling roar of the quaking earth and the days of repairs that will undoubtedly follow.

— Larál Koplige, Guard on Olok's Wall

The Central Pass is a wide gap through the otherwise unpassable and deadly terrain of the Enlitic mountains. Located roughly in the middle of the mountain range, the Central Pass serves as a gateway between the human and Panedur controlled south and the unexplored aberati-infested lands to the north. Built across the southern side of the passage is Olok’s Wall, an ancient fortification built first by the Enori after their first deadly encounters with the Aberati of the Pass. Much of the wall remains in disrepair, however, as the earth has a habit of shattering and reforming, damaging structures and opening new holes for the aberati to crawl out from.

Geography

Frequent tremors and the ever-shifting earth have left the Central Pass a labyrinth of sharp edges and deceitful gaps, some of which are seemingly without an end. Marching an army or leading a trade caravan through the mountain pass would be a foolish endeavour, even without the aberati presence. Casualties from unexpected cracks in the ground, the frequent earthquakes, and the sharp and jagged surface of the land are to be expected and whenever people are sent forth beyond Olok’s Wall, they’re almost always a small group of soldiers with distinguished trackers. Edible plants and animals are also a rare sight in the pass, further limiting extended expeditions further into the area.
