In olden days, this wide pass in the
Nether Mountains witnessed constant
strife between the allied forces of men
and elves against waves of orc invasions
from the north. Now it is the front line
of the North's defense against the fiends
of Hellgate Keep. The rough terrain
here is frequently patrolled by warriors
from Sundabar and bands of
armed undead who follow in the wake
of demon commanders.
