Serpent's Pass

The Serpent's Pass is the sole crossing between the Directian -Leasathian portion of the Katarin Mountains and therefore the primary crossing through the region. The small winding pass is reputed for its treacherousness and many travellers that traverse the pass do not make it through. During the Osean Continental War, the pass was the site of the Battle of the Katarin Mountains, one of the most significant battles (and certainly the largest) of the war. The Directian VIII Legion, awaiting the Leasathian army, was stationed at the top of a portion of the pass known as the Semper way, in which a winding pass leads over a steep cliff, Using the advantageous position, the Directian Legion was able to decisively defeat the much larger Leasathian force. The Serpent's Pass is now the site of a Directian military fortification which is part of the Hadrian Line.
