Elysian Pass (building)
The Elysian Pass is an unremarkable crossing between the village of Ilthia to the east and the fortress of Thamasatro to the west, several leagues west of the principal routes south into the Empire. The road was laid in the 5th century, and has seen little development since besides locals, soldiers moving between Imperial forts, and merchants avoiding the main highway for one reason or another.
It was here that the Witch-Breaker met 26 Aversarian legions, plus thousands of auxiliary troops from Aversaria and abroad, in what was the single largest congregation of Aversarian soldiers in recent memory as well as the first sign of Imperial unity against the Sjalvolki since the beginning of the Migrations. It was also here that only four legions managed to limp away, the majority of the soldiers sent north never to return, and with the Sjalvolki army nearly untouched.
Travelers generally avoid the area, believing it to be haunted or worried that the Sjalvolki use of Fog Magic may have poisoned the land. Those that do generally find the lack of anything remarkable the most remarkable feature of the area, though armor, weapons, and bones litter the countryside.
