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 itself was laid in the 5th century, and has seen little development since besides locals, soldiers moving between Imperial forts, and merchants choosing to avoid the main highway for one reason or another.
The Pass, named due to its situation between two hills, gained infamy during the battle which took it as its namesake. 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 memory and 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.
