Chelna Gap (I6)
A wooded plain between the Felsha Mountains and the highlands of the Shava Forest. The gap is crossed by the Salt Route and is the main land corridor between eastern and western Hârn. Control of its vital traffic was one of the issues leading to the Salt War between Kaldor and the Thardic League. Today, the region is claimed by Kaldor as the Chelmarch, but only the odd patrol from the kingdom is likely to be encountered. Trobridge Inn lies at the western end of the gap. In a battle fought just east of the inn during the Salt War in 672, a Kaldoric army was defeated by a larger force of the Thardic League. The gap is the home of the generally hostile Chelni, a loose federation of some 30 Barbarian tribes. The only hope of safely traversing the gap is to convince a Chelni chief to give his protection in return for suitable gifts.
