Horned Pass
The Horned Pass is the only safe way to reach Lathva by land. It is a snow-choked place, so named for the two distinctively curved mountains on either side, referred to as Ymgar's Horns.
The Horned Pass is very wide and relatively safe, but it is heavily guarded by the isolationist Lathvans, who put aside their many tribal conflicts and feuds in the service of keeping the New Gods from their lands. Every clan sends warriors to the Horned Gate that guards the pass, and violence between those stationed here is punishable by death.
The officers who oversee the Horned Gate are almost always clerics or priests of the The Old Gods and the Forgotten, if they are not Forgotten themselves; tribal war-leaders have often proven to be all too willing to bring the politics of the tribes to the Horned Gate. Military leaders are present, of course, but most are either outcasts from their clan or have proven their loyalty to the Old Gods, and in almost all cases are overseen by priestly officials.
