|Introduction=The '''Tarsuun Pass''' is a narrow, highland corridor marking the southern gateway into Sanctuary Vale. Positioned between the lower slopes of the Khargaath Range and the fog-draped Terraces of Mist, it serves as both a geographic threshold and a culturally charged boundary. Measuring approximately 30 miles in length and between 5 and 10 miles in width, the pass is one of the few viable overland routes into the vale.
|Introduction=The Tarsuun Pass is a narrow, highland corridor marking the southern gateway into [[Sanctuary Vale]]. Positioned between the lower slopes of the [[Khargaath Range]] and the fog-draped [[Murazkar Range]], it serves as both a geographic threshold and a culturally charged boundary. Measuring approximately 30 miles in length and between 5 and 10 miles in width, the pass is one of the few viable overland routes into the vale.
|Geography=Tarsuun Pass is defined by layered stone terraces, fractured cliffs, and mineral springs. Natural basalt formations along the path are thought to have been shaped by [[Orasian]] long ago.
 
The pass gradually narrows as it approaches [[Dul-Val]], whose fortified terraces overlook its final ascent into the valley proper.
|Historical Significance=The Tarsuun Pass has long served as the principal overland route into Sanctuary Vale. The pass was first opened during the [[Great Erosion]], and served as a critical entry point for retreating Orasians.
 
Throughout history, control of the pass has been synonymous with the protective nature of Sanctuary Vale.
|Cultural Significance=The entrance to Sanctuary Vale itself is marked by the [[Kelridan Gates]], large stone slabs thought to have been erected by the Orasiians who may have used them to seal off the valley from external threats.
