Throughout history, control of the pass has been synonymous with Orasian self-governance. In times of external threat, the [[Council of Stone]] ordered its sealing through layered resonance barriers—carved stone gates harmonically locked with [[osia]] patterns. These closures were not only physical defenses but spiritual declarations, signaling a period of inward retreat and civic renewal. | Throughout history, control of the pass has been synonymous with Orasian self-governance.

|Strategic Importance=Though most Orasian travel and trade occurs through the [[Deep Roads]], the Tarsuun Pass remains vital for ceremonial processions, surface-based resource movement, and overland communication.
