Great Saint Bernard Pass

This is the name used for the pass that the Silk Road travels from Hallstatt to the Western World. It rises from the eastern side of the Great Mountains. As the pass rises in altitude it travels above several small villages and over the Yanan gorge on an ancient stone bridge. It then winds through the northern edge of the High Desert and reaches the highest point shortly afterward. There is a small Celtic shrine at this spot in veneration of the Great Saint Bernard who saved his friends during a late spring snow storm.

As the pass descends on the western side of the mountains it travels past a small side valley where the Dragonslayers have established a base at Roadhaven. The pass then ends at the small town of Prolge just north of Wolfspack.
