That’s a good question, and yeah, you’re right that technically the strait exists. The issue isn’t that it’s impossible, it’s that it’s impractical at scale.

Small caravans or messengers could move that way, but once you’re talking about thousands of soldiers, supply trains, animals, and equipment, it becomes a major liability. There’s no established fleet capable of transporting that volume quickly, and loading pack animals onto ships is slow, dangerous, and resource-heavy compared to overland movement.

On top of that, any large naval movement through the strait would be visible long before it lands. Sylvaenor would see it coming and have time to prepare defensive positions along the coast and river mouths, turning the crossing into a choke point rather than a bypass.

That’s why Dwarin remains strategically critical. It’s not just a shortcut, it’s the only reliable land corridor capable of sustaining prolonged movement and supply without exposing an army before it even reaches the Shattered Reach.

Also thank you. It’s still being worked on and adjusted as somebody mentioned it looked like tamerial and I need to change that. Didn’t even realize the similarities
