Varkna’s Grasp is a formidable natural choke point where the River Varkna narrows into a deep, winding channel just before reaching the sea. Flanked by jagged rocks and steep cliffs, this location features The River Gate, a brutal fortification made from the bones of trees, iron bindings, and forgotten magic, making it the most defensible point in Hardalag.

The Water Wall is a massive wooden barrier, constructed from thick beams and enchanted with ancient runes. It can be raised or lowered using pulleys and massive chains from two watchtowers on either side of the river, and when closed, iron spikes rise from beneath the waterline, ready to impale any ship attempting to force passage.
