Channel

Channel is a small ruined town in the Yon'kar Mountains on the Channel Plateau. Owing to it's difficult location on the Plateau, the city of Channel was ruined during the Second War of Sunshire and regularly faces back and forth occupation between the Kingdom of Sunshire and the Chiefdom of Orukonus due to the latter's easy access through hidden tunnels in the mountains connecting into the Orcish wastelands. Due to the consistently changing holders, the city is considered to be a disputed territory. The city is seen as valuable by both countries due to it's plethora of gold and gemstone mines in the surrounding areas.

Several attempts have been made by Sunshire to reclaim Channel and the surrounding area containing the mines on the Plateau, but none have been successful for more than several months at a time. Access up to the plateau in Sunshire is restricted through narrow paths. The strategic advantage goes to Orukonus through tunnels located in the Yon'kar Mountains leading up to the plateau. Whilst this access is clear, the tunnels remain dangerous and full of wild creatures, which has forced Orukonus to only send small numbers through to occupy the city. As both nations find it difficult to access with limited forces being sent at any one time, occupancy is always switching from one country to the other.

The Monastery of Zenarthaso is located 60 miles to the south, on the edge of the plateau overlooking Greatwatch.
