The gorge contained countless exits and hidden passages that branched out in different directions, and once someone entered its depths, the entire place resembled a gigantic maze filled with twisting roads, narrow rocky corridors, and confusing intersections where even experienced travelers could easily lose their sense of direction if they were not extremely careful.
Without the help of skilled scouts and carefully prepared routes, even a large army could wander endlessly among the cliffs and stone walls until its supplies were exhausted and its soldiers became completely lost.
The route chosen by Arcadia had not been selected carelessly or decided at the last moment.
It had been planned over many decades.
Generations of scouts had explored every corner of the gorge.
Countless resources had been invested.
Detailed maps had been prepared through years of travel, observation, and repeated surveys.
