Editing Kovorov (section)

==== Grand Tunnel of Taphonax ====
Below the Barrow river runs a tunnel. Long ago, the largest purple worm ever under the control of the mage known as Taphonax, bored a tunnel to connect Kovorov and [[Breoa]]. The mage went into hiding and the worm was killed in short order. Then, the Czar was left to consider the tunnel. She signed a treaty with [[Breoa]] and opened the tunnel for travel. Ever since, it has been a hotly contested battleground. Each country has tried to use the Grand Tunnel of Taphonax as a way to exert their authority over the other.

In times of strife or animosity between the two nations, the tunnel is closed. Each waiting to see what the other will do and who will attempt diplomacy. Yet, no matter the circumstances, up to five-hundred Kovorovian soldiers stand ready to rush the tunnel at a moment's notice. Their mission is to secure a foothold and the tunnel until the forces with Ramiborg can reinforce them.

By order of the Czar, the tunnel must be held by Kovorov if war ever breaks out. There are rumors that Magestov officials have been looking for Taphonax for decades. Their goal, not to kill him, but to ask him to secretly make another tunnel. The Oric Zaklanik would never stand for this. However, efforts press on with positive tidings.
