Great Jakar Barrier

The Great Jakar Barrier is a man-made wall of weapons and armor from fallen soldiers on the Dead Wastes of the Barrow Downs region of Terragard. It is named for the great Jakarian army who were completely wiped out on the battlefield in one of Terragard's most bloody campaigns in its history. No one knows how the wall was built, but its made of hundreds of thousands of breastplates and shields held up by pikes and spears, and swords.

The barrier is constructed of hundreds of thousands - possibly millions of weapons from fallen Jakarian soldiers, collected from the bloodiest battle in the Jakarian Empire's campaign to conquor their enemies. The top half of the barrier is a menacing solid mass of iron shields, breastplates and blood, the bottom half is comprised entirely of blades and shafts from swords. pikes spears, lances and other weapons. Some say that it looks like there may have been soldiers in the armor when the pikes were run through, but the armor is positioned and affixed too neatly, it looks more like a memorial than a massacre.

These weapons and armor are ancient and not very effective, nor are the valuable by themselves, they can still be found in the plains of the Dead wastes laying in the ground. To remove a piece of the barrier is considered very bad luck, and disassembling the barrier to pass is considered taboo, its said a curse will befall anyone prideful enough to break the line that so many dead men made.

Whatever it's original intention was, it now serves as a superstition to ward away most visitors or curious travelers who venture too far west of the Lowwind Hills.
