Mu Gia pass

The lowest gap in the whole northern Annamite chain, carrying the track from the Gianh valley over into the Se Bang Fai and the middle Mekong.

Neither Dai Viet nor anyone else garrisons it; the people of the pass take a cut of what goes through (board).

Where the sources disagree

Evidence: The campaign board entry note and a modern coordinate; nothing in our sources dates the place to 1200.

"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
