The strait between Paluva Amati and Ofrenia, connecting the Gulf of Joswik to the open Middle Sea. Control of the Passage has always been contested—now that Alisandra holds both Sylke and Tornia, she effectively controls both ends. Joswik's few ships and the island's fishing boats are the only traffic she doesn't command.
The Passage is dangerous in storms; ships shelter in Shipton's harbor until weather clears. This forced hospitality is Myastor's primary source of legitimate income—provisioning, repairs, and entertainment for bored sailors waiting out bad seas.
