	As with the [[Eternal Shafts of Time]], ownership of the Fortress was hotly contested between Temeschwar and [[Karov]] in the early days of the Empire; its physical location is little more than a mile from the border with the Varushkan territory, and a strong case was made at the time that the boundary could easily have been drawn to include the Fortress of Salt. While Temeschwar retained nominal control of the territory around the Fortress of Salt, the mines (along with the [[Great Pits of Ennerlund]]) were ultimately declared an Imperial Bourse resource.

			Following the Autumn Equinox 384YE, the activities of dreadful heralds in the [[Temeschwar#Metri\|forests of Metri]] threatened to cut the Fortress of Salt off from the rest of the Empire. [[Don%27t_blame_me#Broken_Hospitality\|Demands for higher wages]] from guards escorting caravans through the haunted woods contributed to a reticence among wagoneers to visit the Fortress, increasing the amount of money the Senate needed to spend on upkeep of the Bourse seat to 12 Thrones each season.
