Three-Cairns' Warning
What the Korl pass-holder tells every traveller who wants to cross the Wind-Cut Pass without a guide — scratched in Korl script on a stone at the trailhead, with a Stoneborn translation gouged below.
The Korl line reads: 'The pass closes when it speaks. It has spoken.' The Stoneborn translation below it reads: 'The last three who went up without waiting are still up there.' Both are accurate. Neither is exaggerated.
