The Northern Checkpoint (北の関所; Kita no Sekisho) is a location in Suikoden.
Overview[]
The Northern Checkpoint is an important stronghold and the sole gateway connecting the Kunan and Senan region. Its purpose is to stop invaders from the north reaching the Kunan region, as well as monitor the traffic heading in both directions from the small fort.
During the Toran Liberation War, it was commanded by Griffith, an officer of the Scarlet Moon Empire. The Battle at the Northern Checkpoint was fought here. The strategist of the Liberation Army, Mathiu Silverberg, was able to lead a surprise attack on the checkpoint. Griffith, realizing the Empire's disadvantage, made the bold decision to surrender the gate. This act of prudence continues to be praised by the people.
