The Sunward Marches consists of rolling hilly and rocky terrain that comprises most of western Kourna, and together with the Marga Coast, the western coastline of Kourna. A large Kournan military garrison known as Morzek Garrison dominates the area, providing both security and trouble for the surrounding population.

Notes[edit]
- There is a group of Rampaging Ntouka in the northwestern corner which is much larger than the average group size for this zone. It has a patrol route that heads south.
- Kournan military outside of the garrison are level 16. Those inside the garrison itself are level 20.
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 297 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 267 to 327 foes.
- Additional allies (6) and foes during And a Hero Shall Lead Them.
- Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 3.0% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
- The large group of Rampaging Ntouka, referred to above, is deadly if a party is not prepared for the damage spike.
- To collect bounties, it is recommended to leave from Command Post going in a clockwise direction.
