~*| Teardrop Chasm |*~
Description:
There exists in the corner of every Sunn citizen's mind a shifting badland of dry wind, blown stone and canyons. They call it the Chasm.. A teardrop shaped stepped ring sundered by legend. It is a location forcefully forgotten or wanted to. In the time of the last great Clan war, the Gulch became a final resting ground for hundreds of soldiers loyal to the cause of their masters. Now the fear runs a different gambit.. Sandblown pillars of stone and ancient ruins hold formidable secrets at bay. The horse barbarians of the Lauryl Province roam these lands branching out to slay their enemies and feast on conquest. Tempered by extremity of temperature these beast men are said to be the restless spirits of the dead crying out for justice and brought back to enslave the city in a ceaseless violent purge. Others speak of dark blood, rituals designed to purify their race bringing the body one step closer to Torek gone horribly wrong.. tampering with the mind and mutating the body, ending with the insanity and bloodlust of a people lost beyond all logic or redemption.
Treasure seekers can be found entering these lands, for with high risk brings the lust of reward unscathed by time and greed. Fire drakes inhabit the mud pools and depths while on certain days of extreme auspiction it said the true souls of the dead warriors themselves stray from their shallow graves and haunt these depths in timeless immortal struggle.
Several of the ruins uncovered or obscured predate existing noble houses telling of larger clans completely obliterated or splintered into the diluted bloodline of today.
It here here that it is said the first woman beheld the child of Torek and the consecration was so great that the lands themselves gave way. Others such as the Kalendryans dictate evidence of a meteor striking the Telath in this very location hundreds of Era ago. Fragments of this strange stone are highly sought by every modern clan for they are rare beyond gold and extremely precious.
