*The Endless Rift – A canyon so deep that its bottom is rarely touched by sunlight, with walls that bear the etched history of ages long past. | ===Notable Features=== | ||
*'''The Endless Rift''' – A canyon so deep that its bottom is rarely touched by sunlight, with walls that bear the etched history of ages long past. Some believe it has no true end, as anything that falls into its depths is never seen again. | |||
*'''Zareth Cascade''' – A mighty waterfall fed by the highlands of [[Delmora]], its torrents plunging into the depths of the Endless Rift. During the dry season, the cascade thins into mist, but in the storm season, it becomes a relentless force, carving the canyon deeper with every passing year. Some say its waters vanish into hidden underground lakes, while others whisper of a buried abyss where the river never truly ends. | |||
*'''The Pinnacles of Mourn''' – A collection of towering, needle-like rock formations rising from the canyon floor. Their bases erode over time, causing them to collapse one by one. Some of the spires bear faint, unreadable inscriptions, their origins long forgotten. The Kuthar use the highest peaks as wind-watching outposts, while the Drahari believe these formations are gravestones left by the land itself. | |||
*'''The Winding Sepulcher''' – A twisting maze of ravines and gorges that shift unpredictably due to rockfalls and flash floods. Paths that exist one season may be buried the next, making navigation treacherous. The Drahari claim that forgotten ruins and artifacts lie hidden within, but few dare to linger, fearing the canyon will entomb them. | |||
*'''The Drowned Steps''' – A vast series of terraced rock formations descending toward the eastern coast near [[Fendralis]]. During flood season, cascading water fills the steps, briefly transforming them into a shimmering descent toward the ocean. Some believe they once led to an ancient coastal city, now lost to time, swallowed by the shifting land and the encroaching tides. | |||
