The Wound
Rift that splits the plain at the foot of the Cendra Range from west to east, opened by a cataclysm no one remembers.
Description
It is a long, jagged fracture that crosses the plain in a gentle curve and, in its central stretch, sinks into darkness with no visible bottom. Its broken edges are worn by the centuries, and toward the ends it narrows until it frays into fine cracks. Around it spread the Wound Barrens, a band of burned and cracked earth that not even time has healed and that fades little by little into the fields. At its eastern end stands the Cendra Watchtower.
Ruins
On both sides of the rift, the remains of buildings show: stretches of wall, fallen columns and broken-topped towers, half swallowed by the earth. Some stretches seem cut cleanly by the fracture, as if the city or sanctuary that stood here had been split in two.
Legends
No sure memory remains of what opened the rift. Every village around it, every temple and every elder in Vesper tells a different version, and none agrees with the others.
