Ginther’s Rift
Deep within the Outlands of Valtheran, a millennia of runoff and seismic activity has open up a massive fissure in the ground, widening it and deepening it as time passed on. Today, this fissure has become a gigantic canyon that stretches on over several kilometers in length, and is several hundred meters deep. The canyon was discovered by a renowned explorer and hero from the past, Ginther D’Covale, and was the site of a great battle between him and a dangerous warlord. As such, the canyon was named in his honor. Ginther’s Rift is a kind of box canyon, having only a single mouth, and the two walls meeting together at the other end. The Rift has a river cutting through its base that eventually cuts out to the sea from the mouth, and this mouth is guarded by a pair of fortresses built into the sides.
Ginther’s Rift is home to a vast array of species that live in the environment within the canyon. Due to the river, the canyon floor is extremely fertile and holds an abundance of trees and other plantlife. The land is still harsh and rugged, and as such some of the creatures living within it are extremely dangerous, including Hydra, Giant Spiders, and Dinosoids. Since Ginther’s Rift is the location of united nations of Valtheran’s seat of power, Iaedora, the Rift is heavily defended, as a number of outposts and fortresses have been constructed throughout the Canyon between the gate fortresses and the Hanging City. Some of the fortresses are left from ancient times and built into the walls themselves, and as such are where the air forces are stationed. At the end of the canyon, ancient structures built into the walls hold the gigantic cables that support the Hanging City of Iaedora.
