Fissure of Echoes

A great chasm located east of the Istar Jungle within the tundra. Long ago it was told by the Tsol'dasi that Carme who was lost in the northern wilderness stumbled upon a a place of sublime beauty: a hollow amidst three icy hills. There, sheltered from the howling winds, grew a single fir tree. Snow fell lightly all round it, and Carme felt utter peace. As he rested beneath the boughs of the fir, he began to reflect upon the past. By the time Carme resumed his journey, he was overwhelmed by his memories. He wept for his family and for the idyllic times that could never again be. As he crossed the frozen wasteland, his tears fell hot to the ground, melting the ice behind him and creating a great chasm. Though no one knows if this is true, though there is a great salt lake presumed from Carme's tears. This place has some of the most dangerous creatures lurking within its depths, that few ever come out again.
