A sprawling labyrinth of interlinked canyons stretched across thousands of kilometers, forming one of the most perilous battlegrounds in the Land of the Three Calamities. Even the shallowest of these gorges plummeted over fifteen hundred meters into darkness, and there were some places so profoundly deep that even at midday, the sun's rays failed to illuminate the bottom. This domain was known as the Howling Chasm and was notorious among human and Vorometallicae warriors.
A long-forgotten, enigmatic force permeated the entire region, hindering the senses of cultivators who dared to enter. Under its influence, one might stand a mere fifty meters from an enemy yet remain completely unaware of their presence unless they managed to make direct visual contact. Because the Howling Chasm sat directly between the Golden Sky Fortress of Graecia and a major Vorometallicae stronghold, it became a perpetual theater of conflict for Sages from both factions.
