Location
Features
- Celvan River - The river which demarcates the border between Karelëa and Estëva provinces. At the location where it drops over the bluff, it forms a twin waterfall.
- Black Henge - An ancient stone circle and altar of dark stone located atop an overlook on the escarpment.
- Kemp Hyläböm (town) - A Kythan freetown located on a island between a twin waterfall where the Celvan River drops over the bluff. This is one of the most strategic and safe points to ascend or descend the escarpment.
- Narn River - The river which demarcates the border between Estëva and Tenerëa provinces. Where it intersects the bluff the river has carved a deep gorge approximately two kilometres in length.
History
- The bluff has always formed a natural border between different clans in the early history of the region before the unification of Kythus. It remains a border limit between various fiefs and domains within the country to date.
