      |  The immense elemental canyon lies deep within the Southern     |
      |  Mountains. Once, long ago, the canyon was a flat portion of    |
      |  forest, yet the workings of a powerful elder mage destroyed    |
      |  the landscape surrounding his, or her, home. As a backlash     |
      |  from his wielding of elemental magicks, strange entities       |
      |  formed of the very elements were formed. These magical beings  |
      |  staked out land in the newly created canyon and now wage a war |
      |  amongst each other. Little else is known about these eerie     |
      |  beings and their war, for none have ever managed to            |
      |  communicate with the inhabitants of the canyon.                |
      |                                                                 |
