Terra's Scar
Terra's Scar is a giant canyon that cleaves through the south west of Meintalia, isolating the Sahlak Mountains and the Western Sahlabao Desert. Legend says that it was formed by Terra to separate the Sahlak Mountains from the rest of Meintalia for fear of Chief Krulgum the Exploiter destroying The Crystal Basin. The canyon itself starts in Meintalia but spreads across the entire southern border of Enuthia as well.
The ravine itself is home to a small village and a mysterious obelisk thought to be a walled city that nobody has ever entered. Spiroul is the name of the small village near the mouth of the ravine and Kutamo is the name given to the mysterious obelisk/city in the centre.
Geography
Terra's Scar is also referred to as The Great Ravine, although it's technically a canyon, surrounded on both sides by sheer walls reaching over a mile high where the ravine crosses through the Sahlak Mountains. The River Veremil runs through the ravine from the River Ryvern, leading through Lake Veremil to Kutamo.
The western end of the ravine leads in to The Deadlands and so naturally some monstrous creatures stray into Meintalia through here, though they rarely make it far as the aridity and heat usually stops them. This being said, the western part of the ravine in Meintalia is best avoided unless absolutely necessary. The eastern end of the ravine opens up on the border of the East Sahlabao Desert, with the northern wall building down to a slope and the southern wall continuing on the form Sahlabao's Bluff.
