When the wielders of the many Tokens that appeared in the world clashed, the enormous amount of magical energy churned and broke the world under them. The resulting scar on the world created a chasm that spans over 5 miles wide, and over 400 long. The chasm spans streatches from the Karsk Mountains to the Central Highlands creating a natural border between Kespia and Tyria.
