The Abyss
The Pit From Which All Malice Emerges
General
The Abyss is a pit of unknown depth situated below Tersulum it is accessed by any who go/fall down. It is from this pit that the Abyssal creatures and their masters first emerged to claim the land and the lowest skies. Not much is known about the Abyss below the top layer as any who adventure further do not return. The boundary of the abyss and Tersulum is vague, there is no marker such as the The Storm Plain between Tersulum and Caesula. However, those who are smart stay well clear from any area that could be considered 'contested'.
Geography
The Abyss is noted for its extremely low levels of light, in fact it is so low that it is difficult to tell the difference between night and day even on the upmost layer. Because of this those who enter often quickly lose their sense of time. There are a great variety of chaotic weather patterns such as thunderwalls and firestorms but there is no known landmasses (other than what remains of the original land). There are claims that islands exist in the Abyssal Skies but no one who has reached low enough has returned.
Creatures
There are many creatures in The Abyss, the most notable being wyverns, dragons and the Abyssal Gods themselves. There are also smaller and relatively less dangerous creatures such as harpies and chimera, for a full list see Abyssal Creatures. These creatures are extremely antagonistic and will attack any non-abyssal creatures on sight. They are most often avoided by the people of Tersulum when they can except when they are acquiring Abyssal Blood to use as fuel for Aredian Iventions such as Aredian Engines.
History
It is presumed that The Abyss has always existed in some form or another. Before The First Invasion it was most likely hidden under the earths crust. A variety of historical events have involved The Abyss is some way
