Ghelspad Excerpt: Canyon of Souls

From Chapter 4: Topography Canyon of Souls

A number of connected and crossing canyons forms something of a pass through the center of the Kelder Mountains, but like so much that seems convenient in the Scarred Lands, these canyons trap the unwary. The powerful winds that blow east of the Celestial Shelf are diverted around the edge of the plateau and cross southern Vesh and the Mourning Marshes. In those lands, the winds can be a nuisance, but once these winds channel into the Canyon of Souls, their intensity rises to gale force. The resulting winds can instantly pin a man to the walls of the canyon or fling him like a rag doll a league or more before shattering him against unyielding rock. There is, however, a definite pattern to the winds, and the Ontenazians who rule the area claim to know them. Clearly, they do not know them entirely; the deadly winds still sometimes claim brave people. Also worth noting: the winds have effectively sealed off some areas of the canyons for years, even from the adventurous Ontenazians, so the extent of the canyons and their contents remain unknown.

The Canyon of Souls is mentioned in several Source books, including Mithril City of the Golem, Penumbral Pentagon,
