Today’s location teaser is none other than the dark chasm of the Wound, a terrible place where travelers dare not go, and oft-times where nightmares are made manifest. True to its name, the gouge in the land glows with a conspicuous crimson light and its walls appear covered in blood or viscera. Travelers who have surveyed its length say it is more than fifteen miles long, the plunging chasm within its confines ranging between one hundred and two hundred yards in depth.

A stench permeates its vicinity – horrid, gangrenous, rotten – which often causes terrible nausea and can allegedly even kill. One can smell it from miles off. No one has ever returned from ill-fated ventures to its bottom, although many have tried. Most folk in the Riven Realms avoid the place like the plague – quite fittingly.

Those of you who’ve had the pleasure of playing our “Pilgrims of the Wasteland” prologue story may remember it, at least in some capacity. Why, then, are we teasing it today?

Because in our At the Heart of Ruin expansion, you’ll be able to go there yourself at last and explore the place. At least, somewhat explore it. After some initial issues. You see, of late, something has stirred deep within the Wound. Tales abound of decrepit, alien things creeping out of it, and the braver souls in Tahrar Barak are paying attention. So are folk in Scrapheap.

Does it not look inviting? We certainly think so. And yet, intriguing discoveries might be made even is such a horrifying place. To find out more as we inch closer to the expansion’s release, stay tuned, stay wary, and conquer the wasteland!
