THE GREAT CHASM YAWNS ACROSS THE PLAINS. The rip in the earth looks like the jagged cut of some great god’s knife. By day, its redstone cliffs hold the seductive promise of wealth and glory. By night, its vast expanse crouches like a black [[shadow]] encroaching ever closer. | THE GREAT CHASM YAWNS ACROSS THE PLAINS.

And, of course, where there is chaos, there is the potential for profit. Politicians and wealthy merchants from each of these nations - and even from the kingdoms beyond the heart of conflict - weave their schemes, trying to leverage strife and uncertainty to their own advantage. | But all is not well in Bridgemoor.
