Reu so Am

Reu so Am (“ravine of fire”)is a large and seeminly scorched ravine in Vitsoresh, lying a few miles north of the village To. Its origins are said to be from this text from the Inkling Sagas:

“In one such legend, during a festival, some humans were building a large bonfire on top of a small hill, at the base of which lay their camp. It burned so large that it outshone all the stars in the sky giving the night sky a very black and plain appearance. It was so bright that it caught the attention of Aiskolas who wasn’t impressed with the show of flame and grandeur. Rather he was insulted that a human would a tempt to shine a light brighter than himself. So he flew down to the human camp and with a great flap of his wings he summoned a great flame which devoured every tent, and any unfortunate soul in them. The resulting fire burned not just yellow, but blue and white as its flames cracked and roared into the night. Aiskolas’s fire burned so bright that the sunless night sky grew blue and full as if it was noon on a sunny day. The fire burned so hot that everything nearby was either burned or melted, the flesh of any nearby humans erupted into flame, the forests and grass were scorched, the ash itself burned into oblivion, even the rock and stone melted. As the fire raged on the ground collapsed and fell into itself leaving a massive crack in the land. To this show of flame and torment Kialge answered with thundering blows to punish Aiskolas for his shallow jealousy and murder.”
