The Glossom Crevasse is a deep fissure in Thondia found west of Excelsis.[1a]

Dimensions

The eastern edge of the Glossam Crevasse is can be found after weeks of hard travel west of Excelsis. It is a deep fissure in the crust of Thondia that is believed to stretch for many thousands of miles. Its exact size has never been recorded, for it is vast beyond reckoning, and hunters believe that Thondia regularly changes its dimensions in unpredictable ways.[1a]

Ecosystem

The crevasse’s interior is so massive that wildly disparate ecosystems thrive within it. Multiple nomadic bands of Gor-kin are thought to roam its length in year long migrations that sees them fighting feuding kingdoms of Gloomspite Gitz, colonies of ambulatory slime moulds, and countless tribes dedicated to the Ruinous Powers, all while avoiding the many deadly predators that hunt its treacherous interior.[1a]

Aether-Gold Deposits

One of the crevasse’s more unusual properties is that it seems to regularly attract streams of aether-gold. Unsurprisingly, the Kharadron Overlords routinely mine the skies above the crevasse, but other recent discoveries have also drawn their attention. For reasons yet unknown, the aether-gold above the crevasse routinely coalesces, causing solid droplets of aether-gold to plummet into the depths below. There are strange creatures within the Glossom Crevasse that can apparently live on the stuff. The Aether-Khemists Guild has offered sizable bounties to anyone that can bring them living specimens of the aether-gold consuming beasts from the crevasse, but no expeditions have returned.[1a]
