33 Drakesfall Gorge is a canyon carved over ages by the flow of the Denn River. According to local legend, a dragon once fell from the sky toward Drake Castle, and the impact gouged a long trench into the earth, creating the gorge. The dramatic formation sits at the border between Hernand and Demeniss, making it a natural boundary between the two regions.

1212 The name "Drakesfall" derives from the legend of a dragon that plummeted from the sky and struck the earth with enough force to carve the gorge. Whether this legend has any connection to the supernatural forces of the Abyss is unknown, but the presence of ancient ruins throughout Pywel suggests that dragon legends often carry a grain of truth in this world.
