The Cut

The Cut, an intimidating piece of natural landscaping found to the north of Yaralon. It is a path which leads through the Heaven's Fall Fortress into the northern reaches of Yaralon. This pass into to the rest of Idalos is considered to be a safer but a more lengthy route than those who choose the other passes. From its edging peaks to slippery slopes its best to say that staying on the path is one's best hope of safe travel, otherwise the pass will live up to its name and "cut" you from your current existence.

It is believed by those of the area that the cut was forged during the Shattering, followed by the war between mortals and immortals. Some believe the immortal Raskalarn carved the mountain pass on her grand conquest of the eastern continent. The truth to these concepts have yet to be proven, as those who bore witness are no longer with us. As of now the mountain pass has remained within Yaralon control, using the natural fortress of Heaven's Fall to defend the northern route to Yaralon.

One must pay attention to the many beasts that call it home, three of which pose the greatest danger if provoked while traversing the Cut. The first is the Mistral, a winged horned beast that roams the highest heights within the mountain range. Docile by nature, it becomes ferocious with the hint of hostility, its natural senses far above most who breath. Next is the Sabercorn, a majestic steed that is both elusive and deadly. The blade-horned beast is a cautious one, and rarely allows mortal to get close to it, impaling them with its bladed horn. They say it has empathic powers, able to gauge one's intent, though this could easily be beastly intuition. The last danger of the Cut is the vicious Massibex Packs. The horse-size hounds hunt in packs of 10-30 and roam the Cut in search of food, or travelers overwhelming them with sheer numbers. Besides the beasts of the Cut, the only other dangers of this place are the natural ones. From steep climbing cliffs, randoms rock falls of jagged stone, or pitfalls, one has nothing to worry about if they traverse carefully.
