Welcome To

Morgil Chasms

---

“The sight of the chasm walls is dizzying! The first time I walked across the rickety bridge, I thought for sure I was going to fall to my death. These days, my steps are more confidant, and I have learned to watch not the chasms below, but the skies above.

There is a tale of how this place was made. I heard it told that the birds forced the Pokemon on the ground to dig the lesser parts of the earth, leaving small islands of the good land for the birds to nest upon. It would certainly explain their territorial behavior towards wayward travelers.”

A land divided, the Chasms are two separate ecosystems occupying the same land. Above, the land is covered in dry prairie grasses and succulents atop the many mesas and islands. Bridges of every type and age dot the chasms, meaning that it doesn’t take much effort to find your way across.

The local Pokemon might not make it easy, however. The birds of the Chasms are extraordinarily predatory, and attack any trespassers on sight. Camping in the Chasms means forgoing a fire, lest you draw attention.

Beneath the islands are the chasm depths. These dark corridors carry the melt water from the Lionta Mountains to the ocean, resulting in a surprising variety of diversity. While flying types rarely come down into the depths, water types are plentiful. Entire ponds lay hidden from the sun in the depths, while mossy walls transform the depths into something alien compared to the world above.

Points of Interest

Five Towers -

Near the Port Baile side of the Chasms is a cluster of exceptionally tall pillars known as the Five Towers. Perrserker and foolhardy Trainers will both climb the towers to get at the eggs of bird Pokemon. Doing so is extremely risky considering the long drop and lack of shelter from swooping attacks.

A path winds up each of the towers, giving easy access to the nests in the tower walls and a way to the nests atop the towers without needing to climb sheer rock faces.


Allaid's Stand -

The bandit leader Allaid fled Cea Asta after his raid on the city was foiled. It is said the warriors chased him nonstop for four days, until at last they were out on the plateaus of the chasms.

It was here Allaid had made his camp. Deep in the heart of the chasms atop the largest plateau, he knew he could hold it against an army if needed. And so Allaid held his ground against the warriors.

For five days they were held back, until they finally managed to storm the bandit's camp. Only, Allaid wasn't there. It seemed he had slipped into the chasms below, and was never found.

Today, Allaid's Stand is used as a rest stop and occasional market by travelers. Many of the buildings are gone, but it remains one of the safer places in the upper part of the Morgil Chasms.


The Green Pillar -

At the middle of the path through the chasms is a massive pillar of rock. Covered in centuries of plant growth, it spends most of the year looking like an impossibly large tumbleweed. However, with the flooding of the chasm every spring, the pillar bursts into vibrant life.

Pokemon erupt from the green foliage, while others travel from the plains to the pillar. For a brief time, the chasms are filled with masses of Pokemon, all trying to take advantage of the water and the greenery.

As the water dries, the leaves fade, leaving only the dead remnants of vines and other plants. Pokemon can be found here all year long, scavenging for something edible that was left behind.


Mud Drifts -

Down in the depths of the chasms, there are places that never see direct sunlight. In some of these places sediment from the floods piles up eventually forms massive drifts.

Grass, ground, and water type Pokemon all seek out these piles of mud and loose sediment. Some drifts are documented in texts dating before the fall of the Empire, and can still be found today.

Mud drifts are not isolated to a particular part of the chasms, and can be found throughout them.


Trickling Fonts -

Occasionally you can find terraced pools in the chasm depths. Water trickles down the pools, connecting in a network spanning miles.

Water collects from the pools, eventually finding its way to the streams meandering through the chasms.

Pokemon gather both in these pools and around them. Fish Pokemon will leap from pool to pool, while grass types will rest in the perpetual shade.


Deeps Oasis -

Travelers passing through the chasm depths are often advised to look for the Deeps Oasis. It marks a safe place for those who have an increasing sense of claustrophobia while travelling through the narrow confines of the chasm depths.

The Deeps Oasis is a gap in the pillars of rock. At its heart is a pond, framed on all sides by greenery. It is a popular destination for travelers of all kinds, both human and Pokemon.
