The Pit

At the farthest and deepest part of the massive underground canyon known as The Deep Crag Run, there is a massive hole, nearly a mile wide, with naturally formed (though extremely dangerous) pathways and tunnels. This hole, effectionately referred to as "The Pit" is the source of danger and sustenance for the people of the crag. Strange monsters come from the pit, commonly gricks, grells, grucks, groms, and the like. These are easy enough to kill and eat, and the watchmen typically do just that. Though occasionally beasts crawl out from underneath that are unique and terrible, These often require the collective efforts of the people of the crag to repel or defeat and have more often than not yielded much tragedy.
