BARNOCK’S RIFT

     This large gorge measures nearly six miles in length and is constantly filled with a greenish fog.  This fog is said to have strange magical properties, and it totally obscures the vision of any that enter the canyon beyond a few feet making exploration of the rift a difficult task.  Attempts at charting the rift have all met with disaster, and tales of strange creatures and landmarks abound.  It is named for a Stone Deep Dwarf, Barnock Stoneybeard, who supposedly was the first to visit the place and make note of it.
