Far northwest of the Celestial Springs Resort, a deep valley surrounded by two large mountain peaks called Crescent Ridge Basin existed. While that wasn't all that special on its own, what made this place unique was that the environment on both sides was different.
A river called Soul Sand River flowed through the middle, taking on properties of neither side of the valley. Throughout thousands of years of wars and battles, each grain of sand in the river is said to represent a soul that died on these slopes, and the water is the blood of the fallen.
Countless have died on these lands, and for good reason. The resources and minerals on these mountains are items that every Sect and power on the Continent desires. There were just a few slight problems to obtain them.
