Ritual Chasm

Deep within the Shackle Mountains, the 12 orders of wizards send their hopefuls to be tested. Those who survive the unthinkable tests then bargain with extraplanar powers, in places such as this. This place, a seemingly bottomless chasm, is known only to the order of Arl, masters of light and fire. It is here, where the barrier between the material plane and the plane of fire is thin, where initiates make their deals, exchanging service for long life and magical power.
