Lore
500 years ago it was here where Aila and Solovei with Alia's help subdued and sealed the Scourge of Endless Decay with a sealing array. Since then the area became a hotspot for Wild Hunt activity leading the Lightkeepers to establish the Cliffwatch Camp to keep an eye on the situation.
Three years before the present there was a surge in Wild Hunt activity that caused a great catastrophe leading to many deaths of Lightkeepers and civilians. Since then the Cliffwatch Camp was rebuild and the fight against the Wild Hunt continued.[1]
