Godsrage Plain

Steel Realms
Located on Ustermaya .

A wide bowed plain bordered by a stunted forest on the south and large river east as it comes out of the mountains. Nothing normal grows there. Only a single structure was ever built – a small walled keep that is nothing more than blasted ruins. The gods of darkness attacked this bastion, ultimately annihilating the magic structure to its foundations. The pieces of blood splattered rocks were scattered over the plain and even beyond; The occult energies and blood mixing to animate the pieces that prowl the entire valley. These have jagged corners and surfaces, rolled themselves and casting themselves from any position they can get to prey upon the living. Some bury themselves, and strike to cripple their target while others roll over them and grind them to a pulp.

The plain is filled with wound-like crevices, craters, and areas of blight. Every tree and small forest around it is frozen in time, mostly burned black. Parts of gods, demigods, monsters, and dissolute spirits dropped upon and soaked into the earth. The earth, air, and water were soaked in residual magicks of all sorts. For centuries afterward, all manner of monsters sprang from the plain nightly – running in all directions to ravage the forces of dark and light alike. It has only slowed down since – with several monstrous creatures springing forth every third night on average. The plain also excretes hideous mists and clouds full of necromantic magics that prowl the area of the “valley” for weeks at a time. This was the center of the first and largest ever GGod Storm, though many smaller ones continue to emanate from the area.

The bits and pieces of the horrific wounds suffered by these divine entities became the source for many magical items. None of the primary gods of the realms died from the multi-year battle, but many suffered grievous wounds that took centuries or millennium to heal. Millions of mortals died in the larger valley itself, the soil churned with their blood, bones, and viscera. Likewise the Godsrage Plain was the scene of a hundred thousand deaths, and a battle in which the post powerful or mortals directly fought the Unholy Trio with a multitude of powerful magic that has vanished since. It was the carnage on the Godsrage Plain in The Valley of Sighs that eventually forced the creation of the Godspeak Accord.

If ever there was another name for the place, it is not recorded in popular lore.
