Goldchasm
Goldchasm is a 15-mile narrow stretch of the Adri Forest where rocky chasms cleave hundreds of feet below the forest floor. Cave complexes honeycomb some of the rifts. This is dangerous terrain, because the chasms appear to shift, closing and reforming, sometimes at a rate fast enough to be visible to the onlooker. It is said that powerful earth elementals, maybe dao, live far below these rifts, and some who have ventured here say the deeper caves show signs of svirfneblin activity. There even might be passageways to the Underoerth within the area.
Goldchasm is so named because there have been discoveries of veins of that metal here, and a few moonstone and chrysoberyl deposits in the bargain. Few try to recover these valuables, however. Mining is impossible because of the shifting structure of the chasms and caves, and the dangers of entrapment underground are all too real. As a result, monsters and dangerous animals -- even worgs -- prowl the area, which is devoid of forester settlements.
