Golben, also colloquially called the Golben Pit or simply the Pit,is a destroyed blemish of land located approximately thirteen miles northwest of Myrkentown. Golben currently bears no resemblance to the inhabited town it once was, for all that remains is a circular crater in the soil two miles in diameter.
Appearance
Upon approach, the Golben Pit is unmistakable for anything but the oddity it is: the crater is perfectly round and its edges are treacherous, as if a massive helping of the earth had been scooped out of the land by divine hands. Standing upon its edge merits a view of its half-mile depths, where mists -- regularly caused by the convection of air colliding within the uninhabited bowl -- linger like a veil over the expanse. On days with mild weather, observers can see the labyrinthine features that comprise the interior of the crater: A vast maze of hedgerows carve confusing paths on the soil; the rubble of stone and wood edifices that once stood on the earth above thrust up like bones from the land; occasionally, a flicker of mirrors both broken and whole gleam to catch the curious eye.
