The Shifting Fissures are a massive stretch of deep canyons where the bedrock moves with a slow, biological rhythm. Known as the lungs of the world, these stone walls expand and contract, creating ever-changing paths. Travelers must time their movements carefully to avoid being crushed. It is a mineral-rich wasteland that borders the deeper civilization of Hollow Hearth, serving as both a protective barrier and a deadly obstacle for all inhabitants.
