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 the stone and wood edifices that once stood on the earth above reach up out of the soil like half-excavated bones; occasionally, a flicker of mirrors both broken and whole gleam to catch the curious eye.
There are no currently-known inhabitants of Golben; thus, it bears no economy, merits no trade, and exists only as a reminder of the mysterious powers employed in its creation.
