Screaming winds whistle down the mountainside into the Gale Gorge. This craterous gorge is found in the center of a dense pine forest; its walls are treacherously steep with only a few scrubby plants and hearty pines clinging to its sides. The floor of the valley catches the wind and seems to hold it in its center - if you make it the bottom of the gorge, you simply can’t escape the sound of the wind. Those hell bent on making it to the bottom of the gorge will be rewarded by rich, loamy soil that is capable of growing rare herbs. The valley often blooms late into autumn and early winter thanks to its protected center.
