The Abyss Gate

At the northern edge of the Drakelands rises the Abyss Gate, a colossal seal shaped by Eldian scholars and Turoc artisans to hold Drako within the Abyss. The crater it guards is no ordinary wound in the land. Space twists upon itself there, and time stutters like a failing breath. The gate is wrapped in ancient sigils that pull and bind matter, bending it until a heavy mist bleeds into the air. Scholars call it an atomic regeneration field, though none agree on how it sustains itself. To most, the gate is an unbroken wall, yet rumors persist of Thurium shards from elder dragons that might disturb the seal long enough to rouse what sleeps below.

"It felt like the stone was breathing. Each step closer, a weight crawled down my spine. There was a presence here, older than anything I’d known, pulling at me, as if my very soul was about to be swallowed. This is no ordinary gate. Our ancestors sealed something here, and I fear it was never meant to be touched again."
