Shadow Gorge

Shadow Gorge separates the Dark Step cliff in the middle. It is the only way through Low Valley to the High Valley. It is traversed by a river and a path by its banks.

The granite sides of the Gorge are 30 paces apart, the canyon is serpentine and crampy. The overhead icy rim above (accessible from the High Valley), curving salients and narrow bends were ideal sites for an ambush.

The road leads to a steep side gulch that quickly climbed out of Gorge, and into the broad-bottomed High Valley.

Cassius led the Brass Axe Company through the Gorge to see if the galok had et up an ambush, but they passed safely. Pendaran waited for them outside.
