An overview of Tory Ravine.

Description and Geography

Map of Tory Ravine.

Tory Ravine can be accessed on the southwest side of Belvast Island through the Mykeeness Cliffs. When entering it for the first time, regardless of your progression in the storyline, you will see a one-time cutscene related to Generation 24.

There are two moongates in the ravine, which are fallen pieces of Ladeca rather than the usual moon gate.

Landmarks

• The Decaying Swamp, murky, poisonous waters where the Shadow of Yggdrasil stands, is especially dangerous to unsuspecting travelers. A poisonous swamp lies above the vast ravine.
  • Standing in the Decaying Swamp ponds for three seconds inflicts Decaying Swamp Poisoning, which poisons characters for 250 damage per second for 10 seconds, and can render players unconscious.
    • The poison may be avoided either by using a Cravan Liquid dropped by the endemic Cravan, or by wearing equipment with Poison Immunity Equipment Combination Effects.
    • Note that acquiring Poison Immunity while already under the effects of Decaying Swamp Poisoning will not cancel the remaining duration, but using a Cravan Liquid will.
• Blackstone Beach, a black sanded, rocky area where gathering nodes may be found. Rough waves break unceasingly against the stones of this grim beach.
• The Magic Bridge, which Merlin creates during Generation 24's Turbulent Soul, links the northern part of Tory Ravine to the early areas.
  • If the player needs to access any of the areas beyond it, they will need to have completed this quest or find another player capable of sneaking them across who has.
• The Altar of Doubhca, a mysterious altar used by the members of the Order of the Black Moon. An ominous energy spreads from an ore growing out of the ground.
• The Door-engraved Cliff. A giant, antique door that looks to be sculpted from stone. It doesn't budge, even if you push with everything you've got.
• Tor Mor, located at the highest point of the ravine.
  • It remains inaccessible until the events of Generation 25.
• Crom Bás, a fortress standing high over the ravine, hiding dark secrets.
  • Players cannot access this location until the events of Waves Amidst the Calm.

History

According to some residents at the Commonwealth of Belvast, Tory Ravine was a frequently visited place until an unknown body washed up on shore. It is not known what species the body belonged to, only that it was not human. Ever since that incident, the people of Belvast stopped visiting and Tory Ravine became a heavily restricted area. The stream flowing from Tory Ravine to Scathach Beach seems to indicate that there may be an ominous presence there, most likely caused by the mysterious corpse.

During the events of generation 24, the Cursed Fleet can be seen in Blackstone Beach.

Generation 24: Ascension

The area turned out to have fallen under the control of the Order of the Black Moon, and the terrain was radically changed, to the point that it could hardly be called a 'ravine' any more. The land was artificially raised, and many traps were laid down by the Order to impede the Milletian and their party.

The Altar of Doubhca is the location from which Fodla and Sera were channeling the ritual for the falling moonstones on Erinn.

The Door-engraved Cliff is where the Incubus King made his lair, aiming to seal the powers of the Sluagh within him and make it his tomb. It currently has no purpose outside of the storyline.

Generation 25: Eclipse

Merlin and Etain open a path to Tor Mor, bridging it to the Altar of Doubhca.

Waves Amidst the Calm

The location of Crom Bás had been hidden from sight through camouflage magic; Folamh and Irusan deemed the cover unnessecary to keep once their plans were almost complete.

Trivia

• The island dedicated to Tor Mor remained undefined even after its release. This may have been caused in part by Tor Mor being on a different map, but also in order to prevent spoiling the players about its apperance too soon.
• The path leading to Tor Mor, unlike other areas, does not require any input from the player other than to head towards its direction.
