Kaschan Trench

The Kaschan Trench was located in the Tiste Edur lands of northwestern Lether. It was about one night's walk north of the Hiroth village of Hannan Mosag. The jagged trench ran roughly east-west starting just south of Hasana Inlet and continuing for a day and a half's walk east.Midnight Tides, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.112-114
It was a vast, sheer-sided gorge cut into the bedrock about two hundred paces across at its widest. Water streamed down its side in places. The trench's top was scattered with boulders and mangled, sickened trees.Midnight Tides, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.114
The Tiste Edur built a cairn of stones on the gorge's edge concealing a knotted rope with which they could descend into the trench's depths. At the bottom of the trench, visibility was low and mossy boulders, dead branches, and flowing water made footing treacherous. Small, pallid, hairless rodents lived among the rocks.
The trench was the location of the Stone Bowl, a Kaschan site kept secret by the few Tiste Edur who were aware of it.Midnight Tides, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.112-114
==In Midnight Tides==
After Hannan Mosag used some unknown power to destroy the Letherii sailors of Calach Bay, Uruth Sengar sent her sons Trull, Fear, and Rhulad to the Stone Bowl. As Weapons Master, Fear was the only one of the brothers aware of its location. He revealed the hidden rope at the gorge's edge and guided his brothers down the side of the trench.Midnight Tides, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.112-119
