## History

Abyssal Loch has been a unique part of Emerald Abyss—there are barely any trees here. The trees found here are not similar to those found elsewhere in the subregion. There are several myths regarding this massive lake adjacent area.

In 468 LV, the Freelancer was on a quest of Finding Old Friends. The lancer was given the guidance from Owen Corley to find ursix meat here. After fighting Scars and two ursix, the meat was collected and taken to be given to Princess Zhim at her hideout.

Later the same year, the Freelancer also helped Brin find the reason why scars were trying to use a Doomsday Relic. It was at Abyssal Loch that Damaris the Escari was defeated after it was coerced into revealing the information of this Shaper relic.

During the Season of Skulls Festival, like each year, the Freelancers took upon themselves to enter the Somber Halls to clear out the corruption. The entrance to these caves was only accessible by diving into the Abyssal Loch.

## Geography and Layout

Abyssal Loch contains a series of submerged Shaper Ring-like structures under several deep water lakes, interconnected at various locations. These lakes are abundant in bioluminescent plants and animals. On the surface, there is an open area with minor fauna and decaying tree trunks.

Around the lake are three Shaper Tunnels connecting this lake to Monument Watch, High Road, and Great Falls Canyon subregions.
