Towe Gorge

Towe Gorge is a gorge located near the eastern edge of the territory claimed by the Moyo Hodari Pride. It is avoided by most due to the danger of falling down its steep sides.

Appearance
Towe Gorge is a deep gorge with steep, rough walls made mostly of light reddish-brown claystone. The gorge is long and tapers sharply at either end. Several brown, twisting plants have managed to survive by growing out of crevices on either side of the gorge. At the bottom of the deep chasm, about six inches of sluggish, sediment-saturated water are usually present. This amount decreases and increases depending on the amount of rainfall. When the water is high, the gorge is especially dangerous due to the dead plant parts and fallen pieces of claystone that, during the rainy season, are churned up by the water.

Inhabitants
Rumors that the Towe Gorge is completely uninhabited are false. A pair of bat hawks have a nest built on a dry, brittle plant protruding from one of the gorge walls. And near the back on a deep crack, just wide enough to admit a cheetah or an animal of similar size, a pair of eyes can sometimes be seen.
