Chasm Sanctuary Horse Farm

5 miles per square grid

•  Property: Chasm Sanctuary;  An Elemental Pocket Realm where he keeps and raises horses with his best friend Avery. Also has a small herd of milk sheep, chickens and geese. They have plans to establish a small community here with friends and family.  The farm has rolling meadows, a large pasture, several large forests, a small log and stone house on the southern edge of the isle, a large stable, creek, river, fair sized lake with a cabin, a mountain range along the northern edge and all manner of beautiful landscape features. Many springs in the mountains feed tributaries and Pearling Springs and Cascades Rivers. There are various wild animals here that he either tamed after healing or which already inhabited the area when it was gifted to him. The area was created by his friend Avery who gave him the realm as a gift. The floating island is approximately fifty miles across in all directions give or take and around the edges is just a huge drop off with a wall of rock all the way around its perimeter with just a few gaps.  His small two story house sits at the very southern brink of the plane and at the back of his house is a stone floored Loggia style Balcony that overlooks the planar chasm of elements called the grotto of Siaph far below. Val calls the cabin Chasm Overlook.  Below is a fantastic view of the titanic cave's lower grotto, including the Plane of Verdure, Earth, and it's isles of the elements and sea. Other floating islands and even floating kingdoms can be seen in the distance.  The mountains to the north close off the northern edge unless one goes over the mountains to the Perilous Slopes on the other side. The Pocket Realm of Siaph which the Chasm Sanctuary is a part of is within a magnificently titanic cave within the elemental planes where they all converge and yet the grotto and floating isle are in Acheron at the same time. Elements of the planes light the grotto with one of its many suns, two of its moons, and its starry firmament. 

     This realm can be reached by any elemental or planar gateways linked to it.
