A look around Ænâ Baqo Gûchya has something terribly wrong with it. It’s impossible to put one’s finger on, but something is horribly wrong.

Perhaps it’s the overcast sky which seemed to creep out of nowhere, or the distant howling of wolves. Maybe it’s everything together. Regardless, you do not feel it would be wise to remain in Ænâ Baqo Gûchya long.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century Loch Chandra began to boil, and released a thick toxic cloud from beneath its waters which brought great calamity to the entire nation, killing every person and animal in its path which could not escape the cloud. Oddly, the plants of the region flourished in the years after the disaster. The disaster brought an end to people, livestock, and buildings. The disaster is referred to as the Terror Wind.
