The Westin Cliffs are a formation at the edge of the Gamerstein Plateau, famous for having been created artificially by Ander Scoville, a powerful Madrigal who lived in the region and needed a good barrier to keep out the nomadic warriors of the Summer Lowlands.

History

The cliffs were first created probably around 2400 B.G.A.. Throughout the Mage Wars, they served as an important barrier between the two regions, allowing numerous powers to gain control of either side. A series of Mage Towers were built along the top, along with artificial reservoirs and a well-defined trade route. Though the border changed hands many times, armies were always forced to fight around it.

Golden Age

Since the cliffs were artificial in origin, geologists had long ignored the region, believing that "no useful scientific data could gathered there".
