The Mariana Gorge is a deep ravine on Terra. In the era prior to the Age of Strife, this canyon, then known as the Mariana Trench, was at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and was the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. However, during the wars that engulfed the planet during the Age of Strife, much of the planet's oceans boiled away, revealing significant portions of the Gorge. In time an atheistic civilization arose along the walls of the Gorge that lasted several thousand years. By the time of the Great Crusade, this civilization had vanished, but left behind mile-high statues of its kings.
