Three massive craters punctuate the Dreamplains, remnants of an ancient cataclysm when objects fell from the sky in the distant past. Whether these were meteors, fragments of the Astral Plane, or something else entirely remains debated by scholars.
Predatak
The largest of the three craters, Predatak holds a deep lake of startlingly blue water that never freezes despite the temperatures. The crater walls rise steeply around the lake, creating a natural amphitheater. Something lives in the depths—the Zwaeron refuse to camp within sight of Predatak, and their stories speak of shapes moving beneath the surface on moonless nights.
The lake water has unusual properties. Those who drink it report their dreams becoming prophetic for several nights afterward—though the visions are often symbolic and difficult to interpret. Mages who study divination sometimes make pilgrimages here, though the journey is perilous.
Nisk
The smallest crater, Nisk, is dry—its bowl filled with frost-shattered stone rather than water. The crater floor is littered with fragments of a dark metalite that doesn't match any known ore. Some of these fragments are warm to the touch regardless of temperature, and a few have been recovered and traded south where artificers pay handsomely for them.
The Neth say Nisk is where a star fell and died. They leave offerings at the crater's rim—small carvings, braided grass, tokens of remembrance—though they won't explain who or what they're honoring.
Emtus
Emtus is the strangest of the three. The crater exists, unmistakably, but something about it resists perception. Travelers who approach find themselves walking past it, around it, their attention sliding away. Mapping expeditions have tried to chart its interior and returned with contradictory results—some claiming it's shallow and empty, others insisting it contains ruins, still others unable to remember reaching it at all.
Whatever fell at Emtus didn't just impact the ground. It may have impacted reality itself.
