The execution cliffs adjacent to Kaspion, where Kasper's "traitors" were thrown to their deaths. The cliffs are honeycombed with the broken bodies of victims—bones wedged in crevices, skulls grinning from alcoves. The ghosts here are angrier than those in Kaspion proper, their deaths more violent and more conscious.

Paradoxically, Cliffdrop has become a pilgrimage site. Death-cults send adherents to commune with the concentrated spiritual energy. Grieving families come to speak with ancestors (any ancestors—the ghosts are not picky about who they answer). Necromancers treat it as a training ground. The merchant-kings maintain a small guard post at the cliff-top, officially to prevent entry, actually to collect informal fees from pilgrims.
