The Unwound, The Fell, Mistwaves. What lies beyond The Wall has many names given to it by various cultures, Asken and foreign alike. The one thing that the different name-givers appear to have in common is that none of them seem to know what exactly lies there.
While numerous expeditions have been launched into The Unwound, few ever return. Those who do return are branded liars for their conflicting accounts and recollections.
One of the most famous expeditions was led by Minister Gel Halzhaan's son Seshtep in the fourth age where he, accompanied by a group of fifty adventurers, attempted to climb the monolithic structure and gaze beyond. When none of the fifty-one were ever heard from again, Minister Gel campaigned for further expeditions to be outlawed.
While the law was reppealed at the beginning of the fifth age, few still chose to follow the clarion call from the unknown.
