The Rift

The Rift is located past Drake's Shrine which is at the top of Aenatumgana. The Rift is a magical location -- a tear in dimensional space that was designed to contain the Vvrael. There are rumors of numerous strange things inside The Rift. Notably, there was a mechanical beast with lights for eyes that zooms past every once in a while (which is likely a modern car). Also on the fifth plane was a location known as the Heart of The Rift, which is a large, irregularly-beating heart infested with worms.

Landmarks and other information

(I know there is some information regarding getting out of the rift and carrying silver, but I don't know the details. Can someone enter that here?)

The air inside the Scatter is very cold and has a chance to injure occupants and leave an ice patch:

The temperature plummets precipitously, until every breath sits in your lungs like a block of ice. The chill wind ravages 's flesh!
 ... 10 points of damage!
 Person looks as if a hot foot would feel good about now!
The chill wind ravages 's flesh!
 ... 10 points of damage!
 Ouch! What a stiff neck.
 He is stunned!

A sudden wave of intense cold gnaws at your flesh!
 ... 5 points of damage!
 Chilly blast to the head. Where is that cap Mom knitted for you!?

A frigid mist gathers around you and quickly spreads to cover much of the surrounding room. When the mist dissipates, you notice the floor has become an uninterrupted slick surface stretching in all directions. > The ice patch melts away.
