Pen Cannoc

Pen Cannoc sits on a promontory overlooking the Etircomb pass as it plunges from the Uchalion plateau into the Vlandian lowlands. Legends speak of the water-nymphs who live in springs that form in the cliffside, luring travellers and invaders to their deaths, except on those rare occasions when they fall in love with a hero and grant him victory and blessings. Certainly the people of this region have learned respect for the perils of the Etircomb, where a small misstep on slippery stone can cast one off a precipice into the gorge below.
