The Pillars of the Gods

"The Pillars of the Gods are reserved for the gods my child, set your eyes upon foreign shores of great beauty and bounty, not that wasteland of certain death"  a Razihan Father councils his daughter before she leaves to become an explorer

The Pillars of the Gods is the name for a large mountain range in the far Southeast of the continent of Calradia. the name of this place comes from an old desert folk legend that claims that the gods live on the other side of this massive barrier, and that any who successfully cross would be gifted a place in the Astral Sea as a Saint. 
The area is filled with large pillars of sandy rock that rage from 60-1000ft tall, creating a veritable maze of rock. Though it is possible to traverse the area by winding through the gaps between the pillars, it is extremely dangerous. There are no known valuable resources located within the maze, and a traveler will be at constant risk of being hit by falling rocks and eaten by ravenous predators. The area is also a nexus of the winds of magic, and the winds flow freely between the pillars. One would think that a powerful magic user could thus use this power to traverse the area, but winds of magic storms here cause concentrated gusts of magic to fly through the pillars at extreme speeds. Any magical conduit caught in such a gust is immediately destroyed, and rendered down to magical dust that is then blown off into the sky. 
Suffice to say, none tries to get through anymore.
