Skycut Mesa

The largest formation of its kind in Orden, Skycut Mesa is where Axiom Beck, the seat of Getori power is located.

Geography

Skycut Mesa is a large flat mesa in the center of Orden. It juts more than a mile up from the surrounding desert, and measures more than 400 square miles across. The cliffs are made of light, weather-smoothed sandstone, occasionally biseected by huge vertical veins of obsidian, stretching from the base of the mesa to its peak like huge black geysers.
The surface of the mesa has been largely irrigated using the natural aquifer that wells up beneath it, and as such is covered in lush farmland and grassy plains.
The steep cliffs of the mesa are pockmarked with small round holes, the nests of the indigenous Bluebolt Raptors .
Due to the territorial Raptors and the lack of any other access, the denizens of Orden long ago carved several tunnels into the sides of the mesa which act as access to the summit.

Fauna & Flora

The cliffs are the natural habitat of the Bluebolt Raptors.

Natural Resources

Obsidian can be harvested from the sheer cliffs surrounding the mesa.
Water is plentiful due to an underground aquifer and so the soil can sustain crop growth.
