This area is located at the eastern edge of Witherings. To the north lies Void, the south Grove of Umbra, and to the West Cities of Intuition. It is home to some of the most unique natural structures on all of Atys on of which is the Big Hand. The Big Hand looks like a hand reaching out of Atys towards the sky. Many homins have created tales about the Big Hand. Some Zoraï believe it is the hand of Ma-Duk, some believe it's the hand of Jena reaching for the stars, and some even believe it's the hand of the great dragon trapped there by the Karavan as it was looking to escape back into the sky. However most simply believe it's just an odd occurrence in the geology of Atys. Another unique geographical structure of the area is the great boulder. Many homins climb to the top of this structure to enjoy a view that can not be matched in any other part of Witherings. It is not hard to imagine the Zoraï ancestors seeing the first Kitin of the Swarming from this vantage point. Sub regions of this area include Palm Valley (located in what would be the palm of the big hand), Maiden Pond, Fowling Lake, Slavenhurst (named so due to the large amount of slaveni there), and Great Boulder Tunnel.
