Description:

A deep ravine in the heart of the city, with the lights of ultra-wealthy Rosedale glimmering along the brim. There can be hundreds of men there on a hot summer night. There are even a few in winter. The best place is at the bottom of the ravine -- follow well-used trails, and there are many side nooks and bushy cathedrals for worship of various kinds.
