The Basin is the very top of the Fayran Mountain, a huge, deep scoop in the mountain. It has been many years since the volcano was last active, and it appears to be dormant now. The basin is overgrown with thick coniferous forest, most likely kept alive by the small bit of warmth that the walls of the basin provides. There is much prey in the basin, including elk and hares. It is a good hunting ground; and this is where the group that lives here lives in the spring, summer and early Fall, when it is warmer.
