The Gloom is a strip of land, approximately two thousand miles from east to west and three miles wide at its widest north-south dimension. It lies between the Wall of Night to the north and Enedzeram to the south. It is called The Gloom because of its dominant feature -- it never receives direct sunlight. Due to the height of the Wall and its location in the far south of Ardrana, the sun never rises high enough in the sky to be seen above the Wall of Night.
