The entrance to the Abyss was located at the peak of a towering mountain in the central forbidden area of the Flame Spider Kingdom.
It was said to be a naturally formed pit that extended 10,000 meters underground, where the Flame Spider hoarded all the Source Stone they earned from trading.
The ultimate goal of the Flame Spider Kingdom was to one day fill the pit.
The Abyss was a crucial area of the kingdom. Retired Old Spider Kings resided on the mountain, and the higher their status, the higher the location of their cave dwellings.
A circular river demarcated the forbidden area's boundaries. Stone bridges, built using Earth System Abilities, crossed it and were guarded by Spider Kings. Flame Spiders below King-Level were not allowed to cross the bridge without permission.

It was a long journey; it had taken most of the day to reach their destination.
Spider King Spurge, leading White Ivy and Column Spotted, arrived at the foot of the mountain.
