This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now.
