Originally scoured by glaciers during the Elder Days, tw types of karst formations, called stonements and stonefields, constituted two belts that separated the Anghiril Cut from mountain foothills to the north and south.The pass between the Anghiril Cut and the Ettenmoor was guarded by the citadel of Suk Skuthruga, while Angsûl brooded over it.
