Kara-Tur

Standing pillars, carved by the wind and time into
 fantastic and almost impossible shapes, are the natural
monument we call the Rocks of Yengso. There are
exactly 124 of these natural pillars, crowded together
and standing about 70 feet high. This is a holy place,
frequented by shukenja and monks in need of contemplation.
It is said that the fifth emperor of the Lui
Dynasty, Wai Chu Doang, used to come to these stones
and contemplate his problems in their shadows. Some
people believe they whisper truths to those who can
sit long enough to gain understanding, and that these
towering rocks were once a mighty army that dared
to challenge the Celestial Heavens and were turned to
stone by the gods, wrath.
