The Chasm is a massive canyon to the northeast of New Eridu. It divides New Eridu from the ruins of Eridu, the Old Capital, and prevents Hollow Zero from expanding further.
Overview
The Chasm was created eleven years prior to the game, during the Hollow Zero disaster. In order to contain Hollow Zero, fourteen Shiyu Pillars along Eridu's southwest to northeast axis were detonated, creating a massive explosion. The explosion formed a large canyon that successfully reduced Hollow expansion, due to the canyon's lack of corruptible matter for Hollow Zero to convert into Etheric energy. However, by the time Hollow Zero's size and activity returned to normal levels, Eridu had been destroyed and the survivors had to rebuild New Eridu from the other side of the Chasm.[1]
A memorial monument is set up at the edge of the Chasm, lined by a protective fence. The monument commemorates all those who died in the Fall of the Old Capital, including Carole Arna and Hoshimi Miyabi's mother.[2]
