1st Layer

The Edge of the Abyss is the 1st layer of the Abyss. Its composition is fairly tame compared to the deeper, more alien levels. The 1st layer is the only part of the Abyss that could be considered, in some form, "safe".

Description
The 1st layer is the most shallow section of the Abyss, right below the town of Orth. A large gondola was built at approximately 100 meters below the surface to quicken the descent into the Abyss, which goes down 600 meters to what Riko presumed to be the Stone Ark, a rocky protrusion at the same depth.

The environment does not really change, and wildlife consists of mostly harmless animals; though occasionally predators from the 2nd or 3rd layers might ascend in search of food. There are not many treasures nor Relics either, but there is a considerable number of Praying Skeletons.

Since its danger level is mild, inexperienced Delvers, such as Red Whistle Delvers, often go down into the 1st layer to search for Artifacts.

It was here that Reg was found unconscious by Riko after using his Incinerator to save Riko from a displaced Crimson Splitjaw. Riko then took Reg back to the orphanage.
