(Deadline) Originally known as the 'Black Swamp of the Damned,' this place is now known as the 'River of Eternal Woe,' and even as the 'River Styx,' for it is a River of Death that flows throughout the entirety of the Enigmas and serves as the testing and proving ground for the deceased Zeros in order to reclaim their lives. A land that was once prosperous in agriculture and produce, it was the first of Arcadia's lands to be smitten by the Insanity's unrelenting hand. The explosion of the Cherub Bomb, equivalent to a H-bomb of the highest caliber, wiped away all inhabitants of the land. The farmers, their cattle, their crops; all life was wiped away, and all that was left in its place was a single thin river. This river weaves its way through two worlds, carrying with it all the pain, sadness and strife of all connected, collecting into tears that feed this endless stream. It is said that the spirits of the lost shyly shed their tears eternally, creating waterfalls that rise to the heavens, as though they are the reflections in the river's image, when in truth the one standing atop is simply among another world. The spirits low moans and gentle cries are always heard subtly. All who are damned to swim in this river will never know happiness again. The spirits of Taurus and Aries, who have gone mad by the hand of Insanity, roam this land, torturing poor, unfortunate souls and harvesting their tears for their sustanence. A Zero is meant to travel down this river and to the base of Mt. Mortis, where they will proceed to climb the rigorous mountain and take its trials.
