The Canyon Rim Mines are mines in the Borderlands, located in the Kehjistan empire, close to Alcarnus.
Background[edit | edit source]
The mines were started some 400 years ago, and until recently have prospered under the guard of the Caldeum Dune Guard.
When Hakan II took over the Kehjistan throne from his father, Hakan I, he ordered the Dune Guard away from the area, leaving it in a state of dangerous chaos, from which people flee to the capital of Caldeum.
Besides dangerous animals and demonic monsters, the land is populated with tiny desert creatures, snakes and insects, that are less dangerous.
Game Level[edit | edit source]
