Ginningagap has been a mystery since the first days of our exodus into Subterrainia. It is an entirely dark area of sea that resides below what is the Overworld Pacific Ocean.

There is a ring of pyrotech houses forming a ring around the Gap. This is what the Overworlders think is the Ring of Fire--the volcanic ring that they beleive is caused by platal shifting.
We keep them ignorant and happy, we continue in peace.

There have been many expeditions into the chasm here, but none have returned. Being perpetually dark could have caused navigational problems for early ships, but more superstitious folk beleive that there is some monstrosity residing there, eating them all--this of course, is a very old-world view. It is, though, how we developed out holiday, Ginninghod.

There was a tale begun by the earliest of us that a great and wise leader sacrificed himself to contain the void in the area it now inhabits (he is also supposedly responsible for developing the pyrotech ideas). His name was Ghod, but we shortened it to Hod, and that is also how we developed the role of Hod in our geovernmental system. Every February ninth, we celebrate Ginninghod by putting on shows and re-enactments of the ferocious battle between Ghod and the monster within the Void.

Currently, thanks to the newly developed techniques of Tiphereth Tesliah, we have stationed a pyrotech house as far in as Overworld Hawaii. We have a team of specialists there running tests on the properties of the gaping hole. Hopefully we find the truth of Ginningagap.
