Crater was once a sprawling town of skilled artisans called Sophion, located in the north western region of the Dalelands of Zyrin. However, during a rare feud between two gods, a single strike to the ground left the town in ruins and only few survived the explosion. In the wake of this grueling punch, only the very outskirts of the town remained, the center turned into a gargantuan gaping crater, hence its name. With little to no help or even apology from the guilty god, the survivors were left to their own devices.

Being their home and in no condition to move, construction was set underway to transform their ill-fated predicament into acceptable living conditions. A spiralling path was paved to go down along the outer rim of the crater itself. As a redeeming stroke of luck, some valuable minerals and ores were found in the earth below, as housings were built into the sides of the crater along the path, dug out and supported by wooden pillars. Thus, the town of Crater came to be.
