Cascading down a rise in the southern edge of the Maw where the Suvan touches it, Stair Step Falls is a small river called Clearwater that flows out of the Falyndar Region to the sea in a series of stair steps down to the beach.
Other than its breathtaking beauty, Stair Step Falls is known for two things. First and foremost, big nuggets of gold have been found in its depths and washed up on the beach where the water spills across the accumulated sand. Both by excavating and panning, significant wealth can be had via seekers with the skill and patience to hunt for it.
Secondly, Stair Step Falls is known to turn up artifacts from pre-Valterrian Mizahar most notably the city of Pavena. Some of these artifacts consist of simple things like jewelry or silverware. Whole and partial ceramics and metal items have been found as well. After particularly high water events, even magical artifacts have been unearthed. No one seems to know where the Clearwater River is churning up these little tokens, but its definitely worthy of further investigation by the right individuals.
