Equatorial ley line

The equatorial ley line was a part of the Weave that held the planet of Echelon together. It ran across the entire circumference of the planet at its equator, except where it was "bent" around the Column. It was one of the strongest ley lines that existed, and for millennia its dangerous effects prevented travel or communication between the northern and southern hemispheres. Storms, both arcane and natural, formed easily and rapidly along the equatorial, making air or sea travel prohibitively dangerous.
