The Estate at the Nameless Ravine was the mountain retreat of the late Immaculate monk, [[Chokhan Fifteenth Son Shatters the River]]. Upon his death, all rights and properties therein were deeded to his son, the Solar Exalt [[Nameless Ravine]].

The Estate of the Nameless Ravine is perched on a small, fertile plateau overlooking an old, majestic mountain river gorge. The ravine itself is home to a very old and venerable minor river-god, one who had long ago decided to spend Creation's remaining days in restful slumber. The river-god wished no-one to know his name, lest mortal worshippers disturb his sleep with supplication, a philosophy that fit quite nicely Chokan Fifteenth Son Shatters The River's Immaculate teachings.

Two types of tea are produced are grown at the estate; the first is a very common grade of tea that is sold in bulk to a local merchant for distribution. The second is a rare grade that only grown on the ravine's sheer cliff. This rarer tea is harvested by trained monkeys, and is ultimately sold as part of the high-end blended tea brand "Five-fold Monkey-Picked". In keeping with the Ravine God's wishes, the estate itself does not sell its teas under the estate's own name.

Five-fold Monkey-Picked is said to be the favored tea among many connoisseurs who consider themselves to be "in the know". It is further rumored that one of the foremost prophets and seers of the Immaculate Order insists on drinking that brand and no other.

Notable landmarks on the estate include:
* Chokhan XVSSR's calligraphy studio, an austere wooden building decorated with countless examples of the late monk' masterful brushwork
* A small altar of good fortune to travelers, which served as the site where [[An Oathsworn Circle]] was formally established
* The ravine itself, which echoes with the chittering cries of hundreds of trained monkeys
