Djamonkin Crater, known to locals as Djamonkin Augh, (meaning "Big Man's Water"), was the human name for a location on Earth in approximately 100,000 BCE.[1] The crater was flooded, with a small island in the center. In the center of the island was a small mountain.[2] The waters surrounding the island were populated by merse, which were likely transplanted there from their homeworld by the Librarian.[3] The island itself was uninhabited, but in the center was located a Forerunner Cryptum belonging to the Didact.[4] The Cryptum had been moved there by the Librarian as part of her elaborate plan to reunite with her husband. The Librarian also hid a design seed for a ship in the crater's central peak; this ship was later used by the Didact to escape. The artifact site was surrounded by a baffler and a wide variety of traps, probably to discourage curious humans.[5]
Riser's family's geas, imposed by the Librarian as part of her plan, made them spend many generations trying to penetrate the traps and reach the area inside.[6] Around 100,000 BCE, however, it was visited by Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, along with Chakas and Riser. With their help, he breached the baffler and found the Didact's Cryptum within.[4]
