Square Chamber~
You stand in a finished, square stone chamber.  The air is stale and

musty, the floor covered with a generous layer of dust.  A simple stone

stairway descends into the depths along the south wall, deep grooves worn

into its steps by the restless weight of ages and footsteps past.

Below the Worn Stair~
An ancient spiral staircase ends in a large stone chamber.  The dull

stone walls and floor seem to bend light in an unnatural manner, almost

as if the brightness were some sort of unwanted intruder here, where

nature long ago deemed it never to shine.

The Ruined Gate~
The ruisted remains of a great iron gate span the width of a cavern here. 

Once, the massive structure stretched from the east wall to the west,

completely dominating the flow of traffic through the area.  Much of the

gate is covered in rust and has been rendered unrecognizeable by the

passage of time, but a few jagged, leering iron figures remain, their

small forms carved into the twisted remains of the iron portcullis.

Domed Cavern~
The ceiling rises high overhead, stretching off into an impentrable,

looming darkness.  The air here seems less stale than in surrounding

areas, perhaps due to the open space above, or possibly due to the slight

movement of air resulting from the nearby intersection of passages.

Domed Cavern~
You are in a slight depression in the cavern floor.  Several stones have

been piled here, near the lowest point on the ground, and the ashes of a

not too old campfire show that someone, or some thing, paused here not

too long ago, if but only for a short while.  Where they obtained fuel

for their fire, however, is not readily apparent.

Domed Cavern~
Looking up, you are unable to detect the ceiling of this cavern.  The air

is somewhat fresh, and definitely not quite as stuffy as other regions of

these caverns, thanks to the ventilation afforded by the high ceilings

and corridors leading off from this location.  The ground slopes downward

slightly toward the west.

Narrow Tunnel~
The tunnel snakes its way through slabs of rock here, pressing between

monstrous fissures produced by ancient movements of the earth.  To the

north, the ceiling rises quickly upwards into darkness, while off to the

easy you can see a small cavern, its floor covered with layer of fine,

dark sand.

The cavern floor underfoot is composed of a fine, dark sand which is

tightly-packed and, in places, a bit damp.  The air here is cool, while

Wide Tunnel~
The tunnel here is wide, and roughly oval in shape.  Its contours are

smooth, despite the telltale dust and grit which decry its advanced age. 

As you walk, you notice a slight groove emerge in the floor of a tunnel,

much as if a path had been worn into the very rock over the course of

time.  It begins very faintly, but becomes more clearly discernable as

it moves east from here.

you can see that the lowest part of this rather large cavern is off to

the east of here.

The floor of the cavern dips here, until you stand at the lowest point in

this great underground chamber.  In all directions, the ground rises up

in varying degrees of steepness, following the odd natural contours of

the cavern, created long ago by the primal forces.  The air is cool, and

still, though you sense movement in the impenetrable darkness, far

Bottom of Dark Shaft~
A dark shaft in the ceiling yawns overhead, looming above a rather large

platform.  To one side, several large stone markers protrude from the

cavern floor, with a single lever embedded in the largest of the markers. 

The whole apparatus, with its attendant pulleys and strange components,

gives off an air of great age.

The Concourse - Grooved Road~
A deep groove, nearly a foot deep in places, cuts across the concourse. 

The result of ages of restless feet, it leads straight east and west,

following a confident, purposeful line.  You spy smaller grooves leading

off to the north and south.

path indicated by the depression

seems to mark a byway of no little importance which crosses this great

concourse.

Beneath a Dark Shaft~
You stand beneath a dark shaft which rises straight into the rock

overhead.  There seems to be no ready means of coonveyance, save for a

few crumbled bits of rope, wood and stone - most likely the remains of

some ancient apparatus, now bowed low by the passage of time.
