There is a hole in the west wall which is evidently not part of the original design, and slippery steps have been built in one wall, which lead up. ~ 121 ad 1 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 12111 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 12113 S #12113 Cavern~ This is a large, open space, apparently used for ceremonies of some sort. Purple tapestries are hung in alcoves in the walls of the cavern and chains are draped between stalactites handing from the ceiling. A glorified altar is on a raised platform east of here and stairs through an archway to the north lead up to a viewing gallery. Once upon a time, there was a grating covering up a pit in the center of the room, but it has been ripped off its hinges and is missing.

It's enough to blind someone given enough time. The actual source of the light seems to be behind the walls, but the mechanism is beyond human intelligence. There are passages north, east, south, and west, and opening in the ceiling with no apparent way to navigate short of flying. ~ 121 d 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 12136 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 12139 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 12134 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 12135 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 12141 S #12141 Vertical Tube~ This a thin tunnel with just enough room for one person to fit laterally.

There is another peak, quite jagged, to the southwest, and just to the south is a glacier bounded by a ridge. To the distant south is a forest. West of here is a valley with two towers sticking out. North are more mountains, hardly distinguishable from each other. There is a tall spire of rock here, which extends even higher up in the air. It is possible to climb, but looks risky. There is an opening in the mountain which leads down, as well. ~ 121 0 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 12145 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 12143 S #12145 Spire~ This is a point at the very tip of a thin shaft of rock. There is no place here that looks safe - all spots would threaten a fall off the mountain. The smoother mountaintop below looks much more safe. To the west, fluffy clouds float by. One of them looks fairly solid....nah, couldn't be! ~ 121 0 5 D3 There is a cloud there that doesn't seem to move. ~ ~ 0 -1 9101 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 12144 S #12150 Secret Passage~ This narrow hallway extends down to the north at a very precipitous angle, and a warm blast of heat rises up from that direction.

The water looks remarkably clear and healthy, which may be a result of the impurities being boiled out. A passage leads out to the west. ~ 121 ad 3 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 12151 S #12162 East Side Of Cavern~ It is very hot in here, a fact which could be explained by the hot springs and bubbling pools of lava in here. A stone passage leads away to the east. The cavern extends west, where the floor gives way and an occasional flame appears. ~ 121 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 12151 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 12163 S #12163 Over The Lava Pool~ Below this spot is a descending chasm into the depths of the earth where lava gurgles up constantly, and fires spark themselves into a brief, yet dramatically fierce, existance. There is a strong smell of sulfur here. There are safe places to walk to the west and east, in addition to a ledge in the north wall of the cavern. ~ 121 ad 8 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 12165 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 12162 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 12166 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 12164 S #12164 The Lava Pool~ Lava gurgles up in wave after wave, the retching of the earth. It then slides down the rough and creased walls, not quite hardening as it reaches into the warmth of the pool, bubbling and burning up the precious oxygen. Flames flicker up and around randomly, with wild abandon, careless of life. ~ 121 ad 8 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 12163 S #12165 Ledge Over The Lava Pool~ This little place seems to be built for someone who normally prefers to fly rather than stand, as there is hardly any place to rest any feet, or other appendages. ~ 121 ad 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 12163 S #12166 West Side Of Cavern~ The walls of the cavern here are rough, and the ceiling is low, so that most people would have to bend over some while standing. There doesn't seem to be any way out except over the lava pool to the east. ~ 121 ad 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 12163 S $~
