The walls of this underground cavern have been hewn out of the earth.

The surface of the walls has been blasted by some fierce flame, and is

permanently scorched black. An unnatural quiet settles over the area

like a blanket, muffling sounds and sending a chill up your spine. To

to the southwest, a cramped hole angles downwards into a steep

passage. Although it is difficult to see down the hole, it seems that

it might be hard, if not impossible, to climb back up.
