About Caverns
Game dataOnce a bustling salt mine, these caverns now lie partially consumed by the plague. When war erupted, many sought refuge within these stony halls, but few of those who entered would ever see daylight again. The walls echo with silence, broken only by the distant drip of tainted water and the faint, restless stirrings of what remains. To step inside is to wander a labyrinth of shadows where the gloomy past clings to every stone.
