Cavea Caverna
Loosely translating as "Hollow Place Cave," Cavea Caverna is the general term used for most all of the caves, caverns and catacombs that can be found throughout the state of Montis. The under-mountain rooms and passages come in many shapes, sizes, lengths, styles, depths and heights, an almost totally unmapped underground maze. While those places closer to the surface tend to be empty except for the usual wild critters, including hibernating bears in the winter, strange things are said to lurk, growing only stranger the deeper you venture into Montis' heart. What these things are, no one knows for sure, only that those who might have explained either didn't return, or didn't live, to tell the tale. On a happier note, there are plenty of natural wonders you're likely to stumble across on your journey through the deeps: Underground rivers, waterfalls, lakes, seas, streams and springs; Glittering veins of ore and sometimes even precious stones; Pillar-like stalactites and stalagmites; Underground gardens of lichen, algae, fungus, and other lifeforms preferring dark, damp places; And many other stunning phenomenons. Once again, though, mind your step in the deeps...
