The Black Pits

The Black Pits-e3c45186

In this deep high-canopy jungle, the ground gives way to large cavernous hollows underneath the roots, big enough to contain entire villages, the swampwater draining slowly into them and down dark paths down the earth. Strange mushrooms and moss grow down all along the columns and stalactites, glowing green and exuding a mystical aura. Mist and shadows cling to the corners down here, and the mind strains to see clearly, leading some to suspect that Ulgu might be leaking into this space.

And it gets worse. Surviving scouts tell of strange metaliths slowly stalking the caverns, their very shadows catching those caught underneath and sending them elsewhere in this horrible maze… a curious property indeed. And they speak of a daemonic presence, a huge eye that peers of out of the darkness and seeks to consume their souls, capable of blinking in and out of existence.
