Zone Details

Inspirational Images:

Located in Darsha, the Gusting Cavern is a vast, mysterious cave system that gets its name from the noisy drafts that flow through it from crevices in its ceiling. Filled with cramped tunnels and sudden drop-offs, the Gusting Cavern is no place for inexperienced ketucari.

Subzones

These subzones may be claimed by packs!

Twilight Hollow

The region of the Gusting Caverns that is closest to the entrance, this area is the lightest part of the cavern during the day. Slippery, rough-cut stairs lead down to a large cavern that is still capable of supporting greenery. Water runs down the cavern walls in some areas.

Whirlwind Chasm

Separating the Twilight Hollow from the rest of the cavern, Whirlwind Chasm is the reason many adventurers don't make it very far. In order to cross, individuals must jump across stone columns that rise up from the cave floor. If the wide space between the columns wasn't enough of a deterrent, adventurers must also combat the gusts of wind that are strong enough to knock someone off their feet and to their deaths. However, a few clever cavers have found a hidden path that leads down to the cave floor, where crossing is much less dangerous.

Larval Coil

This section of the cavern is the main territory of its grub population. Not all of them have been corrupted by Mumotsu, and feed peacefully on the banukel that is abundant here. This area is fairly easy to navigate.

Bluerock Pool

A lake within the cavern that is fed by a waterfall from above. Harmless, bioluminescent bacteria cause the lake to have a faint blue glow.

Ruins of An'Terunku

This large cavern is accessible through a narrow passage from within the Gusting Cavern as well as from an underwater passage from the sea. The interior has been carved to look like one of Anti's temples, even down to the intricate designs on the rock columns. An'Terunku served as Anti's prison prior to the Machine War. It was intended to hold him for eternity, but Asli freed him in return for his help defeating Aterrin. Grooves can still be seen on the cavern floor where Anti spent countless hours pacing while dragging massive enchanted chains.

Domain Guardian: mumotsu

Mumotsu's appearance is far from deceptive-- her attitude is every bit as nasty as she looks. She spends most of her time resting in the deepest parts of the cavern, but if she is awoken for any reason she will attack with a vengeance. When angry, she is frighteningly quick and will even climb walls to catch her quarry.
