Coastal Cave (Quarrioc I)
Quarrioc
By the shores of the sea there lies a cave. It is not, as some other caves, an empty thing or home to only cobwebs and crabs. It is a twisting network of salt-perfumed grottos and oozing galleries, a petty labyrinth. Within this cave dwell comfortable hermits and hidden cretins, in equal measure. Should you venture in, keep your wits about you and know where you’re going, lest you meet an unwanted surprise…

Whether tempestuous or tranquil, the seas of the Southern coast of Haven Isle hold a bounty of knowledge for those who would listen. Tales are told on the wind of ages come and gone, of mighty empires risen and fallen, and of the flora and fauna who dwell in their myriads upon the shores and in the caves.

Mirrormourn, a fantasy setting by Esper the Bard, is a world of mysteries, an inversion of many common tropes, and a land in motion. Old wars between elves and giants flare up again, with the giants' dwarven thralls and the elves' goblin allies caught in the fray. Despite this, the land, at its roots, is wild and its natural forces and old gods cannot be truly resisted. Thus is the state in which exists the southern coast of Haven Isle, the Cavernous Coast whose tales are told in this tome.
