The Valley climbs upward with sheer rock cliffs each side and the river Eisme dominates the valley. The Strata the length of the valley is carved with some ten thousand caves that are unreachable by any but birds - but some how you must find a way in to each of them. The Vedic of the Monastery tells you that you will be facing an evil force which once dominated the valley centuries ago but was almost destroyed - driven back into these high caves. it will be your task to explore and map the caves - and gather up their unholy works that the Monastery may see to their destruction.
Cave Descriptions: Cave groupings are up to ten levels - each level consisting of up to 13 chambers all linked by a single internal shaft - and the top levels of monasteries are a single prayer chamber. Some caves are three thousand years old - others seven hundred. The oldest seem to be burial chambers for the dead - others Monasteries filled with manuscripts upward of ten thousand manuscripts whose value is more than the fine gold powder inks on the illuminations of each page. Some caves are exposed to the cliff face with narrow openings and others not. Temples conceal Gold Idols of pagan Gods.
The Sheer rock is almost impossible to climb, even for the most skilled climber as it crumbles beneath the climbers weight.
