Roundstone Caves

This cave is found in the Roundstone Clan lands:

Earth Cave

The Earth Cave lies at the foot of Bear Hill. It is sacred to Ernalda and many special ceremonies take place there. Only women are allowed beyond the entrance cave into the large round inner cave. The caves are very deep and are full of twisting passages with stalactites and stalagmites. They are decorated with spiral patterns and ancient paintings of stories and myths. In one cave deep down which is hard to find and can only be reached by crawling is the oracle. Women who want to ask a question must find the cave alone. Here, in a small cave, sits an old woman dressed in black with a hooded face, on a stone chair. Anyone who wants to ask a question must make a sacrifice and pour the blood into the crack in the cave floor. It is said that this cave is in the otherworld and the woman is a goddess or a daemon. The woman answers questions in the form of a poem which sometimes the priestesses can interpret if the questioner can remember her words when she returns to the world above.
