Cave

The Cave is a general term for one of the many entrances to the monumental system of naturally occurring caverns deep below The Darkwood. This subterranean underworld is known to Bog Folk as Deep-Harvest. The Cave itself, specifically the namesake cavern, is connected to this region but is otherwise self-contained.

A Cave to Call My Own
The Cave has been inhabited by many over the course of its existence. Nearly all who had lodged there have perished within or fled for one reason or another, leaving their possessions behind for the next tenant. The Cave's most recent dweller was Richard Lemming, who made the space his home and modified it significantly to aid his work in bio-engineering.

That Tunnel of Mindless Thought, Hot to the Touch
Richard took advantage of the Cave's natural water springs and geothermal heat sources to power his genetic abominations. Namely, Richard coated the walls in a slurry of DNA which grew into a biological super-computer and powered Richard's experimentation for a number of months. With heat, water, and minerals, this super-computer was able to run almost indefinitely, although the heat it produced exhausted its creator.

After the Battle of the Cave, Richard flooded his home with Cancer Gas, making it completely inhospitable to nearly all forms of life, including The King. It now remains as it was since that day, a museum of violence and avarice, not a single hair out of place since the dreadful chemical weapon was deployed.

The Bankashi, in their infinite wisdom, braved that place. They sent their Void Shepards to find the one they call The Wretch, and to pillage or destroy whatever he has created. In the sludge of blood and bone they found one object worth bringing back with them, clinging to the ceiling in terror.
