The Stairs


The entrance to the cave system was, under normal circumstances, well hidden. Unless one knew of it, one would not find it even upon close examination, which was why the clans hid successfully from Drasso. Margus had garnered the information by means one didn’t want to speculate about, and he obviously no longer saw the necessity of continued concealment, for he had removed all scrub and rock from the entrance, leaving it a well-lit and obstacle-free approach to the mouth of the first cavern. The actual entrance was recessed under an overhang and covered with a massive grill, raised at present high into the ceiling, and peat torches smoked on both sides of the inverted V.
Into this well-lit area the three alighted to a cacophony of wraith screeches, darkling curses and Falcon screams and taunts. The birds had lured their opponents into the widened mouth of the V, thereby leaving the recess deserted. The sound of footsteps could be heard from within the mountain…

Shades of Shadow

The Stairs is a mountain range riddled with caves on Valaris' Meth Peninsula (hmm, might be time to post a map...)
