Cavern 18

 Cavern 18

An interesting cavern, with a large series of two or three chambers in downward fashion.There are two shafts to the right and left, and all over the left side of the passages is down and left facing shafts that dead end.  At the bottom, in the smallest chamber, is one shafts that appears to continue, and the main entrances above to the top chamber are thin on the left and larger on the right, with four entrance shafts in total.

In vertical height this cavern measures about 209 ft.

The edited version has magmatic or geothermic activity, and gets hotter the further down you go.

This brings unique characteristics, such as the ability to gather flame, igneous rocks, rarer minerals and stone, different biota, and of course the ability to bake bread and heat water, if you can get in and out of the sweltering heat.

It is also home to a creature!
