[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1169900, member: 1492"] Dekiran squints in the sudden sunlight, piercing after the relative darkness of the castle. With his face expressionless, except for the hint of a slight frown, he carefully considers the problem. [I]In all likelyhood the initial 'disappearance' and subsequent 'appearance' of the cavern was caused by the incompetence and sloth of the cartographers. The cave was simply there all along, but someone wrote the maps inaccurately and others couldn't read them correctly until supporting evidence was presented by the explorers. The Crown seems to have ruled out this possibility, though, so perhaps we should proceed along a different path. Rooting out the, probable, corruption in the cartographers' guild will be impossible without direct royal sanction. Merely asking questions would probably reveal little of value, but even a small clue could be crucial. The possibility of earth-quakes cannot be dismissed, a minor, local quake could have caused land slides that first covered then uncovered the cave. I would assume that the Vizier would know about that, but apparently he knows little and reveals less. Some of the sages will know, surely. There might be a small possibility that the cave was deliberately hidden, with either mundane or magical means. If the cave was used as a dwelling by some monstrous creatures... Unlikely, but it has been known to happen elsewhere, that what appeared to be a simple cavern has housed the most fearsome of creatures. If this is the case here the reopening of the cave is a dire omen indeed. The invasion might already be underway. Or not. [/I] [/QUOTE]
