[QUOTE="Dyson Logos, post: 9567933, member: 83678"] [ATTACH type="full" size="3600x3600"]394478[/ATTACH] [B]Scavengers’ Deep – Map 15[/B] The Scavengers’ Deep is a reminder of the amount of work that went into underground structures during the great war. Generally, the elves only built underground when hiding their breeding and research facilities, whereas the forces of the kingdoms, assisted by the dwarves, were constantly building underground as the elves were unrelenting and would completely raze any surface defences that they defeated. But the structures now known as the Scavengers’ Deep are atypical, an elven complex mixing some (ruined) surface structures, natural caves, and significant sprawling underground complexes dedicated to research, training, and breeding their slave species. This is the fifteenth map in the Scavengers’ Deep series – sitting south of Map 9, east of Map 14 (and west of the upcoming Map 16). Deep in the heart of the complex, the massive twenty foot-wide corridors continue through this section, acting as highways through these parts of the mesa connecting the various sections of the complex. This map is centred around a very large cave that is connected to the other major caves to the north by a series of winding tunnels. Like the other large caverns, this was used by the elves as living space for their arcane genetic experiments – forcing them into close environments where they can be overseen by the elves to determine which mutations were worth pursuing. The cavern has a very high ceiling about 90 feet above the main floor of the cave, with a four-story “tower” built into the west side for observers & overseers. The water flows down into this cavern from the north, and continues downhill to the east. Along the southeast side of the massive grotto is a raised area that acts as a wide ramp up to a series of caves used as living space by the thralls and now by their remaining descendants – giving them easy access to the fungus field below. The roof of the cave is pierced in several places, allowing a small amount of sunlight and rainfall into the western side of the cave, which has also resulted in the partial collapse of the upper levels of the observation tower.
