Toxic Caverns

Hidden in the shadow of a canyon, the caverns were once a small mining operation before the war. Now many years later, the once narrow underground pathways have been hollowed out and expanded by the mega fauna and insects that inhabit the region. Stepping into the caverns is like stepping into a more alien world; glowing, florescent crystals grow out of the cave walls and ground like a fungus; twisted into more organic shapes as one descends further. The crystals have been used in tests for an alternative power source, but harvesting them is a dangerous activity. The air is toxic with spores and radioactive material, and carnivorous bats and giant centipedes crawl in the shadows. No one is quite sure just how far down the dark tunnels go, or what else lies beyond.
