Description
Greatcave is a vast cave, one of the larger caves in
The Nightlands that plays host to the
Suzerainty of Greatcave. It is a large and verdant place, full of strange fungal growths and eerie white trees. The cave is large enough to sport its own weather system and is often shrouded in fog and mist. Right through the middle of the cave runs the river Deris which connects Greatcave to
The Sunken Sea. There are a multitude of farms and smaller settlements strewn throughout Greatcave, but it is perhaps best known for
Kharhet, the first city of the Suzerainty.
History
Greatcave has played host to several civilisations prior to the advent of the
Rodenti. Ruins of ancient civilisations are often found and used for building materials to this day. When the
Rodenti arrived here, they had to remove a colony of
Gromen to make room for their new city and the Bridge of Whispers still stands as tribute to the last and bloodiest battle they had to fight to gain the foothold here that would eventually become the
Suzerainty of Greatcave.
Geography
Greatcave is a large place, the soft undergrowth and hidden deadfalls is often as dangerous to the unwary as anything. The slimy white trees and the glowing fungus offers up a cave that's fully a quarter boglands and the rest is covered in various
Rodenti settlements and farmlands.
Due to its prodigious size Greatcave has its own weather system and parts of it is often covered in fog and mist, sometimes it even rains.

Land Use
Greatcave has proven to be poor grounds for mining, offering up very little in terms of useful or precious minerals. It has proven to be very good for farming and ranching, and is often considered to be the breadbasket of the suzerainty.
