A Journey Into the Darkness

The people of Aphros go about their day, Smiths working hard to keep up with demand and physicians healing the wounded. Noticing a trend, A meeting is had to discuss supply within the city. An agreement is reached and scouts are sent into the Shadowlands. Some are not heard from again. But one returns, Fearful of what he discovered but hopeful for the best. He gives his report before being sent away to recover.

"At first there was not much to discover, The land is harsh and unforgiving. Every step we took seemed as if we were being watched. Some of the men wanted to turn back but for the good of the city we progressed. After some time, We came across a clearing beyond the trees. A rocky hillside with a large opening. Long abandoned pickaxes and a mining equipment overtaken by the foliage littered the entrance. We stared into the opening of the Mine, Its pitch black appearance seeming to snuff out all light.. At that moment a sound the likes I never heard before cries from the cave. As if an opening to Hel itself was surrounding us. We immediately fled, Some of the scouts losing their way in a panic.. I barely made it back to the city as I ran in pure fear.... I'm unsure what lies within but could it be worth the risk?"
