The Primordial Ruins

Deep inside the cavern systems underneath the Cave of Secession lies the Primordial Ruins. They are named as such because no one knows exactly from which time they are from except for the fact that they were not created by any known surface dwelling species. This is at least according to the Holy Order of Druids who argues that they have no account of these ruins and since they have where around since the beginning of the world, they argue that something unknown must have created them. Whatever the case multiple explorations have not found any signs of life or danger in the ruins themselves although the caves do still go deeper.   The ruins mostly consist of houses built from finely cut stone and bricks. Their size suggest that most of the inhabitants where about of human size although some buildings are much taller than that with impressive archway doors. There also seem to have been made some kind of irrigation system to what could have been fields outside the town, although these systems no longer lead water and all the crops are long gone instead replaced by barren rock and patches of inedible mushrooms and moss.   By the size of the ruins some scholars have theorized that they could house about 10,000 people although others argue that the fields are much to small to feed that many. Whatever the case the ruins have little riches left in them as the first to discover them where adventurers hungry for riches and as such they kept the ruins secret until they had looted everything.   Now the ruins are used as a base for exploring further down and the Holy Order of Druids have set up a camp for their further study and protection.
