Discovery of the Luminau Caves
Discovery, ExplorationThe new leading council of the Azuarai district, if somewhat informally, are keen to find more sources of income in order to help the district become fully independent from the main area of Brismais. Further exploration of the area surrounding the woods results in discovery of a cave system deep under the forest, where arcane crystals, the luminau grow. The leadership try to keep the existence of these crystals secret while they try to work out what they could be used for, but the spies of The Icy Weave quickly find out.
