The Echoing Grotto

Just beyond the misty veil of the Fenreach Hills, seven miles east of Larkfen Hollow, the Echoing Grotto hides behind a cheerful waterfall that giggles as it tumbles into a crystal pool. Inside, the cave hums with playful arcane energy, and echoes sometimes return with curious twists—answering questions you never asked or finishing your sentences with suspiciously good advice. Lately, a local shepherd has reported his flock wandering off near the grotto, and at twilight, glowing symbols have begun to dance across the rocks like fireflies with secrets. It’s said the veil between worlds is thin here, but who’s to say that’s a bad thing? With a bit of courage and a pinch of curiosity, this could be the start of a very peculiar—and very magical—adventure.
