Location Aquiras Tunnel

The Wilderness of Cyphrus is an endless sea of tall grass that rolls just like the oceans themselves. Geysers kiss the sky with their steamy breath, and mysterious craters create microworlds all their own. But above all danger lives here in the tall grass in the form of fierce wild creatures; elegant serpents that swim through the land like whales through the ocean and fierce packs of glassbeaks that hunt in packs which are only kept at bay by fires. Traverse it carefully, with a guide if possible, for those that venture alone endanger themselves in countless ways.

Aquiras Tunnel

When walking through the Sea of Grass one may stumble across a hole in the ground. Most would pass it, thinking it to be a creatures den and not wanting to disturb it. But if the curious traveler were to enter the hole they would find themselves in a narrow tunnel, only about two people across. All the walls would be made of packed dirt and light would be sparse. The tunnel would go along for about a quarter of a mile then open up into a small cave. To ones eye this cave would be nothing special and no living thing would be seen resting here. Besides the dirt walls and utter blackness, the only think present in this cave is a tiny pond that some may define otherwise as a large puddle. The smart would know this puddle is just a collection of rainwater from above but the wise would realize that this is a gift from Aquiras.

If the water is drunk by the traveler one of two things will happen. They may find that their thirst is quenched and will go on their merry way, but if fate is upon them they will be compelled to return to the mouth of the tunnel. Upon return they will notice that the entrance has been transformed from the landscape of the grasslands to flashes of the viewers life. Whether from the past or future, only the Gods can decide. This sensation can last for a few seconds up to many minutes, depending on what the Gods wish to show them.

To the Drykas this tunnel is a well kept secret and only few Drykas know of its power. Outsiders would have no previous knowledge of the tunnel and would have to discover it on their own. Long ago it was possible for the viewer to step into the vision and thus be trapped in that time, but now that Aquira's heart is missing the vision can only be seen. This experience only works once per lifetime and upon return to the tunnel a vision would not take place and drinking the water would only result in a hydration source.

Feel free to self moderate.
