the bleak hollow

peering into the dimly-lit cavern, once you step in, you are greeted by the wet, cool scent of stone. dripping stalactites hang from the vast ceiling, rivulets of ground water trickling from above. padding deeper into the hollow, the cavern reveals a subterranean pool of clear water that stretches far into the endless darkness. an ethereal light seems to emanate from the water, shimmering and ghostly as it extends along the jagged cavern walls. it is a sacred place where the new basaltclan leader goes to endure three tests given to them by their spectral ancestors to determine whether they are worthy to lead their clan to greatness or not.
