Wyrm-Eye Cave
Sulfur and static fill the air where the dragon's shadow lingers.
A jagged fissure in the mountainside leading into a series of humid, limestone chambers. The cave serves as a fortified outpost for a splinter cell of kobold fanatics worshiping a dormant spark of draconic energy.
The air is warm and smells of wet earth mixed with ozone. Faint electrical crackling can be heard from deeper in the tunnels, and lighting is provided by flickering tallow candles and glowing fungi.
☠ Threat
Sura the Scaled, a mutated kobold sorcerer obsessed with draconic ascension, rules the cave. Sura uses volatile alchemical mixtures and blue dragon-kin magic to maintain control over the tribe. The primary danger is Sura's unpredictable lightning-based magic and the numerous mechanical traps set by her clever underlings to protect their sanctum.
History
Originally a hermit's retreat, these caves were seized decades ago by a cult seeking to resurrect a fallen bronze dragon. After the cult was purged, a band of kobold marauders moved in, utilizing the leftover alchemical traps and ritual chambers to defend their new home. They have since converted the ancient shrines to honor their new leader, Sura the Scaled.
