The Deep Crag Run

 “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy” - Ben Kenobi

This cave system is home to many half elves, humans, gnomes, and occasionally

'''even dwarves that wish to live beyond the authoritarian reach of normal cities. The'''

'''Deep Crag Run is known far and wide for being a lawless place. Truth be told, even though the people of the Deep crag tend to be more rough and tumble than their city dwelling relatives, they serve an important function. '''

'''The Deeper Portions of the crag are full of many types of terrible Inhabitants. At certain depths, horrific versions of the surface dwelling folk threaten to burst up from the surface at any moment. '''

'''The people of the Deep Crag are in an almost invisible war to defend the surface from the aberrations that long to see the sun. This is why the people are secretive, and why they pay no heed to the structures and laws of their neighbors. They have no time for formality and politics, these people have a job to do.''' The Crag is lit by a delicate mycelium of a bioluminescent fungus on its roof. The fungus has a 10 hour light cycle and 20 hour rest cycle. No one is quite sure what the fungus feeds off of. It has never been found anywhere other than this single massive cave, and has never been able to be cultivated elsewhere for as long as people have known about it. Previous attempts to collect samples of the fungus resulted in the entire colony going dormant for multiple days and slowly re-illuminating over the course of nearly a month. As a result, attempts to tamper with or molest the fungus in any way result in the perpetrator being "fed to the earth" Each "Cragger" carries a lantern. These lanterns are highly customized and are as unique as the person who carries them. Even the members of cragger society who have infravision still often carry a lantern for the added clarity, and ability to repel the denizens of the dark.
