Overview

Lying under the town of Redwood an ancient series of tunnels and caves stretch for miles, enveloping the area with lush, exuberance plant life. Its properties while studied are widely unknown.

History

The full history of the cave us unknown however the archeologists and the scientists have been able to piece together parts of the past using the rocks and the mysterious paintings on the walls.

Founding of Redwood

Many years ago the cave was rediscovered after years of being dormant. Gummy and Fredrick quickly found the area after meeting up in the nearby town of Invictus. They immediately knew something about the area was different and set up a small campsite. A few days after the discovery of the area Fredrick noticed the vines around the tents were growing back extraordinarily quickly after being trimmed or cut. Gummy soon took a very keen interest to this phenomenon and decided to study it. In order to study these strange events a more permanent settlement was created and named Redwood.

Findings

Throughout the exploring of the Caves in Redwood many interesting discoveries were made, including the findings of the old society that previously existed an unknown time ago. One of the first discoveries was the various mineshafts surrounding the area, often intersecting with the caves as streams and large reserves of water within them can be a clean freshwater source deep underground. Within the mineshaft's

there have been of 30 rooms discovered so far. Around ten of the rooms were made by the first generation while the rest have been of the newer generation.

One of the most important findings have been the paintings and carvings found on many second generation rooms. These were large works of art were meant to provide the long time miners with a distraction from the dark tunnels which they made their living in, as well as a chance for their wealthy contractors to show off to miners and peers alike. The more lavish paintings often meant a better life style and better food choices.

One of the tools found in the cave has been the half pickaxe, it has stayed the same throughout the first and second generation of miners.
