An ancient cave system filled with glowing lichens, dank air, and critters. There are places where the water has accumulated to make for long shallow pools and puddles throughout the place. It has an almost mystic air about it. The name comes from an old Fofaf word that describes any kind of glow as a fire made of aether. Further research into the lichens has proven that it is neither aether, nor fire, but it does in fact glow to light the tunnels. There are a number of wild things living here, and occasionally other travelers. Many of the things found here are harmless, but not everything. There are a number of treasures to be found, making it popular among explorers.
