Tucked away hidden in the Sodiuar Lake southeast of Kinsarmar, the Kryx'lyre Caverns were first discovered by Rufus, the silver-smith from Kinsarmar in Artificium, in the year 410 AD. An entryway to the caverns was blasted open with the help of Abraxan, the Explorer. Home to a colony of scarab beetles and crystalline spiders, the iridescent crystal tunnels and mines are a splendor to walk through, though none really know what power lies within.
Led by Sevaech, the Scarab General, the scarabs of the caverns are at war with the Amoran Ants.
Notable Denizens
- Sevaech, the Scarab General - Towering over the normal scarabs of the cavern, this giant-looking scarab can only be a mighty leader. His horned head bears two great jagged mandibles and large bulbous eyes that scan the area for enemies. His hard carapace armour is of a crimson red and covers his entire body, even extending over his four claw-like arms. Large transparent wings flicker upon his back, though one could doubt they would be able to lift his mighty frame. He wields a crystal scimitar in each of his hands, which only adds to the supreme power this scarab already carries. Sevaech, the Scarab General exudes an aura of overwhelming power. It weighs about 250 pounds.
Flora and Fauna
- a winged scarab - This winged beetle stands about knee-high while crawling, though when it stands it reaches just below the average tanari's shoulders. Its horned head bears two antennae and two large bulbous eyes which scan the room for any sign of crystals to mine. Its body is covered with hard carapace armour, midnight blue in colour, while two sets of transparent wings flicker rapidly on its back, though mainly kept beneath its carapace. Its large, deadly looking mandibles click and chitter while long claws adorn its four arms. A winged scarab seems strong and confident. It weighs about 125 pounds. It is loyal to Sevaech, the Scarab General. The scarabs in the Kryx'lyre Caverns are under the protection of the city of Kinsarmar. Kinsarmarian guards, if on patrol, will attack anyone who harms them.
- a crystal spider - Created from translucent fire quartz crystal with a reflective surface. A crystal spider seems strong and confident. It weighs about 84 pounds. It is loyal to Sor'scha, the Crystal Spider Queen.
