cavernis

Cavernis refers to the fictional realm or kingdom of the cavern dwellers, often depicted in fantasy literature and role-playing games. These beings are typically adapted to subterranean life, possessing keen senses like enhanced hearing or echolocation to navigate the darkness. Their societies are usually hierarchical, with rulers who oversee the mining of precious ores, the cultivation of phosphorescent fungi for light, or the defense of their underground territories.

The environment of Cavernis is characterized by vast cave systems, underground rivers, and strange geological formations. Flora and fauna are unique, often bioluminescent or adapted to low-light conditions. The inhabitants themselves may vary greatly, from robust dwarf-like creatures to pale, insectoid beings or even more ethereal entities. Their cultures often revolve around themes of mining, craftsmanship, and survival in a challenging, enclosed world. Legends within Cavernis might speak of the surface world as a mythical or dangerous place, or of ancient evils lurking in the deepest chasms. Interactions between Cavernis and surface dwellers are typically rare, often leading to conflict or tentative alliances based on mutual need.
