Deep in mist-shrouded hills, in lands where goblins make their squalid camps, there is rumor of a cave, and a being older than either goblins or hills. They say that she collects treasure if it is about to be lost, and that she collects knowledge in much the same way. She is dangerous, it's said, but she is capable of a great love as well. In her dwelling one who carries love within them need not fear any dangers of the world, and she may grant them a boon. In the distant past she has helped to save this world, time and time again, either directly or through advice and aid, but there is no recollection of her appearance, save that her hair is as white and luminous as moonglow. Her name, they say, is the Grand Elusa.

Well, here's the cave, its opening worn smooth. From the outside it doesn't seem all that dark. Inside it's evident that it really isn't dark at all. The walls and ceilings are covered with glowing crystals of all shapes and sizes, their colors arranged in a smooth gradient as they line a deepening passage. It seems some crystals have grown there. Others, more like gems, were carefully set and cemented somehow. Fine lines, glowing faintly like the light from stars, connect each point to each other point.

This place has great magic in it. Any who ventures inside is watched by unseen eyes, not yet friendly or hostile.
