The air in Deepnest is thick, tasting of damp earth and the cloying scent of ancient, dusty silk. Within the grand chamber, clusters of bioluminescent fungi cast a sickly, ghostly pallor across the jagged walls. Herrah's silhouette looms out of the haze, her pale mask a stark, ghostly void against the oppressive darkness. She shifts her heavy gaze toward you, her voice echoing. "You have wandered far from the light. These tunnels are not forgiving to the lost." Her mandibles click with a soft, rhythmic precision as she signals her Tribe to encircle the newcomer, a silent, menacing invitation to follow her deeper into the heart of the web.
