The Chorsha Underground - Imperian Online Help  12.16.8 The
Chorsha Underground  North of the Vardarians and down a dank
shaft is the Chorsha Underground, a place where the wise
traveler will bring a lamp to light the way. These echoing caves
beneath the highlands are filled with giant cockroaches and cave
bats that are quite happy to suck an adventurer's blood.  Deeper
still within these damp caves are the ioqs, a species of
grotesque, ape-like creatures that make their home in the lowest
and largest chambers of Chorsha. Opposite the ioqs, on the
western side of Chorsha the dreliths hold court. All but the
strongest would do best to avoid these cousins to the caverns'
ubiquitous cave newts.   Leaving these deep caves is a
challenge, for the primary shaft is far too narrow to make the
climb back up, but rumors speak of a dwarven miner who can help
lost adventurers find their way home.
