The Silent Cave

The name is no misnomer. This cave is forever cold and silent, with water dripping from the stalactites. It is very dark in there, like it is forever night, with a mysterious curtain of entwined lichen that blocks out the light, that would, otherwise, flow right into the cave. With nothing but the quiet rush of the wind behind to distract whoever may be in the cave, it is obviously meant to be a quiet place for those in prayer, those in solidarity, or those that just need a bit of quiet, to "get away from the world" as it were. The maker of the lichen curtain is unknown, it has hung there for hundreds upon hundreds of years. Although some people argue that the lichen grew naturally, and it is a mere coincidence that the lichen grew in that particular way. And some people argue that Aria, the goddess of making, made the lichen from needle and thread, sowing it to the roof of the cave, which coincidentally juts out above the arched entrance to the cave.
