The Cavern of the Rainbow Mosses was a the region of the
Great
Underground Empire known as the
Cavern of Doom. The enormous cavity is
easily a mile across, filled with rock formations of every imaginable
shape. The ceiling, far above, is covered with with layer upon layer of
phosphorescent mosses, glowing with every color of the rainbow.
In was to this cavern where
Logrumethar, having been cursed by
Grawl
into the form of a hideous beast known as Grum, was exiled. Anyone who
gazed upon him was instantly turned to stone. Thus when this region of
the empire was reopened at the beginning of the tenth century by
Syovar
the Strong, all the exploreres who had entered were turned to stone.
Hundreds of life-sized stone statues dotted the cavern. While the curse
did not force Logrumethar to remain in the cavern, it was on his own freewill so that no
one would be forced to behold his uglinees and be turned to stone. Once
Bivotar and
Juranda freed Logrumethar from the curse, Syovar the Strong
restored all of the stoned people to their original condition and
magical returned them to his
Castle of Zork.
