| abstract | - Yug'Voril is located inside a large cavern on an island surrounded by a lake. The walls of the cavern are lined with veins of blue crystal, and stretch far up into the darkness well beyond the range of sight. The shore is comprised of a type of gravel very similar to sand. The water surrounding the island is fresh water and clear enough for one to see into the lake provided that the person has light. The cavern is very humid, and the temperature is cold. The island itself is mostly covered with a forest of glowing, bioluminescent, tree-like mushrooms, and the geography of the landmass is made up of eroded areas where cliffs have formed. There are also a couple of smaller islands off its coast with ruins from Yug'Voril's former construction. The only land crossing to the island is a large, greenish, jade and marble vein-like stone bridge, although at some point, creatures (most likely the duergar) used ships to traverse the lake. Hundreds of illithids occupy the city on the island. Like the bridge, the buildings are made out of vein-like jade and marble stone, and none of the buildings are perfectly straight, as everything has a slight non-euclidean curve to it. Because the buildings have decayed with time, the illithids have slowly rebuilt the center part of their city as the population and number of thralls they possess has increased. Green spores from the mushroom forest light up the city. A large pseudo-pyramid with a flattened, open top stands in the center of the city.
