Cavern of Axiom

The Cavern of Axiom is a lost shrine to Ioun spoken of only in riddles. Hidden by ever-shifting illusions, the entrance to this cavern opens only to those who are expected by fate. Its entrance looks different to every group that finds it, from the imperious to the humble, but it appears simply as a heavy snowdrift to those not fated to open its doors. Within its shifting façade are dangerous challenges and trials designed to test the will and mettle of those who seek the infinite knowledge of the Knowing Mistress. The chambers plunge deeper into the rock beneath the mountain as half-eroded murals and strange puzzles evaluate any wanderer who seeks an audience with the keeper of the cavern, an ageless androsphinx named Kamaljiori. The final challenges presented by the sphinx alter from subject to subject, and failure banishes the subjects from the cavern, barred from ever returning.
