Inspired by: ‘All I Needed to Know, I Learned from D&D’ in Dragon 288.
Connects to: 06.03, 18.10.01 and 19.01.
One of the witchways or merlinburrows (19.01) that leads from the Sunless Sea (18.10.01) forks about a mile below the surface. The lefthand path leads to an open cavern, the center of which is occupied by a basalt slab at least fifty yards high. Strange words are carved around the base of the slab, and people who consider what the stone would look like from a distance realise that it would resemble an enormous bald head.
The head is a site of pilgrimage for adherents of the Stern Way (06.03), but they claim that the head is absent from their myths and histories.
