Sorry Jako Cave is a hidden bastion deep within the cave system under Neverwinter Woods. Once discovered by three adventurers who named it Camaraderie Cave (Jaskyňa Družnosti), they turned it into both their home and a working gem mine. A colony of pechs — small but skilled stone elementals — settled there, shaping the tunnels and aiding in mining.

Now under new ownership of Aenwyn Wynren and Wojtek Parasolka zo Zachódu, the cavern is being transformed into a thriving sweatshop bastion, with its new residents working alongside the pechs to make it a prosperous and industrious stronghold.

Facilities

General

The heart of Sorry Jako Cave is a vast, open cavern, its high ceiling supported by natural stone pillars and crisscrossed with veins of minerals that shimmer in the dim light.

Countless tunnels branch off from this central space, winding their way toward the mining caves beyond. Within the main hall, a cluster of house-like structures serves various purposes—some are homes for the pechs, their stonework blending seamlessly into the cavern walls, while others house essential communal spaces.

A large canteen dominates one side, filled with long, sturdy tables where the pechs gather for meals. At the far end, a perpendicular table overlooks the space, reserved for the new owners, with a massive chalkboard standing nearby, scrawled with orders and tasks for the bastion.

Scattered throughout the cavern, old workshops sit in quiet neglect, their once-busy forges and workbenches coated in dust, waiting for skilled hands to bring them back to life.

Aenwyn Wynren

Aenwyn’s home, the Bastion of Solitude, stands as a quiet refuge within the cavern. Above its arched stone entrance, a graceful statue of an elven woman gazes over the main space, her expression serene yet watchful.

Inside, the two-story interior blends practicality with comfort. The lower floor is divided into distinct spaces—one corner holds an arcane study, lined with shelves of tomes and enchanted trinkets, while another serves as a workshop, its sturdy tables scattered with tools and delicate projects. A hidden gem lies beyond: a bathroom featuring a geothermal spring, its warm waters creating a spa-like oasis in the heart of the cavern.

The upper floor is a private sanctuary. A large, inviting bed dominates the space, accompanied by a vanity table and an expansive closet. A cozy reading nook nestles in one corner, furnished with plush seating and a well-stocked bookcase, offering the perfect retreat for quiet contemplation.
