1. Description
Nestled between Hades Beach and the ruins of the D'Neville Mansion, the Grimwell Caverns were a former residence for Infernians, abandoned after the Inferni-Salsola War. Many of the caves are flood-prone, and few carry any traces of their precious occupants -- though sometimes things like dusty pelts and sheets of leather can be found where the caves were left in a hurry.

2. Caves
2.1 Livable
| CAVE | Description | ||
Small | |||
| CV04 | A small, snug cave with a long entryway and a rounded denning area. This dry cave promises to be quite warm in winter. It opens almost directly opposite another cave. | ||
| CV08 | This small cave is oblong of shape, with a larger rear area. There are numerous rock shelves lining each of its sides. It opens up toward the other caves. | ||
| CV13 | This is one of the larger small caves; it has two "sections," separated by an outcropping of rock shelf. | ||
| CV14 | This is a rounded cave; it opens facing toward the forest, and no other cave entrances are near its entryway, providing a bit of seclusion among the cluster of residences. | ||
| CV16 | This small cave opens toward CV17 but is otherwise a pretty lonely place; it opens toward the forest, though one can still smell the salt from the beach. | ||
| CV23 | This small bayside cave opens toward the forest rather than the beach; though it may sometimes leak and get a little damp, it is generally dry and safe. Its most prominent feature is the dark streaks of stone streaked throughout the otherwise pale limestone. | ||
Medium | |||
| CV02 | Dry and spacious, with a raised flat area for sleeping. A small alcove in the rear area provides for an excellent storage space. A few deer hides and a small stock of leather work are stored in the alcove from a previous owner. | ||
| CV03 | This cave opens toward the cental marshes of Inferni, though it also provides a spectacular (and dry) view of the bay. | ||
| CV12 | This cave is a bit of an oddity -- it is rounded and bowl-shaped, with a low point in the middle and exceptionally high ceilings. It has a long, curving entryway and is very dry. | ||
| CV18 | This larger cave opens toward CV19 , with a very long entryway. It has a subsection off to the side, more elevated than the main cave, which would be great for storage. | ||
| CV20 | This cave is very round, with several rock shelves lining its walls. Its entryway clusters near to several other caverns. | ||
| CV21 | This cave has a very widened entryway, facing midway between beach and forest. Though the ocean can clearly be heard within this cave, it is safe and very dry. | ||
| CV22 | -- | ||
| CV25 | This cave is fairly large inside, tall enough for an Optime to stand. The main area contains a pit with a small tunnel leading to the underground river; this pit often floods but the water never reaches into the main area. The main area has many stalagmites and stalactites. The actual main living area is accessed through a small, jagged crevice in the wall which leads to a small sub-cave. This sub cave has a low roof and a dry, sandy floor as well as several alcoves. | ||
| CV26 | This middling cave is near to the River Lethe and so the babble of the stream can always be heard in this cave. It has a steady drip in a rearmost corner, but does not flood or become wetter than this slow, steady drip. | ||
| CV28 | This cave is right beside the river, but manages to remain dry through its unique feature: it is very low-ceilinged, with the rearmost corner of the den, closest to the river, being only a few inches high. There is living space in this cave, but it is most suited to a Luperci who prefers their four-legged form. | ||
| CV31 | The cave is sparse and has no decorations save for a floor covered in warm pelts. | ||
| CV32 | -- | ||
Large | |||
| CV05 | In the midst of Grimwell, this cave manages to have a rather secluded entryway. The view from other caves of its entry is blocked by knobby hills and other small landforms. | ||
| CV06 | This cave opens up facing toward the marshes of the clan, with a secluded entryway. | ||
| CV07 | This cave has a subsection off to one side and opens up toward the marsh. With a raised "platform" in the rear of the larger section, it would make a good home for a medium-large family. | ||
| CV09 | This cave splits into three sections, one of them small and cramped, the other two large and open. | ||
| CV19 | This long, narrow cave is amongst the largest of the Grimwell caves; it does not have subsections, but does boast a floor of extremely variable heights -- the rearmost end of the cavern pinches tightly, while the midsection is open and airy. | ||
| CV27 | This cave opens toward the marshes. Its vicinity to the river gives it an everpresent noise of running water, but it is dry. | ||
| CV29 | -- | ||
| CV34 | A very large, very round cave. | ||
2.2 Unusable
Flooded | |||
| CV01 | These caves flooded in the hurricane, and while not permanently flooded, are likely to flood again. | ||
| CV10 | |||
| CV24 | |||
| CV15 | This cave is in the eastern section, facing outwards toward the forest. A long, narrow tunnel leads to the actual den. | ||
| CV30 | These caves flooded in the hurricane, and are permanently flooded or too damp to serve as a den. | ||
| CV33 | |||
Other | |||
| CV11 | Collapsed late 2012. | ||
| CV17 | Flooded during the spring rains of 2015. | ||
