The Plaza Numina

Caves are sacred spaces in Mythrism, and hundreds of natural caverns, large and small, are used by City dwellers. Of these, one of the most notable and legendary is the cave under the Plaza Numina. Under this district, there are volcanic fissures that belch forth a noxious fume. These vapors have an intoxicating effect. Those who breathe these smokes experience a dream-like trance. Sometimes they rave or babble. It’s widely accepted that this is a sacred experience. Those who dwell in this district mostly cater to pilgrims coming to huff the vents, like residents of Mecca catering to those on the hajj.

Sensations:

The titular plaza is large and unpaved. A rent in the earth lies at its center, like an unclosed wound. Candles surround the fissure, giving it an eerie glow. The smell that permeates this district has been described as mushroomy. Here and there, pilgrims convulse in the street, tended by red-robed minders. The sound of overlapping glossolalia.

Special City Action

• Huff fumes: If you seek to huff the sacred fumes, the GM prepares a “Mad Lib” for you. You provide adjectives, nouns, and verbs. The GM then reads the Mad Lib to you. This is what you babble/prophesize during your trip. The GM may use this nonsense prophecy in planning sections of the Underworld, if they wish.
