Cave of Twisting Shadows

The domus magna of House Criamon, the Cave of Twisting Shadows is a covenant in the Greater Alps Tribunal. It houses the Central Clutch of the House, and serves as the political, spiritual and educational center of the House.

The Cave of Twisting Shadows is described somewhat on HoHMC 55, 44. It is estalbished that it is a ten-level regio on top of a mundane level, and with the covenant proper being between the mundane and highest level. The covenant also harbors hundreds of ghosts.

"Hundreds of dead covenfolk and magi haunt the Cave of Twisting Shadows. These ghosts do not have the monomaniacal personalities often noticed in the unquiet dead. The covenant’s ghosts form extended families governed by their living members. These spirits believe that, once the answer is known, they will be able to enter the refuge outside time, as Hermetic magi can now. Many hundreds rest in their ashes, kept in urns within each family home, waiting for the call of the answer." - HoHMC

Sanctuary of Ice provides a lengthier Fourth Edition description of the covenant, which is largely (though not completely) compatible with the Fifth Edition canon. See SoI 28-41.
