# Cragseeker
Mountains are strong, but even they decay and wither with time. Cragseekers look for the lost places and deep peoples, seeking to bring them back from the mountains that may have trapped them. The Deepest places of the world often hide dangers that are hidden from what people know, secrets that are best kept as secrets.

Hardening themselves to the whispers in the dark and the chill effects of the eternal winter in the mountain tops, Cragseekers are a hardy bunch that stop only when they think it is best to do so. Training their senses to allow themselves to keep ahead of the dangers and away from the twisted madness, they seek only that which is asked of them and nothing more.

### History:
Hypha’s decay at the march of the ever growing sickness affects not just the people but the land itself, Fungal spires and mushroom landmines cover the plains and billow out of the caverns. The people of Hypha needed a group of travellers to carry messages across the plains, though the caverns and around the continent so they didn’t lose contact and devolve into madness. This group became known as the Cragseekers as they took it upon themselves to delve into the caverns and find what was lost.

Though many years and endless battles the decay is slowly winning, but the Cragseekers continue the goal of finding the cause of this decay and destroying it, or sealing it away once more.
