Written in Cicoro's handwriting.

"The wards around the catacombs and the lower caverns are incredibly powerful and complex. They seems to hide the very existence of both from the world. I haven't quite figured out how, and without magic of my own it's difficult to investigate.

The wards also keep water out, given that the water table here is so high, its a necessity. Some rooms however are partially flooded.

The wards seem to get stronger the lower you go, perhaps this means that their power source is beneath us.
