A '''bahro cave''' is a small, self-contained round stone chamber, accessed either by walking through a [[Journey door]] or [[linking symbol]] or by linking via a [[bahro stone]]. | A '''bahro cave''' is a small, self-contained round stone chamber, accessed either by walking through a [[Journey door]] or [[linking symbol]] or by linking via a [[bahro stone]]. | ||

This pair of nearly identical bahro caves contains a set of four [[bahro pillar]]s and is visited as part of [[Yeesha]]'s [[Yeesha's Journeys#First Journey|first Journey]]. These caves are often called the "blue" and "orange" caves, based on the color of light emitted by the lamps, which is the most visible difference between the two caves. | This pair of nearly identical bahro caves contains a set of four [[bahro pillar]]s and is visited as part of [[Yeesha]]'s [[Yeesha's Journeys#First Journey|first Journey]].

The floor of each cave is a stone plate divided into four quarters, with a round hole in the middle. Each quarter of the cave corresponds to one of the four Journey doors and holds one of the four pillars. These quarters of the floor can retract into the wall—when an explorer links into the cave through a Journey door, the platform in the corresponding corner of the cave is extended, and all other platforms are retracted. As it is impossible to stand on the retracted parts of the floor, this prevents jumping from one platform to another. | The floor of each cave is a stone plate divided into four quarters, with a round hole in the middle.

On the wall next to each pillar are two touchable symbols. The first symbol is a hand symbol, like that found on [[journey cloth]]s, and is used to transport the bahro pillar from the cave to the explorer's [[Relto]], or vice versa. The second symbol is Yeesha's symbol and a bahro drawing of her, which plays a speech from Yeesha about the corresponding age and the journey. | On the wall next to each pillar are two touchable symbols.

Inside these caves, the explorer's Relto book does not work—the linking panel only shows gray clouds and cannot be touched. An explorer can only leave the cave by jumping off the edge of the platform into the space below. After falling for long enough, the explorer is linked back to their Relto. The "blue" cave is located above what appears to be the [[Star Fissure]], while the "orange" cave is located above the [[D'ni]] [[Cavern]] | Inside these caves, the explorer's Relto book does not work—the linking panel only shows gray clouds and cannot be touched.

The "blue" cave is the first cave visited by explorers taking Yeesha's Journey and initially holds the four bahro pillars. As part of the journey, explorers must link to each corner of the cave through the four journey doors and transport the four bahro pillars to their [[Relto]]. Once this is done, the the Journey doors change their destinations to the "orange" cave. At this point the explorer must enter each journey door again and transport the four pillars from their Relto into the "orange" cave. | The "blue" cave is the first cave visited by explorers taking Yeesha's Journey and initially holds the four bahro pillars.

Like in the "blue" pillar cave, [[Relto]] books do not work inside these caves, so the only way to leave is by jumping into the starry expanse below the cave. | Like in the "blue" pillar cave, [[Relto]] books do not work inside these caves, so the only way to leave is by jumping into the starry expanse below the cave. | ||

Unlike the other bahro caves, the pellet cave has no opening at the bottom. The only way to exit this cave is using [[Relto]] books, which function normally in this cave. | Unlike the other bahro caves, the pellet cave has no opening at the bottom.

Finally, there is a small cave beneath the [[Cleft]] which is often referred to as a bahro cave. The walls are covered with a series of glowing [[bahro glyph]]s, and a pedestal in the center of the room contains a page for explorers' [[Relto]] books that grants them access to the first Journey. | Finally, there is a small cave beneath the [[Cleft]] which is often referred to as a bahro cave.
