Sundered Rainbow

Before them two large stalagmite pillars reached for the ceiling.  Beyond the stones flowed a great waterfall emptying from a larger chamber above. Chains worked their way from the pillars up to two flues on either side of the waterfall.   In the event of an attack the flues would divert the falls to flood the chamber and beyond.  According to the rough terrain that they travelled to reach this destination, survival would be limited if the falls were to be diverted. 

According to the movements of the guards there could be an opportunity to practice their swimming moves in the near future.

"Welcome to Son's, or as we call it sundered rainbow.". Desert Rose stepped forward to greet the sentries.

Rose bargained with the guards in her native tongue and gained passage to the city. 

Beyond the pillars was a massive canyon with a slow flowing river of lava.  A broken bridge suitable for Giants once spread across the great canyon.  Sections jutted out from either side of the expanse with no middle to connect them.  Carved into the center of this bridge was the great Dwarven city of Son's.  It's lights crescendo ed above the lava flow with a magnificent splendor.  Glimmering from the hollow structure it was a scene unlike anything they had seen before, the floating stone city baffled the crew.
