What the story establishes
| Acoustics and tone | Gloomy, dim and ominous: a vast, high-arching chamber first perceived only as swaying yellow eyes in the murk, its dread punctuated by the dragonettes' rasping, drawling voices. |
| Appearance | Circular, high-arched, with a smooth level floor; dimly lit except for the dull yellow glow of dragonette eyes in small pockets around the rock walls. (as of ch. 82) |
| Controlled by | the mother dragon (as of ch. 82) |
| Physical constraints | Dragonettes housed here have their tails tied to rocks at the back of their individual pockets, preventing them from crawling out into the open floor of the cave; two paths lead onward from the wall opposite the entrance. |
