The caves on Yates Hill were once controlled by the Mokosha dwarf clan of Jelling. The proximity of the caves to the burnt out, and abandoned Yates Manor made it increasingly difficult for the clan to continue to maintain. They gave up on the caves several winters ago. Rumors of vampires, and foul beasts roaming near the caves, and the old ruins were enough to keep locals from getting too close. There has been some activity of late in the area of the caves, strange noises and lights at night have made travel to and from Four Wells to Brendon Mill a bit unnerving. The images below show the caves looking up from old ridge trail and looking down from the main cave towards the ruins of Yates Manor.
In my home game, set in Alidor, this is my version of the Caves of Chaos.
