In a cave beneath Summergate Cafe

The **Summergate Token Underground** was a token shop located deep beneath Summergate during Dragonhollow's Fourth Era.

The Underground sold some items that could not be obtained anywhere else and others that could be tedious or dangerous to acquire, all of which could be traded for tokens.

# Description

The entrance to the Summergate Token Underground was hidden in a cave system whose mouth lay behind Summergate Cafe. The same system also contained hidden portals to both the Water Maze and Lava Cave.

In what appeared to be a dark dead end cavern rested a barely visible tripwire that, when triggered, revealed a secret stairwell leading down into the shadows. At the bottom was a subterranean cobblestone cavern lit by redstone torches and a flaming hearth in the center.

The shop itself rested on a spruce platform suspended above foul water fed from the sewers of Brookcastle Prison, though unlike prior Token Undergrounds it was mercifully free of diseased rats. A pipe from Lignum Vitae deposited the unwanted trash of residents there.

Items were sold in four alcoves organized by type—XP, Survival, Luxury, and Enchanting. Opposite the entrance was a token exchange where varying denominations could be combined and broken down as well as an ender chest for retrieving tokens and storing purchases.

A strange bedrock chamber of unknown purpose and origin lay hidden beneath the Underground's central hearth, thrumming with strange energies. A chiseled stone tunnel connected the chamber to the sewer water but no mechanism existed to enter from the token shop.

# History

On 4E:1, Acey announced the founding of Summergate and with it a brand new Token Underground, the first in Dragonhollow history to offer enchantments that could not be obtained through mortal means.

During their escape from Brookcastle Prison, former inmates discovered that the sewer system of Brookcastle Prison emptied into the Underground.

Dolphin and Sensei discovered problems with the special Unbreaking V and Looting IV enchantments sold in the Underground. As this was during Acey's unexpected absence, her Archpriest of Eris HyperSilence dealt with the problem by making the alcove completely inaccessible to customers and directing them to the Snowcrest Token Underground where equivalent enchantments could be applied with the purchase of an Enchanting Tome.

Despite the chaos that befell the area during the Fall of Summer on 4E:412, Summergate was protected by sacred seals from Eris herself and therefore the Underground remained intact and operational. On 4E:417 the last airships departed for the Badlands and the city was abandoned. It was unknown if the seals were strong enough to stave off the sinister power of the Black Claim indefinitely.
