Sideways Cave is a small cave just to the southwest of the Imperial Prison Sewer outlet, and northeast of Imperial City. The cave is unique in that it leads to an underground lake with an old elven ruin. Apparently, the elven ruin was abandoned during a great upheaval involving Meridia and/or a flood.
- Sideways Cave – Standard leveled enemies and loot. There is also a Dead Treasure Hunter.
- Sideways Cave - Hidden Lake – An underground hidden lake with the ruins of an ancient Ayleid structure.
- There's an Ayleid Reliquary chest in the middle of the lake. On the western side of the lake near an Ayleid Chest and a defunct Shrine to Meridia, an Ayleid tablet reads:
- [A hasty translation is scrawled here...] Meridia-child, Earth root power, sea wave like (earth like a flood?). People-out (escape? present tense? imperative?).
- Sideways Cave - Lost Abagarlas – The Ayleid ruin itself..
- Upon entering, an Ayleid tablet on the floor reads:
- [A hasty translation is scrawled here...] Fourth Star Hour (time?) Terror-of-the-Most-Terror of Meridia come (came?).
- In a throne room with the dead scholar, there is another Ayleid tablet that reads:
- [A hasty translation is scrawled here...] Stone-Settlers (builders?) not rest (wake?) Meridia. Terror of the Most Terror. Haste to safehome.
- The Ayleid Coffer next to the dead scholar contains more-than-usual random and leveled loot. There are also various iron weapons and bedrolls lying around.
