Stone Hive

Overview

Stone Hive lies east of Blightfire Moors. It is a stunningly beautiful grove of flowers and sentient plant life, but more importantly, it is home to the bixies of Norrath. The bixies are a well known nuisance by Halflings and any who spend enough time in central Antonica. But until recently, they were not thought of as a threat of any kind. It is said that after the war that took place in Kithicor Forest, Innoruuk's presence tainted everything in the dark forest, including the plants. Jumjum, a staple of nearly every dish prepared by the Halflings, is also the bixies favorite food. By consuming the tainted jumjums, the bixies themselves changed over time, becoming more intelligent and skilled in battle. Inside the hive itself are three tiers. The first level is somewhat of a commons for the bixies, while the second level is the honey refinery and prison for the slaves that work for them. The third floor is reserved for the royals, including Queen Pelzia.
