Cavern of Earth
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Cavern of Earth, also known as the Earth Cave and Terra Cave, is a location from the original Final Fantasy. It is located south of Melmond, and the Warriors of Light must come here to find the source of the earth's rot.
[edit] Events
The Warriors of Light make their way to the bottom of the cave and defeat a vampire residing there on the fifth floor who seems to be the cause of the problem. However, this fails to stop the rotting of the earth. Later, they speak with a wise and ancient sage who lives in a cave to the west who gives them a rod with which they can move a boulder at the back of the Vampire's chamber. They return with the rod, and expose a secret passage exposing two deeper floors into the cave. Here, they find and defeat Lich, the Fiend of Earth who is leeching power off from the Earth Crystal, and rid the earth of its rotting, the first purification of the Crystals.
