12.2.7.14 PTOMA HIVE
Situated deep in the Razine Tunnels of the Undervault, Ptoma Hive is the smallest of the nine Kepheran hives. Its role is to exploit the rich veins of ore and precious metals which concentrate in its vicinity, which it does through the careful husbandry of specialised hyfae. Ptoma is ruled by Hive Queen Ptoma, an eligible young widow with a long list of eager suitors. See also QUESTS PTOMA.
