The Catwalk Caverns are a location in Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. Originally created by Michel Robard as an alternative rout out of Yvel, it has since been occupied by Dark Army forces from Castle Cimmeria during their siege of the city. A hidden entrance to the Caverns is found beneath Bruno's Lodge.
