Underground Caverns

Underground caverns sit beneath the archipelago of Solace. They are vast, ancient, and lit by fire and luminescent crystals. For centuries the caverns were home to

the Underdwellers, who carved cities from rock and metal here while they thought the surface was lost forever. With the surface rediscovered, parts of the cavern network are now contested or abandoned.

Atmosphere

Pre-launch material describes endless caverns lit by fire and luminescent crystals, with cities grown from rock and metal. The Underdwellers built outward in all directions, mapping the underworld as if it were their rightful dominion. That ambition is preserved in the architecture, even where the inhabitants have moved on.

Likely Encounters

• Forgotten Underground Cities - the ruined cores of Underdweller civilization.

• Husks - twisted remnants of past inhabitants.

• Arcane wielders - magic-users tied to the underground side of the war.

• Towering beasts - oversized creatures that thrive in the dark.

Loot

Caverns hide rare ingredients (crystals, fungi, rare metals), relics sealed in alcoves, and lore inscriptions tied to the Underdwellers.
