Some belive these caverns were carved out by the ancient Lord of Order as a means of escape from any threat on his life or a safer way to transport his armies. What is known is that do to the many roots of the Zidian tree creatures of magical origin have taken up down below. adapting to the lack of light or gravitating to the light source that comes from the Zidian roots.   Their are many caverns all through out and they are interconnected through tunnels and crevices that dot the land. Rich resources can be found here, though at great risk for those foolish enough to dare.
