The Underfall is the largest district in the Roots. Thanks to its central location, it serves as a hub from which the other districts fan out, like spokes on a wheel. Major roads, like the Mainstay, end here, giving way to tunnels called rootways. These are generally narrower than the tunnels in the Trunk level. Some of these rootways are shaped into the Evertree's roots, while others are dug through the soil. The smallest rootways provide useful shortcuts across the district for those who know their way around.
District Services
The Underfall lacks the specialized districts of the Trunk and Canopy above. Instead, business and homes lie side by side throughout its tunnels. Alongside more established shops, merchants set up stalls and carts each day. Tailors, apothecaries, and vendors of different handicrafts can be found alongside inns and eateries.
Perch Guard Station
Near the center of the Underfall there is a Perch Guard station. While the building is an imposing statement, Perch Guard officers patrol rootways far less frequently than branchways higher in the Evertree.
