The Black Warrens
Geography
The Black Warrens are a place of strange mystery and endless passages. Here, deep below the earth, many have compared it to another world entirely, claiming that the place itself is inhuman, unnatural, unlike anything they've ever seen. Some, however, choose to live here and have done a great deal mapping the endless passages and strange underground seas. One thing is certain though, this land is a place of danger and a place of alien creatures for surface dwellers.
Several notable geographical locations exist thought which can be used as landmarks to know where one currently is. The first is a location known as The Machine Below. This area covers a huge section of land surrounding the fabled Dovmek city of Mithardumm. Mithardumm is an ever self-expanding city that grows like a beating heart. Its area increases each day and its presence can be noted by the additions of pipes, and gauges, and valves that suddenly festoon corridor walls like arteries and veins. Another geographical location of note is The Tenebris Mare, or The Dark Sea. This huge expanse of water, located almost directly beneath the city of Midas is a huge underground ocean containing all variety of strange beasts and monsters. Dovmek steamships often cross this sea, taking supplies from lower Korinthos to upper Korinthos and connecting the two major Dovmek cities of Ankmir and Gazlya. A third notable location is The Crystal Forest, a huge cavern filled with crystals of various brilliant hues and colors that shine brightly in the dark. All manner of strange beasts wander these caverns, consuming the crystals and various other vegetation and taking on strange characteristics as a result.
The Black Warrens are a strange and diverse realm however, and it is easy to become lost in them. All manner of creatures both sentient and feral reside here, carving out a home for themselves amongst their strange neighbors and vistas.
