Lying at the lowest roots of [[Yggdrasil]], the World Tree, the '''Underworld''' is the massive plane in which the [[soulbleed]], the energy lost in transit to the realm of death, [[coalescence|coalesces]] into [[undead]] beings. The former Lord of the Undead guard, Lord [[Kemnast]], and the [[Death Knights|Death Knight]] guards can be found here along with [[Slith]]'s five [[Ur'Vampires|Ur'Vampire]] lieutenants: [[Gerzson]], [[Asztrik]], [[Tizane]], [[Prioska]], and [[Zigana]]. The [[Magisterion]], [[Dominar]], [[Jor'keth]], and [[Pryla'ket]], formerly resided here as well.

===Tenungick Swamp===
===Tenungick Swamp===
The fetid '''[[Tenungick Swamp]]''' composes one half of the midsection of this realm, joining with the Damienne Forest in the east and west and the Unsguul Mountains in the north. The [[Shtlenii River]] cuts through its southern end. Within the Tenungick, bubbles of noxious poison gas push and plop to the sludge-coated surface, formed by the subterranean workings of the swamp. It is here that adventurers first find themselves upon entering the Underworld, as this is where the Temple of Unlife's root of Yggdrasil leads. At the southern end of the swamp, on the southern banks of the Shtlenii, the dread Prylator Pit plunges into the bowels of the realm.

===Granniftor Fortress===
Piercing the clouds over the bleak Abhal Tornu Desert is '''Granniftor Fortress'''. This massive serpentine tower was the stronghold of the Magister [[Jor'keth]], acknowledged as the greatest of the Magisterion. The grisly Sangrim Climb, a grim spiral staircase constructed of stacked humanoid thigh bones, winds its way up through the fortress's interior.

==History==
==History==
As the first undead to coalesce from soulbleed and gain sentience, Ugrach claimed dominion over his lesser brethren, the ghosts, wisps, and ictheli of the land. After a time, he came upon the secret of creating, bypassing the need to wait for coalescence to occur. Skeletons, zombies, ghouls, vampires, and wights were his creations. Finally, he created his crowning achievement, whom he titled "Vampreny." Vampreny would create for him, giving Ugrach time to grow in power. However, Vampreny disappeared from the Underworld after awhile.

Some time before the [[Chaos Wars]], the [[Gedtet]], a race of undead hunters, was exterminated by King Ugrach. The exact nature of the Gedtet remains a mystery, hinted at in passing by works of undead art.
