The tunnel city is a study in opposites, beauty and uncleanliness cohabitate in every aspect. Bare, trash-laden dirt floors contrast with impressively-carved wooden panels and highly-decorated ceilings. Motifs of the natural world such as [[dryads|dryad]] statues, [[sparrows]], [[flowers]], and the Gaian lemniscate are found everywhere. The ettin craft defines them but so do their hoarding impulses: towering piles of refuse, the detritus of woodworking, can be found throughout the city whilst the stench of litter and unwashed bodies seems to permeate everything. Though the ettin are a simple people, the motto "two heads are better than one" pervades here: the two-headed giants look upon outsiders with disdain and disbelief, most considering themselves more intelligent and in better company than single-headed humanoids. | The tunnel city is a study in opposites, beauty and uncleanliness cohabitate in every aspect.

The World Tree provides nourishment and occupation to the mighty creatures, who worship the goddess [[Gaia]] as an extension of their gratitude to Yggdrasil's bounty.

On occasion the inhabitants of the subterranean city are known to sell their wares to outsiders, provided intrepid visitors can navigate the tunnels and the loamy soil trails. | ||
