Lord | 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 Lord [[Thoth]], [[coalescence|coalesces]] into [[undead]] beings. The former Lord of the Undead guard Lord [[Kemnast]] and the [[Death Knights|Death Knight]] guards could be found. Also within are Ugrach's five [[Ur'Vampires|Ur'Vampire]] lieutenants: [[Gerzson]], [[Asztrik]], [[Tizane]], [[Prioska]], and [[Zigana]]. The [[Magisterion]], three [[Tsol'dasi]] archmages, have also managed to find their way here. They are known as [[Dominar]], [[Jor'keth]], and [[Pryla'ket]]. | ||

The Dead Stairs within lead up a tower to the Lord's quarters. A grand hall, with murals depicting historic events in Underworld history, may be found in this fortress. Naturally, Ugrach's grand throne rests here in Cor Kanth, and it is rumoured that the legendary Soulbleed Nexus, the point of highest soulbleed concentration, lies somewhere within as well. | ||

'''Cor Triphyn''', the vacated fortress of former Prince [[Slith]], son of Ugrach, has been empty since the [[Chaos Wars]]. Understandably, it lies in disarray and ruin. It is roughly northwest of his father Ugrach's fortress, Cor Kanth, and the two entrances lie next to each other in the jagged peaks of the Unsguul Mountain range. | '''Cor Triphyn''', the vacated fortress of former Prince [[Slith]], son of Ugrach, has been empty since the [[Chaos Wars]].

In more recent years, the Underworld was rediscovered in 338 AF thanks to the opening of a previously sealed section of the lower level of [[Azdun]]. Brave adventurers may seek entry by going to the [[Temple of Unlife]] and touching the massive root of [[Yggdrasil]] which the Temple is built around. | In more recent years, the Underworld was rediscovered in 338 AF thanks to the opening of a previously sealed section of the lower level of [[Azdun]].

In the Year 717AF after the death of Lord Thoth who was slain by Prince Slith, the gods held a trial to decide the Prince's fate. In the middle of the trial Ugrach appeared and pleaded for his son's life, in bargain struck between him and the gods. Slith was to remain in the Underworld while Ugrach was to take Thoth's place in the Halls of Thoth, and the realm of the Underworld would be ruled by the Pantheon instead. | |||
