The Underground Forest was not always underground. In the wake of the [[War of Humanity]], when this forest still enjoyed the fruits of the surface world, there lived a [[Tsol'aa]] named [[Darnashta'i]]. At this time, many people were wary of [[humans]], as they had been prophesied to inherit the planet. Darnashta'i shared in this sentiment. He was of the Tsol'aa, who had been pushed further and further into the forests as the humans expanded ever more.

But the demon was not done with his reward. He raised his hands and uttered a chant that ripped the forest from the earth and placed it in a large subterranean cavern. Naturally, this brought him to the attentions of [[Gaia]], the Goddess of Nature. She appeared before him, but, ignorant of the powers dieties wield, he was not impressed, and warned Her not to intervene. Angered, She bound him in a cocoon of energy, and turned to Darnashta'i, who begged for forgiveness at Her feet. This She granted him. Sensing a slight weakening of the cocoon, the demon secreted into the goddess's essence a seed made of his own hatred, paranoia, and arrogance. Gaia, unaware of this, turned then to the demon and sentenced him to eternity without his physical form, save a writhing [[wyrms|wyrm]] statue of Her design. To Darnastha'i she granted the gift of immortality so that he might watch over the statue unto eternity. This seed festered silently within the goddess, taking effect many years later, in the form of [[Gaia's betrayal]].
