    \_|                           Underworld                            |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Far beyond the realm of mortals lies the Underworld, a realm   |
      |  of fire, brimstone and ash. The great rifts created by the     |
      |  Shattering further separated this land from the prying eyes of |
      |  foolish adventure seekers who risked their very soul for the   |
      |  chance to meet the Mistress of the Dark.                       |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Following the Shattering, no entrances to the Underworld could | 
      |  be found, and it was even rumoured that Hell itself had been   |
      |  cleft in two by the forces that broke the Realm. To see        |
      |  whether Satan had finally been slain the three great Furies    |
      |  were sent forth from Olympus to discover the truth. They       |
      |  reported an opening into the world had been found, and that    |
      |  many of the lesser demons within had grown in strength during  |
      |  the long months of imprisonment. After this report, the Furies |
      |  were not heard from again.                                     |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Since the rumours of an opening to the Underworld have been    |
      |  confirmed, scores of worshipers have attempted the journey.    |
      |  Rumour has it that a Warlock living in the Kontaur forest has  |
      |  even devised a way to send adventure seekers and worshipers    |
      |  alike to the upper reaches of Hell itself. Those that do be    |
      |  warned, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.                |
      |                                                                 |
      |                                                                 |
