Cut and carved beneath the surface of UslaCairne are a maze of caverns and caves; some natural, some cut by mortal hands. The Under Dwellers reside here, hiding from the flames and strife of the world above. But not without their own concerns and the perils of living on the edge of the Deep.
The most prominent under city is Stillnocht, deep beneath the northern Sorgash Mountains. The tall natural cave system spans several square miles and contains a fresh water lake known as Teranus Loch. The surrounding rock contains multiple veins of iron, coal and silver as well as smaller veins of other more esoteric minerals.
The inhabitants of Stillnocht, like most other of the Under Dwellers, are a mixture of multiple species with pale skin, some individuals have developed bioluminescent patches or markings to navigate the darkness. Their eyes tend to be large and sensitive to low light conditions, often possessing enhanced night vision, allowing them to navigate the dark caverns. Under Dwellers' physical forms are divided into two clusters. The first with elongated limbs and flexible joints, are known as the Teranites. Teranites have a natural affinity for climbing, with strong, dexterous digits capable of gripping onto rocky surfaces. The Vorden are shorter with thick muscular builds, and have naturally tough skin and extended endurance. Both have keen senses of touch and hearing able to detect frequencies moving through earth.
