The Oldroads
The worst thing about them isn't the dark, it's the quiet. In Stadupglod there is noise everywhere at every time of day or night, but here.... here it's so quiet you can hear the mushrooms growing and the quick beating of your heart in the darkness.
--15th of Tin, Year 68
Geography
In the immortal eon The Planet Dwan was the capital planet for the Dwarven Empire of Dawn. They spent hundreds of millions of years digging a massive network of roads and cities under the planet's crust that was home to more than 10 billion immortal dwarves. Then Death was released and the immortal's magic failed. Entire cities collapsed and large sections of the network became impassible.
Now most of the oldroads have been abandoned by the pillar races, leaving the long dark tunnels to the many beasts and horrors that have also sought refuge from the Thanixian within Dwan's crust. However, entire Minotaur and Orcs societies live in the oldroads around The City of Stadupglod, coexisting with many of the wild creatures found there.
