🜂 THE REALMS BELOW AND BEYOND
🜂 THE REALMS BELOW AND BEYOND
The Underworld is not merely a place — it is a hunger, a memory, a gravity of souls.
Here:
The dead whisper in languages older than flesh
Demons carve kingdoms from bone
Shadows have weight
And the air tastes of iron, ash, and regret
Beyond the Underworld lie realms mortals were never meant to see —
the Void Between Worlds, the Abyssal Depths, and the screaming edges of creation.
Cultists say:
“The Underworld does not welcome you.
It only waits for you to belong to it.”
🜃 GM GUIDANCE — RUNNING UNDERWORLD ENCOUNTERS
🜃 GM GUIDANCE — RUNNING UNDERWORLD ENCOUNTERS
Underworld encounters emphasize:
Fear & corruption (Charm & Magic Resistance tests)
Soul‑draining effects (Endurance tests)
Demonic ambushes (Agility & Awareness tests)
Hellfire & void magic (Magic tests)
Oppressive environments (movement penalties, darkness)
Use:
Dark Sight constantly
Charm for resisting despair
Magic Resistance for infernal effects
Awareness for shadow‑lurkers
The Underworld should feel inescapable, ancient, and hostile to life.
