The Ünterworld

An Underworld

It's a place much like life, but everyone is dead.

The rasping Soul Dialect.

100, 000, 000 souls as of the recent survey, 'How Many Souls In Here Anyway?'

They exchange bones and 'mortalities', or things they had when they were living. The memories attached to the item being used can give a sense of life to the owner, and those with more items, or 'Artifacts', as they're called, are held in higher esteem by Death. Which is GOOD.

Sticks and stones can't break our bones - because we're dead as can be!

Under the crust of the Earth, only accessible in three locations

The Ünterworld was founded around 3200 BCE, by a collection of Ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greek. They each brought the best of their culture, and all brought one same problem: People were dying, with nowhere to go.

Combining their cultural magicks and knowledge, the Collection of Ancients crafted the Ünterworld.

It is not, as some believe, a hellish place full of demons and ghouls, but rather an alternate life; a mercy to the dead.

3200 BCE

The Ünterworld has fallen to war many, many times. The most notable of them are listed here.

The Battle of Banshee's Hill

One of the most well-known wars of the Ünterworld, the Battle of Banshee's Hill was by far one of the bloodiest.

The sides: The banshees were rebelling after being locked up in the prisons for centuries. The daemons, who were tasked with Ünterworld security and were thus responsible for capturing them again, were drawn in because it was their duty- and nobody wants to be on Crimson's bad side.

The banshees, contrary to popular belief, do not have high-pitched voices. Their voices are very low, and their screams cannot be heard by the human, daemon, or hellpound ear. THey can be FELT, instead.
A banshee's scream can cause and earthquake, if said banshee has enough energy reserved. And these banshees had been reserving for centuries.

I'm sure you can imagine the chaos when the current DEkromak's castle itself was plunged into the ground, killing seventeen daemons, the Dekromak, and starting a raging war.
