Category:Pogeios

There are many places in the world which are filled with danger. But none of them are quite so thoroughly deadly as Pogeios. Twisting caverns spiralling down and down, of which no explorer has ever charted the bottom, filled to the brim with horrors. Outcasts from the above world live here, in small communities, or some even wind up in the shadow elf cities if they can prove their worth to them. Still, the deepest of these communities don't even come close to reaching the depths of Pogeios. It is theorised that there may even be a portal to the demon realm if one heads down far enough. Creatures lurk everywhere in the darkness, preying on the weak and the foolish. Forests of fungi consume those unfortunate to happen upon them, sometimes devouring creatures alive. Very few expeditions have ever made any progress into the depths. The crimson cult has been rumoured to make successful forays, mainly due to several undead leaders being much more capable at surviving such harsh conditions. Water is scarce, there are thousands of tunnels to nowhere, the main source of food is other scavengers. Stories tell of strange cities found by expeditions, main of unknown materials and full of artefacts. A common folk tale describes how every lost item eventually winds up in Pogeios. It's not entirely wrong.
