Setting:Underground

From Eldritch Wiki

Overview

The Underground of Eldritch is one of the rare places in the world that demons, vampires, and all sorts of supernatural beings can walk around with their game faces on, or displaying their abilities without fear of repurcussions. Well, without fear of the /usual/ repurcussions. The only humans who enter the Underground are already in the know about the supernatural. It is a community with it's own structure, commerce, and rules, different from the city above.

Located several hundred feet below Eldritch and Arcana Bay, the Underground is built in the sewers as well as the natural tunnels and caverns below Topside. In most ways, the areas mirror the ones they are beneath in some manner. However, some of the areas of the Underground are considerably more primative than the city above. And like the city above, there are factions which mark their territory and defend it.

Neighborhoods

There are 10 primary neighborhoods in the Underground beneath the city of Eldritch. Click on the neighborhood name to be taken to a page dedicated to that neighborhood and what resides in it.

The Bazaar (Marketplace)

Before the 1929 Quake, Eldritch had a subway system in the southern section of the Downtown area. After the peninsula fell into the Bay, it plummeted into a sinkhole 150 beneath the surface. The city filled in the hole, and most of the station, tunnels, and tracks remained buried but intact far below. In 1935 the residents of the Underground excavated it and turned it into the Bazaar, a marketplace filled with shops.

Diversion Point (Entertainment District)

The Underground has it's own place for fun and games. Settled under the Bay View area, this is where the supernaturals come to play.

The Gurgian Hegemony (Underwater Demonic Realm)

The seat of power of the Gurgian race of demons, who are localized to the bottom of Arcana Bay in Eldritch. They caused the Quake of 1929 and are on uneasy terms with the rest of the Underground.

Jade Light District (Seedy Neighborhood)

Even the Underground has its slums. The Jade Light District is a run down area which houses businesses which would be illegal topside.

The Node (Neutral Zone)

The center of true Eldritch government and home of the Synod building, the Node is the place where orders and organizations in the Underground have their headquarters.

The Rootlands (Primal Territory)

The Rootlands are the massive underground cavern structure existing beneath the land of Redwood National Park and a large part of the North Point area of Eldritch. It is considered to be Primal Territory.

The Underhill (Residential Warrens)

A primarily residential underground neighborhood settled beneath Eldritch Hills.

The Underlake (Underground Lake)

The Underlake is a massive cavern with a huge lake fed by an underground river. It's a demonic vacation spot.

The Unhallowed (Undead Zone)

The Unhallowed is the seat of power for the Undead in Eldritch. It resides directly below Indian Island on the surface, and is ruled by The Cabal, a council of undead beings.

The Waterworks (Sewer Maze)

A maze of sewer tunnels, storm drains, and other conduits beneath Uptown. This is a place to get lost, hide out, or do dirty deeds.
