| A vaguely defined region in the massive, upwardly-growing City of Babel, capitol of the Ashdod Territories. This encompasses the lower levels of streets, foundations and buildings that have been built up upon over centuries, a great deal of it having collapsed into rubble long ago. Over the ages, the Eeee, mimicking the age-long further construction of the Tower of Babel, have built new structures atop the old (sometimes resulting in terrible catastrophes as these structures collapse from time to time). Deep within the shadows of these spires are shadowed and forgotten streets, some of them little more than tunnels through stone and rubble, where the refuse of Babelite civilization gathers. Here, the light of day does not shine, nor is there any law and order. On occasion, the priestesses of Gorphat may conduct Purges of sections of the Undercity known to harbor large numbers of transients, but otherwise the people cowering here are left for the most part alone and forgotten. There are, of course, persistent rumors of treasures to be found in these depths, but also of monsters and other dangers as well.
