Beneath the surface of Chrysalis lie the twisting halls of the Underworld, where only the strongest and most powerful beings can survive. It is a harsh land, where demon hordes are constantly fighting among themselves for dominance. Although this world has existed beneath our own, the shattering created a number of passageways to connect the two.

The largest and most alarming entrance to the Underworld opened up beneath the protective roots of the great Mother Tree, on the Taxn Alliance. After demons began pouring through, the great Totem Masters, the elders of the Taxn, used their runic powers to create an indestructible barrier to help keep the Underworld sealed off. However, after Totem Masters Wulstan and Hebridean went missing, the doorway to the Underworld was found to be opened!

No one knows if Wulstan and Hebridean were responsible for unsealing the doorway, or why. However, the nations of Rogwel and Elerd began forming expedition teams to investigate this new territory and uncover its secrets.

The air within the Underworld is heavy and impure, toxic to those from the surface. Some of the most powerful Mystics from each nation have found incantations to help keep their countrymen safe down in the depths of the earth, but no incantations can keep adventurers safe from the foul beasts which call the area home.

The rulers of the Underworld are known as the Death Order. They are the most feared entities, although their numbers are believed to be few. They rule from the shadows, taking what they want, and no sane creature has ever attempted to topple their reign of terror. Even the Barbarok, the dominant horde of the upper planes, does not dare stand in their way. However, if Totem Masters Wulstan and Hebridean are to be found, perhaps a confrontation with the Death Order is unavoidable...
