Grimdark

The Grimdark is a vast network of tunnels and caverns underneath the surface of Moray.

The Grimdark is an unhealthy and unwholesome place, a mostly lightless abyss where horrific abominations prowl and nameless gods prey. It is dominated by ruthless slavers, aberrant horrors, and living shadows. Life here is short and cheap and full of terror.


Meta

The Grimdark is Marillia's equivalent to Oerth and Toril's Underdark. Yes, the name is tongue-in-cheek.
