A whole world beneath the surface of Edyrea, roughly as large as the surface itself.
Details
The Forgotten Depths is home to demons, devils, and spawns of the Pale — to Edyreans on the surface, nothing good happens down there (e00 00:19:57). The Guilds have mostly kept it under control, historically, dealing with any cracks, fissures, or incursions of monsters or criminal gangs that emerge (e00 00:23:02).
Pale fissures are cracks in the Forgotten Depths that act as portals, out of which mindless, violent creatures emerge — the source of the four player characters’ arrival on Edyrea (e00 00:24:07, e00 00:28:26).
Essence crystals are mined from Underwriem, the part of the Forgotten Depths directly beneath Wriem, and from the Forgotten Depths more broadly (e00 01:43:22). To legally delve into the Forgotten Depths, a person must belong to a guild and pay tax on any loot or essence they collect (e00 02:09:21).
People do live in the Forgotten Depths and Underwriem, but they are not welcome on the surface (e00 02:11:25).
