Above: The main bathing room in the Tunnels.
Deep in the west, under and beyond the Westward Marshes, exist a series of dark and deep tunnels. There is fresh water within these tunnels and fish good enough to eat. Strange sightless creatures scurry about, and these are also okay to eat. The meat is tough and has a strange tang, but it is nutritious. The daemons, who own every bit of that land, have become accustomed to this flavor.
There are enough vents in the tunnels that wind flows through; just enough for a wind elemental to feel satisfied. Other than that, the tunnels are mostly closed to the outdoor world. Entrances into the tunnels are secret and kept guarded according to the daemon lord’s orders. Light is provided by a strange fungi that glows in the dark, though torches may be used in some areas where this plant is scarce.
Enter the Daemon Tunnels without a daemon host and you WILL be killed if caught. Should a daemon find you without turning you in, it will be considered treasonous. This is neutral territory for the daemons. It belongs to all of them and is therefore fiercely protected. Without this haven, they would be scattered and then the war of Litharia might become an actual problem.
Entering these tunnels with a daemon host will force you to give up all rights. You become that daemons property so long as you are within the tunnels. Hopefully your host is trustworthy. Once inside, anything goes. If, however, you are being kept against your will you may challenge your host to an official fight to the death. If you win, the daemon lord will provide an escort to let you out.
