Within the Rift~
This vertical passage is a glowing juncture between the physical world

and another, less solid plane.  While above you lies rock, lined with

jutting rocks as handholds, below you is nothing but swirling @Mpurple@n mist. 

More than mist, actually, as it is so thick as to be solid, a wall of

mist.  It is as if a rift has opened here, between this world and the one

below.

Beyond the Rift~
Black shadows crouch on the periphery of your vision, their voices a

cacophony of disorienting hisses, growls, and whispers.  At first they

surround you, threateningly close, but then the darkness parts to the

west, widening into a more open passage.  The rift seems to thin

overhead, entering a vertical stone tunnel.

The Edge of the Underworld - Near the Rift~
A great dark plane stretches into the grey northwest, the murky sky

meeting the unseen horizon in a dull, colourless void.  To the south, a

strange fissure awaits, the cold granite of a solid wall of rock split

down its center, forming a forbidding passage into the unknown beyond. 

To the east, a passage leads through the shadows which border the

underworld.

The Edge of the Underworld~
The misty plane is bordered by dark shadows, nearly solid barriers which

house foul wraiths and ghosts, all thirsting for living blood.  They seem

to be gathering even closer, sensing the tentative barrier which is the

Rift, getting as close as they can in preparation for such a time when

the Rift is opened and they can slip through to the living world.

The Underworld - Along the Line of Shadows~
To the south, a long line of wraiths and ghosts lurk in a wall of shadow,

waiting, hoping, thirsting for unwary travellers who stumble into their

domain.  They are nearly in a frenzy now, sensing the Rift which offers a

passage out of the underworld and into the world of the living.  To the

west, the narrowest of passages lurks between two rising walls of shadow,

like a set of jaws ready to clamp down on whatever enters the darkness of

iits mouth.

The Underworld - Ring of Shadows~
The circle of shadows is drawn very tight here, as close as possible to

the Rift.  Hundreds of shapes swim around in the shadows, and at your

approach a tumultuous clamor of whispers and scratchy voices can be heard. 

The grey plane which is the underworld, dreary, murky, lifeless grey,

continues to the east and south.  To the north and west, the shadows form

an impenetrable barrier of death.  The mists underfoot are quite thick.

There is almost no room to maneuver in this narrow passage, where

blackness and cold swirl around you as palpable entities.  In the

absolute chill of the passage, the heat of your breath creates miniature

clouds of fog as it leaves your mouth and sinks to the floor.  It is

colder still to the south, where purple clouds swirl in a frenzy.  Within

the clouds, hundreds of pairs of evil black eyes stare, unblinking,

waiting.  You can exit the narrow passage to the north.

The lines of shadow press in tightly, nearly closing off this narrow

only by slight variations in the mad twisting darkness.  You can escape

the pass to the east or west, but in those directions the shadows still

lurk in patient masses, hungering for your flesh.

The Underworld - Behind the Narrow Passage~
The nearly solid walls of mist press close to the east, nearly blocking

the way.  In all other directions, the dark plane widens, purple horizons

beckoning like an open abyss.  The mist clings underfoot, enshrouding the

ground in a blanket of fog.

This seems to be a somewhat central point of the abyss.  The shadows,

midnight.  The mists form a massive wall to the east, while the abyss

stretches into the grey nether to the west, north, and south.  Heavy fog

cloaks the ground.

The patterns of darkness converge here, a swirling mad vertigo of black,

a broken body, torn to pieces.  From the shadows come cackles and

murmurings as the body convulses in pain, not living, yet not granted the

rest of death.  The nether widens to the east, a more open plane amidst

The Underworld - Dark Passage~
This dark fold within the nether bends sharply to the east, purple shadow

walls twisting, confusing the vertical.  Heavy mists cloak the ground,

huddling around your knees, obscuring the terrain.  The dark passage

leads through swirling night to the south and east.

The Underworld - Dark Passage~
The shadows twist, the passage bending as does the fabric of the nether. 

A strange tunnel leads up and out of this dark passage, but the grim

purple sky beyond its opening looks no cheerier than the misty black

surroundings in which you currently stand.  The dark passage leads west.

The Underworld - Walls of Mist~
Below you, the nether bends into a dark tunnel which burrows into the

mists at your feet.  Above you, a midnight-purple sky seems infinite, yet

as near as a soft cloth draped overhead just out of reach.  Walled by

mist, a passage leads north into the nether.

The Underworld - Beyond the Narrow Passage~
Netherous fumes flare up from time to time, glowing a strange purple that

illuminates and fades with a randomness reminiscent of lightning bugs. 

Silken wals of purple cloud enshroud you, fading just before you

suffocate.  Infinitely deep skies invade with their storm-like purple

thunders and lightnings, but their flashes come from afar, their cold

gaze bereft of a powerful threat, but chilling all the same.

The Underworld - Beyond the Narrow Passage~
Strange walls of thick shadow swirl to the north and east, their purple

mists gathered in strength at your approach.  The abyss stretches to the

southwest, dense fog clinging to the ground.  No light mars the sky's

perfect midnight darkness.

The Underworld - Beyond the Narrow Passage~
Walls of purple shadow have formed to the north and west, framing the

black abyss which stretches into a midnight horizon to the southwest. 

Heavy mists cling underfoot, obscuring your view of the ground below. 

Cold, empty air freezes in your lungs.

The Underworld - Beyond the Narrow Passage~
A deep violet haze surrounds you, a nebula of mist and fog.  The strange

cloak is impenetrable visually; even the floor beneath you is enshrouded

in thick clouds of purple which hug your lower extremities with a chill,

almost tangible aura, of death and decay.  A thick wall of purple fog

prevents movement to the west, its cloud-like tendrils flashing a bright

purple from time to time, an eerie thunderstorm of supernatural power.

The Underworld - Beyond the Narrow Passage~
Midnight ripples across purple, the mists a shimmering field of

substantial fog to the north and south.  The passage continues to the

east, folding around itself as it disappears into the nether.  To the

west, the abyss opens, waiting.

The Underworld - Bend in the Nether~
Mists warp and bend, forming strange slanted walls which twist around

you, confusing the horizontal.  All is darkness, from sky to ground and

back again.  Flashes of midnight range across the mists and fog, a dancing

storm of darkness.

The Underworld - Walls of Mist~
The fabric of the nether folds, twisting to the west and south amidst

walls of purple darkness.  The forboding, draping sky above distorts, as

if through a lens.  It is like the sky is tearing like cloth.  Heavy

mists cloak the ground, obscuring the terrain below.

Walls of mist rise on either side, framing a bend in the folds of the

nether.  Thick fog billows at your feet, its purple form undulating like

a serpent.  The folding passage leads east and south into the darkness of

the abyss.

The Underworld - Hollow in the Nether~
This strange bowl-shaped room seems a kind of hollow amidst the dark

mists of the nether.  Heavy mists lie overhead, perhaps concealing a

hidden vertical passage.  The purple shadows of the walls are an intense,

almost mirror-like black.
