Dungeon Floor 1

Overview

The first level of the 18-level World Dungeon, built from the crushed matter of Earth's surface. Crawlers had five days to find a staircase down before the floor collapsed.

Description

A vast subterranean maze of wide stone corridors lit by green lichen on the walls. Floors are marble. Main hallways are wide enough for twenty people side by side, with smaller branching passages. Iron staircases carved with fish-demon motifs (a rendition of the Kua-Tin) marked each entrance.
