Underground World (地底世界 Chitei Sekai?) is a huge cavern that is as big as Dilhade and Azesion combined.[1] It is cohabited by three great countries that are in conflict with each other.
Overview[]
The underground world consists of three major nations, one holy city, and the dome.[2] Though other smaller nations exist as well. Due to being underground, there is no blue sky or sunlight, creating a food shortage. Despite this, natural landscapes such as green plains, rivers, mountains, marshlands, deserts, and wastelands exist because the draconid race turned to the gods for nature's blessings.
Rumbling in the sky
Instead of a sky, the underground world possesses a canopy of earth known as the dome, which is also known as the surface.[2] To be more accurate, the dome is only the bottommost part of it, as the surface wasn't affected when the dome temporarily became eternally unchanging. In fact, the dome isn't just one giant slab of rock but countless boulders held up by the pillars of order. Every one hundred years, the skytremors disrupt that order, causing the boulders to rain down as earthrain. Though there's a delay before the earthrain begins, typically seven days after the first skytremor.[3]
Assisting the pillars of order is the Sky Pillar Swords Velevim, which can be found throughout the underground.[4] However, unlike the pillars of order, they are tangible. Thus, they can be destroyed by sufficiently strong individuals who seek to bring down the dome.
History[]
The cavern only came into being some time after Anos Voldigoad's death, so its existence and civilizations are unknown to him. Since it was impossible that such a complex structure could appear in just two thousand years, the gods are believed to be involved.[1]
The first Selection Trial was held here, and that's how the people of the underground came to know about the gods. To survive the harsh conditions of their home, the draconids turned to them to survive. Eventually, three religions emerged, each with a kingdom founded upon it. Due to religious differences, the three nations waged war against each other.
