Underland 7 - Outer Chasms Encounters

This is just a quick look at the outer chasms and I realized I didn't cover the inner land of Yoth-Ka. Will start do detail the communities and probably a bit on surface Island gazetteer for Tenkar's Landing. Citadels will probably get a hit next week.

d12 Yoth-Ka Central Plateau
The centre of the Underland where the great citadel lights the whole cavern with the great cold light Magenta beacon. The greatest citadel in the underland where prehuman monster kings met and once ruled the surface. While the gods tried to bury and destroy this place and bury it forever they failed. The plateau is covered in ruins and things best not disturbed.

d12 Outer Darkness Cavern
This land is bathed in magical darkness that drinks any light brought here. Only sonar and thermal vision works here. Sensing life force or minds or magic can help too. It is a great slab of broken volcanic rock with razor obsidian lined pits. Temples to Tsathogua with his dark spawn and to the living darkness.are found here. Shadows and negative planar beings reside here. Cultists pilgrims here require guides or surgically modify their sight or magically transform themselves to survive. The great black citadel is contested by man beings of evil and holds many secrets. Lights may function in parts of the citadel so it is used by pilgrims the most.

Their great citadel is a sprawling semi collapsed heap but still is populated and full of busy sweatshops. Tracks for a train across the kingdom.
