With the city-state already crowded, the people could either build up or build down. The templars commanded slaves to excavate tunnels and living chambers beneath the city. Here one finds the most wretched of Eldaarich’s inhabitants: fugitive slaves, maimed criminals, outcasts, throwbacks, and even the mutant offspring of sunwarped creatures that crept into these warrens generations ago. The Bowels are an awful, hellish place prowled by disease, murder, and sinister creatures.
