Shadowdeep

The Shadowdeep, a subterranean abyss veiled in eternal darkness, lies beneath the cradle of the earth, concealed from the light of day. A realm of stygian caverns and winding tunnels, it is the sinister homeland of the malevolent Dreadborn. Born from the deepest recesses of the earth, these abominations embody the nightmarish fusion of corrupted elements and darkes nightmares.
The first known entrance to the Shadowdeep is shrouded in mystery, hidden in the deepest reaches of long abandoned dwarven ruins, accessible only through the deepest mines and chasms, where the veil between the mortal realm and this subterranean abyss is at its thinnest. The air in the Shadowdeep is thick with an otherworldly essence, a suffocating blend of decay and malice that permeates the rock and soil.
The Dreadborn, foul creatures of the abyss, once slumbered in the inky depths until the greed of Dwarven miners disturbed their eons-long rest. As Tharûdrim delved into the earth in pursuit of precious resources, they unwittingly opened pathways to the Shadowdeep, allowing the malevolence within to spill forth like a toxic tide.
The Shadowdeep is a realm of constant strife, where the Dreadborn lurk in the shadows, drawn to the surface by the echoes of conflict and the scent of fresh blood. Endless horrors await those who dare to venture into its lightless depths—twisted monstrosities, nightmarish landscapes, and an ever-present aura of dread. The air itself seems to conspire against intruders, whispering secrets of doom and despair.
For Tharûdrim, the memory of the Shadowdeep remains a grim reminder of the consequences of unchecked ambition, and its denizens stand vigilant against the encroaching darkness, seeking to ensure that the nightmares that once emerged from the abyss never again plague their proud kingdom.
