History
This massive exodus, led by visionary pioneers, marked the birth of underground culture. As they moved away from the battle-scarred surface, their new identity began to crystallize, defined by their adaptability, resilience, and dependence on coexistence with the surrounding subsurface.
Deep geological and bioluminescent caves formed the basis of their unique social structure. They carved their homes and cities into the walls of the caves, creating a network of interconnected metropolises and small settlements spanning the underworld. The glow that illuminated their surroundings symbolized the spark of their newfound independence and unwavering spirit.
The Subterrans focused heavily on technological innovation; dedicated to developing tools and solutions for their underground survival and prosperity. They invented geothermal energy sources, mushroom cultivation systems, and perfected the art of cutting crystals for lighting and communication—advances that became the foundation of their civilization.
As decades turned into centuries, the underground created an indomitable society, a beacon of resilience, ingenuity and solidarity. Still, their hearts throbbed with hunger for a rightful place in the surface world. Even today, the dungeons continue to thrive, their history etched not only in their hearts and minds, but also on the shining crystal walls of their homeland. They bide their time, polished by history, resilient to adversity, and ready to reclaim their place in the Euphoria universe when the time comes. Their past has hardened and strengthened them, giving them the wisdom to understand, adapt, innovate, and conquer—a testament to the survival and evolution of the dungeons deep within the Earth's heart.
