The Descent
Location from Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar
Twenty-five levels of escalating insanity beneath Hallowfort — from crystal caverns to floating islands to a desert with a level-1483 sand elemental, each floor a fresh argument against going deeper.
Also known as: Testing Facility Zeta, The Dungeon
What They Know
- The twenty-five distinct levels, their ecosystems, and the creatures that inhabit each — a floor-by-floor danger assessment
- The corruption plague — orange pus from Level 20 that resists all healing, drives creatures mad, and can only be mitigated by Blood Manipulation resistance
- Taleen-era origins — Projects Animus, Fluctuation, and Eden suggest the dungeon was designed for experimentation, not natural formation
- The mana density gradient — each level concentrates more ambient mana, empowering everything within it and making deeper exploration exponentially more dangerous
- The steel structures on Levels 21-25 and the castle/temple at the bottom — architecture from a civilization advanced enough to build inside extreme mana zones
