Underrealm environment
Underrealm environments are vast.[2]
- Caravans should be able to operate as they do above ground.[2]
- If there's insufficient room for Dragons, another mount type may be utilized.[2]
- Burrowing mounts are being considered as an alternative to flying mounts in the Underrealm.[3]
One of the important aspects of color play is going to be the distinguishing factor between different Underrealms and the regions that exist in the world: Their color influences set them apart from different regions.[4] – Steven Sharif
Seasons above ground will affect the Underrealm.[2]
- This will not be a one-to-one correlation: for example, it won't snow in the Underrealm.
- Tunnel flooding and other effects will be related to the weather above ground.
The seasons above ground will inform what happens underneath. I mean, it's not going to be a direct one-to-one correlation right, not like it's going to be raining in the underworld, but you will see the effects from above happen down below: You might find tunnels being flooded.[2] – Jeffrey Bard
Underrealm nodes
Underrealm nodes and nodes directly above them are considered adjacent but do not exist in the same ZOI.[5][6][7]
- There will be "bleed over" between underrealm nodes and surface nodes in terms of influence and interaction.[6]
- There may be visual cues above ground that indicate influence from underrealm nodes in that area.[6]
That might be a little bit of a departure from our design in the past. I know originally like two-plus years ago we were discussing how those would be independent of each other, but I think as we further defined the layout of the world map itself it made more sense for those to have some interaction and influence that's combined.[6] – Steven Sharif
- Caravan routes will go underground.[8]
- Node sieges occur in the usual manner.[9]
- There will be underrealm Metropolises.[10]
Underrealm resources
Resources will be different in the Underrealm, including unique species of fish.[11][12][2]
- This will affect professions such as fishing, farming, and animal husbandry.[11][2]
- Since players may only have one Freehold, they must choose their Artisan specializations accordingly if they wish to place it in the Underrealm.[2]
