The deeper you go, the more otherworldly it becomes, and if you delve too greedily and too deep, you could end up digging a hole all the way to the Abyss. The Faewild is definitely another plane, but crossings to it are more commonplace the further you get from civilization, so it’s not uncommon to end up there by accident while traveling through the wilds. It acts as sort of a border plane between the material world and the elemental planes, and space there works more by the laws of sympathy than physics - the more attuned you are to fire, the closer you are to the plane of fire. Sages who study such things speculate that the underworld is actually just another part of the Faewild, which by nature of being underground makes it closer to the plane of earth and to the land of the dead. This also explains why barrows are often fae crossings.</blockquote>
