I would like to say that it is a world of shadow and light, but only darkness reigns there. The dwarven rune-masters speak of ancient beings - the domain of the Brain Eaters, and a darker and deeper evil still, the Aboleth. Both the Brain Eaters and Aboleth seem to have come from some other world long ago, although when and why is unknown. But it is clear that they harbor dark dreams, and their power over the Under Lands becomes greater and greater. The great wizard, Thanateu of the Jeweled Eye, said to me that he once tried to communicate through mindspeech with an aboleth and withdrew his consciousness in horror at what he saw. It was like a "miasmic whirlpool of mad chaos," he said, "totally alien and unfathomable. If I had not withdrawn when I did, I would have been lost. I have no doubt that these vile beings have machinations of domination." Dire words, indeed.</blockquote>
