The Underground

The Underground are a series of tunnels running under North Manchester. They're the legacy of Mayor Joyce, who managed to win last election with promises of a subway system that would go under the Morose itself. They got about as far as the river before they realised that the river bed was mostly mud, and wouldn't be able to hold a tunnel unless an exorbitant amount of cash was spent - cash that had been embezzled out of the project a long time ago. Far over-budget, the subway project was cancelled, leaving behind the unfinished subway carts and the maze of tunnels.

Eager to find a domain to call their own, the Chosen Of The Blooded Earth moved right on in. Few outsiders are allowed in, but those who've seen the tunnels claim that they have a...quaint appeal to them. Shanty houses made of scrap can be found here and there, and every now and again beautiful gardens have been grown, seemingly without any exposure to sunlight. Oak trees and amaranth are common, along with the occasional dead mortal.

The original entrances to the Underground were sealed off long ago, but it's possible to get there through the sewers. If a manhole cover is marked with a green tree-of-life symbol, then it's a way into the Underground. The Kindred who live there don't take kindly to unannounced visitors, so be careful.
