Deep under the main Fortress lays the true heart of the once booming metropolis. Most of the caverns and tunnels have long collapsed or become too dangerous for any living creature to explore. The tainted swamp water has seeped through the earth and corrupted nearly everything in the underground city.
The tunnels go everywhere, winding around each other and leading to secret chambers. One could liken it to an ant colony with how intricate the underground maze is. However complicated the layout of the underground labyrinth may seem, it is quite easy to navigate. All tunnels eventually will lead to the main chamber hidden deep under the fortress. One would never know this chamber exists buried in an island because of the vast expanse. Lining the outer walls of this chamber are many stairs and tunnel openings. There are a few platforms on each level, each serving a different purpose. In the center of this open space, not touching any other surface than the ground level, is a humongous statue of a dragon with wings outspread and maw open wide (It is hundreds of yards tall). The statue has been untouched by time. The intricate details in the craftsmanship of the carving are simply awe-inspiring. It is so realistic, the stone dragon looks as if it could spring to life at any moment.
At the base of this statue is a round plinth that is nearly as big as the hallowed cavern. All around this plinth are doors that appear sealed shut. Each door has an epigraph etched in a language unreadable to modern Pae.
