Tunnels of Nidaros

The Tunnels of Nidaros is a region that connects the Immerium with the Hemnerei. It’s located in the nowadays City of Nidaros, in The Kingdom of Valreach. It’s the only path that is known to cross from the Hemnerei or “The Overworld” directly to the Immerium.

It’s a very unestable place, both on temporal and spacial experience. It’s entrance, even though its known that must be around the the most lower layers of The Caves of Nidaros.

Disturbed minds and souls on Nidaros have experiencied dreams and other oneiric experiencies about the tunnels. Among the most common stories about those experiencies we found: Traveling around the tunnels without any route at all, being followed by different entities, falling down an abyss.

Layers of the Nidaros’ topology
The Mountains

The Mountains are the more exposed layers of the Nidarosean Topology. On the mountains we can find very calmed places. Ancient Shrines to praise the gods can eb found there. Also houses of the local Nobility and The Castle of Nidaros

The Surface

The Surface is considered to be everything composing the surroundings of the city around the walls. Farms, roads and the walls themselves can be found there. The Southern face is slightly higher than the northern one, more flat and open.

The River

The River of The Segrespent flows inside the Mountain, entering from the border with The empire of Simulamu, through the easter gates until it reaches the western one and goes back to the surface. The river is near the same layer as the Surface and outer rings of the city. On the river we find the Heart of the City, its main buildings and housing.

The Caves

The Caves make up a large part of the Nidarosean topology. From some open access from the mountains, connections to enter the river from the surface to the

The Mines

The Mines are a system of wells and horitzontal tunnels made by the locals to extract resources. The wells go deep into the rock and they conform the lower mapped points of the city.

The Tunnels

This region would be between the limits of the Hemnerei all the way down until the gates to the Immerium. It's believed that The Mole King, spirit serf of Caligo. The tunnels are phisically very different to the Caves. These, according to the legends and dreams about it, are clearly handmade. The tunnels themselves form a very inestable region in matters of natural progression of the space and time.

The geometry of the strucutre makes it impossible to map it. Every attempt of doing so ended up in the explorers getting lost, not even being able to get into the tunnels, or, the most exceptional, the explorers returning as empty vessels, without soul.

The Abyss

The abyss is what lies beyond the tunnels. It leaves the Hemnerei and becomes a straight access to the Immerium. The well to the abbyss is located in the lowest chamber on the tunnels. There's no record of people getting into there. It appeared in dreams from Nidaroseans.
