Editing Underworld

{{Locations|Historical}}
A nefarious subterranean realm that ruins the minds and morale of those who enter. '''The Underworld''' extends across a vast territory, being likened to "a world beneath the real [[Enroth (planet)|world]]", and is divided into several levels. Ruled by [[demon|demons]], also home to [[necromancers]], the [[undead]], and other creatures.

It is represented by the {{town|Inferno}}, the {{town|Necropolis}} and the {{town|Dungeon}}.

== Towns ([[Erathia|Erathian]]) ==
* {{town|Castle|noname=}} Point Dume: Located on the third level of the Underworld. Had issues with "enemies sneaking in all too easily".
* {{town|Castle|noname=}} Steadfast: An outpost on the third level of the Underworld.
* {{town|Castle|noname=}} Worthington: Located on the fourth level of the Underworld. The demons engaged in psychological warfare here, launching constant skirmishes and burning buildings to prevent the defenders from sleeping. {{Hn|Tarnum (Knight)|name=Tarnum|0=}} solved this by having the {{Cn|Monk}}s teach his army to meditate.

== Locations ==
* Cerberus Gate: The entrance to the Underworld, located north of [[Meddington]].

== Trivia ==
* It is left open for interpretation whether or not the Underworld demons are [[Kreegan]]. Information from the games and developers provides basis for both assumptions.
* Forces of the Underworld, led by [[Duke Deezelisk]], tried to conquer [[Erathia]] during its first years, but were repelled by [[Rion Gryphonheart]].
* By the end of [[Conquest of the Underworld]], Erathian forces have launched a massive assault that is cleansing the Underworld of demon influence. This ties into it not being featured in any of the games that take place later in the timeline. 
* At least individual demons were still present on Enroth during the following centuries, predating the [[Night of Shooting Stars]]. They inhabit Daemon Caves, featured in {{homm1}} and {{homm2}}.
* In [[Target]], [[Sandro]] also encounters a [[Pit Fiend]] named [[Shalongrarg]]. Although likely part of the recent Kreegan invasion, he, [[Jared]] and their forces may be remnants of the Underworld, since there is a slight possibility that the scenario takes place before the Night of Shooting Stars.
