The Realms Below are the supposed strata under the Material Plane, a place of pressure, weight and old power rather than fire and torment. Some texts insist the [[Sleepers]] lie there, coiled around forgotten laws of the world, their presence felt in warped magic and unsettling bargains. Little is known for certain; even the boldest scholars write of the Realms Below with guesswork and caution, and most people treat them as a story to frighten children and arrogant mages.
