Underworld

Underworld is a region in some religions and mythologies which is thought to be under the surface of the earth. It could be a place where the souls of the recently departed go, and, in some traditions, it is identified with Hell. In other traditions, however, such as animistic traditions, it could be seen as the place where life appears to have originated from (such as plant life and water) and a place to which life must return at life's end, with no negative undertones.
