The **Underworld** is the closest habitable area to the center of the world, and the first realm to form during the planet's creation.

## Lore

The Underworld Kingdom refers to the inhabitants of the Underworld, namely Demons. The Underworld consists of the former worshipers of the Brimstone Elemental, who were gifted with Fire and Brimstone magic. From its creation, the Underworld Kingdom slowly began to divide into two groups. Those who saw the Brimstone Elemental as their divine God, and those who knew better, harnessing Her blessing for their own benefit. These two groups would eventually declare war on each other, initiating many battles, during which, millions were slain. As more and more of her subjects were killed for her cause, the Brimstone Elemental grew ever weaker, and increasingly furious. The battles only began to stop once both sides had lost more than they had left. What remained of the two groups of Demons parted ways. Those still loyal to their progenitor chose to stay close to her resting place within the Brimstone Capitol, while those who were not lived far away, and greatly distanced from each other. The Kingdom existed this way for several millennia, until Yharim took power.

The Tyrant despised the Underworld, as it was the place where his family was burned alive for a crime they shouldn't have been responsible for. However, from it, he ended up drawing his most feared weapon of mass destruction, Calamitas. Once she had been well taught, the Tyrant would have Calamitas demolish her old home, city by city, until the population that remained became a pitiful few. The Brimstone Elemental was stripped of her divinity and influence entirely as most of what remained of the population went feral from years of isolation and starvation. No longer seeing any value left in the rocky center of Terraria after Calamitas's massacres, the Tyrant shifted his focus away from it, leaving none other then Cthulhu's Remnants to establish dominance over what little remained in the form of the Wall of Flesh. From the creation of Terraria to the present day, the Underworld went from a beautiful world full of exotic crystals and awesome beasts, to a charred wasteland on the brink of death, flooded with unforgiving lava and inhabited by little more than monstrosities stripped of any purpose aside from their primordial urge to survive and reproduce.

## Sub-Areas

### The Brimstone Crag

The Underworld capitol, once a prosperous city until it was ravaged by Calamitas so many years ago, leaving nothing but a charred wasteland and a swarm of vengeful demonic souls. It was where the Brimstone Elemental would lie in fury, having been rendered helpless after the genocide of her people. To this day, the city remains an ominous symbol of Yharim's might, and the cruel fate that haunts his enemies.

### The Obsidian Ruins

The Obsidian Ruins are the remains of the other vast Hell civilizations ravaged by the flame of the Tyrant's hatred, most holding little to no survivors, all that remains being charred furniture and grim paintings.
