Exploration of the Depths of Death

Whenever Anducar disappeared for long periods, he would use this time to explore the Depths of Death. This region was feared among the inhabitants of Menelgond as the souls of the dead were roaming there and it was said that no one who entered would ever return. Anducar, however, discovered these legends to be untrue. Yes, the souls of the dead were indeed bound to this place, but it was also possible for the living to wander the area — and return.

The largest area in the Depths of Death was a rocky desert, where the harsh Winds of Doom blew strong. In this place the illumination was not derived from the light of magic, but instead from the shimmering of the souls. Anducar's path led him through deep canyons and across gloomy mountaintops before he eventually came upon the Abyss of Souls. He gazed into the depths, slowly letting his eyes raise to the summit of a mountain that rose from the chasm. This would be a suitable location for his future stronghold.

From this position he could not only rule over the living in Menelgond, but also over the souls of the dead. Soon he would become powerful enough to overrun the entire upper world. Anducar returned to Menelgond and decided to subjugate the people of Menelgond before undertaking his plans for the Depths of Death.
