The underhive is a fickle master (or mistress, for those of House Escher). Untold riches lay hidden for centuries and can be revealed by chance exploration or seasonal hive quakes. Just as easily, entire sectors can be locked away by malfunctioning circulatory or transit systems,
The Mire was renowned as a rare bastion of stability, to the hive dwellers of Cassandra’s Reach. Firm Guild control had allowed everyone to prosper, as much as is possible in the underhive. The functioning mag-lev system allowed such regular shipments of goods that no one realized it had slowly become the only viable transport in or out.
When the mighty play their games, the lowly suffer the consequences. According to imperial records, Medon’s Mire never existed. But tales still occasionally surface, in darkened corners of seedy drinking holes, and in whispered rumors of ruin, hiver’s will invoke its name.
With the ominous sounding of a klaxon, the lower sluice gates closed, and the flow of uphive effluvia began to slowly fill the lower depths. Was it vengeance, wrought by some noble hand? Was it an ancient cooling system being brought back online by a Magos toiling away in the darkness? Was it a sacrifice to a dark god, the slow, gurgling of underhivers strangely pleasing to ineffable plans? For the gangs that were trapped in the Mire, the reasons didn’t matter. Being one of the handful that would find a way to escape was the only prize worth fighting for.
