Overview

Drawn from The Maps of Myrist — Netherbian Lair zone description.EQ1Primary · official

These caves connect Shadow Haven to Sanctus Seru and Dawnshroud Peaks through winding passages that have a tendency to branch out into dead ends. It is patrolled and maintained by Inquisition forces, who keep the path fairly wide and free of ambush points. Signs of Inquisition engineers in the construction of Netherbian, can be found in the use of ornaments, architecture, and banners similar to what is found in Sanctus Seru, though these passages are not as well-kept as the former.

Before the arrival of the Luclin Combine Empires, a society of grotesque creatures called the Netherbian dwelled in these caves. Although their numbers have dwindled since the arrival of the Inquisition, many have somehow managed to survive.
