Underground City | comment |
A full-fledged city that lies Beneath the Earth. It's a civilian form of Elaborate Underground Base and comparable to an Underwater City. The underground city is more than a collection of refugees hiding in abandoned sewer and subway tunnels; it has markets, mines, homes and possibly even farms (either of mushrooms and stranger fare or sophisticated hydroponics). Typically these cities come in a few flavors: Apocalypse Bunker: A refuge from an apocalyptic threat, thus serving as a City in a Bottle capable of weathering everything short of planetary crust destruction via Apocalypse How scenario. Inhuman Borough: Rather than an impromptu bunker built for convenience's sake by surface-dwelling humans, some non-human or once-human subterranean species might live in underground cities out of preference. Down here you might find Mole Men, Rat Men, Mushroom Men, Dwarves, Goblins, Morlocks or even evolved dinosaur people. Buried City: This was once a thriving surface city that has come to ruin, but also been hidden and preserved to an amazing level underground. Usually thanks to an earthquake. If it was highly advanced it may have survivors in the form of a Living Relic, King in the Mountain, Human Popsicle or Perpetual-Motion Monster. It is possible for these varieties to be combined. For example: a Buried City may still be inhabited and serve as an Apocalypse Bunker, or an Inhuman Borough built by aliens as an Apocalypse Bunker. The underground city is very often a Hidden Elf Village and is only rarely part of a larger network of interconnected cities. Usually each is a one of a kind sovereign and isolated city state. In contrast, one way in which Our Dwarves Are All the Same is that they tend to live in a network of underground cities. In video games, these can be an Underground Level. Compare Under City, which is an old section of a city that was once above ground but is now underground. |

Shin Megami Tensei IV has the "country" of the "Unclean Ones" deep in the depths of Naraku, a demon-infested cavern underneath Mikado. That "country" is actually Tokyo, Japan, which was rendered underground by a layer of bedrock 25 years ago—or about 1500 years ago from the perspective of Mikado—to protect the city from a catastrophic nuclear strike. | |

Made in Abyss: The Capital of the Unreturned in the sixth layer. Nobody knows how an entire city ended up down there, but the few reports that have made it to the surface describe it as a City of Gold. A small part of it, Iruburu, is still inhabited by former delvers who relinquished their humanity to the Abyss or became trapped by the city. | |

The Witchlands has the mythical Lovats undercity, an alleged city built underneath the "modern" Lovats by ancient Earthwitches. Eventually, it turns out that the undercity is real, and Lovats gangs are using it as their hideout. It proves to be a good housing for all the refugees pouring into the city. The reason behind its construction is unknown, but given that Lovats' location is a natural fortress, it might've been built to house surrounding population in times of war. | |

The Dwarves in Might and Magic VII have the underground Stone City as their capital city. Somewhat downplayed in that they also have surface villages and barrows only accessible from above-ground and other barrows (the Nighonians apparently also have great underground cities, as per what is said and what we see in Heroes of Might and Magic III, but the settlements of theirs we actually get to visit are above-ground). The Deyjans also have their capital city, the Pit, underground (unknown how deep, since unlike Stone City getting to the Pit includes going through a teleporter). | |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem Fates, a big example in Nohr is almost the entire population living either in these or in walled towns, if not in places that mix both, because of the incredibly brutal reign of their king and the harsh living conditions. This includes the Nohrian capital, Windmire◊. Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us Shambhala, the home base of those who slither in the dark, which also happens to be an Elaborate Underground Base complete with lasers and Humongous Mechas, with a distinctly Magitek feel to distinguish themselves from any other villains previously encountered in the series. It is rather clearly established that this is where the remnants of the Agarthans escaped and hid since their rebellion against the goddess thousands of years before the game begins. Also there is Abyss, a major setting of the "Cindered Shadows" side story. Located deep under the Garreg Mach Monastery, Abyss is home to the huddled masses of Fodlan and are treated as the church's barely-tolerated secret. |

Isaac Asimov's Robots: Rather than presenting a Layered Metropolis and Mega City like in the books, this game simply says that humans have "moved underground". Exterior shots, however, show a Domed Hometown. The sky is only ever shown in Spacertown because the Earthers have been living underground for so long, they're not used to the fresh air or sunshine. They find the idea abhorrent. | |

Baldur's Gate II has an underground Monster Town, the so called Ghoul Town, below Athkatla. It is reached through the "Pit of the Faithless" inside the hideout of the Cult of the Eyeless, from where those who fail to join the cult are thrown and their bodies become food for the ghouls. The cultists could be argued to live in their own underground city too (although it is more akin to a single excavated apartment/refuge in the Absurdly-Spacious Sewer), which in turn is connected also to a beholder lair which still qualifies from the point of view of beholders. There is an abandoned temple of Amaunator with its last followers dwelling there, which can be reached from a passage in the same area where the cult hideout is. Even further down is the Underdark, where you get wrapped up in an entire plot arc in the drow elven Wretched Hive of Ust Natha, and their neighbours, including a svirfneblin town, a stronghold of mind flayers, and another lair of Beholders. |

Lower levels of Old Chicago in Honorverse are literally a Buried City, having been basically roofed over by the newer construction in the two millennia that have passed since, with much of what is a current city largely recognizable and still well lived-in. The Loop, though deeply underground now, is a lively bohemian quarter, though with a (not undeserved) somewhat seedy reputation, and Soldier Field is a popular venue for political rallies. Going even deeper, on the other hand, is... not recommended. | |

In The Dresden Files, Chicago, as the protagonist puts it, is mostly built on Chicago. Like the Discworld example, the older bits, referred to as 'Undertown', are still accessible, but considering that trolls, vampires, some of The Fair Folk, wyrms, goblins and spirits of the earth live down there and bits of it were used for early testing of the freaking Manhattan Project, even the powerful protagonist tries not to go down there unless he strictly has to. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-110 is a city underneath a farm in New York that was displaced across time, although it was apparently already underground when it was built. SCP-1678 is a replica of Victorian London placed underneath the real London, and intended to serve as an Apocalypse Bunker. The purpose of SCP-752 is to create a perfect utopia underground possessing higher levels of intellect along with the technology they possess. However, their overall goal has cost them their own basic human moralities, and they have developed a behavioral system which contains no self-interest in likeness to ants and fundamentally works for the 'greater good' of society. That being said, containment protocols states that it is best for them to not know the surface above them, as they're no longer considered human and can lead to a total dominance shift in species. Eurtec is an underground European city run by the Global Occult Coalition's less trigger-happy side, which is nonetheless a place of incredible inequality and often a den of crime. |

In Oblivion, this role is taken by Ayleid Ruins, underground dwellings of the ancient Wild Elves. In some cases the above-ground portion of an Ayleid site is no more than a doorway, but underground they can be huge, elaborate mazes with as many as five separate sectors. For the largest Ayleid ruins, getting lost inside is a very real danger. | |

The dwarves of Discworld live in vast, underground cities, and living underground is a part of their cultural beliefs. Vimes visits their capital in The Fifth Elephant, which is reached by elevator and holds a vast mine. He's somewhat displeased to find in Thud! that the dwarves in Ankh-Morpork are starting to build one in the network of buildings that has sunk below ground level, and extremely displeased to learn that their community leaders seem to think said underground city is outside his jurisdiction. | |

Charby the Vampirate: The Orycalope Kingdom was dug into the hills as a series of labyrinths and underground cities. They kept to themselves which meant many of their nearby neighbors were not even aware when the orycalopes were massacred by King Rodericke. Those living nearby did notice that there were suddenly a lot more vampires around as the newly emptied underground cities proved a convenient place to stay out of the sun during daylight hours. | |

World of Warcraft: The capital city of the Forsaken undead is the (aptly named) Undercity. It was originally just a series of sewers and catacombs below the palace of Lordaeron which Arthas ordered enlarged to act as his base of operations. When he departed for Northrend, the Forsaken and Sylvanas Windrunner claimed it for themselves. This is a running theme for the dwarves who have several underground cities, though only one is fully under their control. Ironforge is the home city of the Bronzebeard dwarves and capital city of the united dwarf nation. It's built inside of a mountain ridge and is easily the most well-defended of the original Alliance cities. Blackrock Mountain was originally the home of the entire Black Iron dwarf nation, its walls honeycombed with their dwellings and monuments. When the Black Dragonflight and Old Horde invaded, the mountain became split between their two cities: Blackrock Spire, the old city inhabited by the Old Horde; and Blackrock Depths, a new city carved out beneath the Spire to house the displaced dwarves. Grim Batol was originally the fortress city of the Wildhammer dwarves until it was abandoned due to an "evil taint". Its layout is very similar to Ironforge and there are signs that it extends much further underground than can be visited in-game. The goblin capital of Undermine is built in a series of volcanic caverns and magma tubes beneath their home island. The current state of Undermine after the volcano's eruption is unknown. Ahn'Kahet is an underground city that here and there borders natural subterranean life. It features large, glowy mushrooms, insects of different types and sizes and bioluminiscent birds/bats that fly around. It also contains large number of undead that took over the city as well as the few surviving Nerubians that orginally inhabited the city. While the dungeon itself is fairly linear, players are able get a good view of the massive underground caverns from ledges and combinations of creepy music, darkness and mysterious whispers (courtesy of an Old God under whose range of influence the city is located) make this place quite Nightmare Fuellerific. The former gnome capital of Gnomeregan was such a city until a series of disasters left it an irradiated warzone. As such, the city is now a mid-level dungeon and the gnomes who escaped have set up "New Tinkertown" (after the gnome district in Ironforge) outside the gates of Gnomeregan as their new capital. |

The first is the Land of the Mangaboos, which is a colorful city ruled by Plant People who are Always Chaotic Evil. The second is the Valley of Voe, which is populated by invisible people who have to eat a special fruit to protect themselves from invisible man-eating bears. The third is a wooden city where the Wooden Gargoyles reside. | |

Despite living underground, the monsters have water, food, towns, internet, and a working laboratory. However, it is implied that life underground isn't all that great and the monsters wish to live on the surface again and it can actually happen in the Golden Ending where they see the sky for the first time. | |

In Defiance, most of what was once Saint Louis, Missouri, has become a Buried City due to malfunctioning alien terraforming technology being accidentally released, causing massive cataclysm across the planet Earth. The locals fled and it is uninhabited, though almost perfectly preserved.

Vampire: The Masquerade: The sewer dwelling Nosferatu. If enough of them made their home in a given city's sewers they would eventually begin to burrow and carve out an actual underground home for themselves away from the prying eyes of mortals and vampires. They did this not just to hide their Masquerade breaking Red Right Hand, but to escape the notice of the Nictuku, their cannibalistic "older brothers". In an odd inversion, they didn't dig deep enough. For examples that aren't Nosferatu centered, it's noted that the Sabbat of Montreal take plenty of advantage of the city's Underground City (actually a series of interconnected metro stations, shopping malls, residential centers, and offices), setting up Havens in the disused parts and using the underground sprawl as a convenient place to pick off victims. |

Batman: Arkham City: Wonder City was an Edwardian-era city designed to run on clean Lazarus energy, protected by robot guardians instead of a human police force. Unfortunately, Wonder City failed because exposure to Lazarus leads to insanity. The city was abandoned and eventually built over, but Wonder Tower is still visible and became Professor Hugo Strange's command center during his reign as warden of Arkham City. Ra's al Ghul had created Wonder City after he discovered a Lazarus pit in Gotham back in the late 19th century. | |

Fallout: The Vaults enabled humanity to survive nuclear war in America, but just barely. And they were intended as proof-of-concept models for a Generation Ship that wasn't built in time, hence the various experimental (and often sadistic) situations manufactured. Some weren't even finished, like Boston's Vaults 88 and 114. Fallout 4's "Vault-Tec Workshop" allows The Sole Survivor to build Vault 88 into a functioning settlement, as well as ignore the Overseer's pointlessly cruel experiments. The original Fallout had the Slag AKA Pale Folk underground community, with the inhabitants a group whose ancestors mutated to have pale skin, very sensitive eyes, etc. Fallout 4 has the Institute, a shining, futuristic scientific utopia located beneath the old Commonwealth Institute of Technology.

In Girl Genius, there are apparently multiple underground cities beneath Paris, all incredibly secret and occupied by lost civilisations, apart from the fact that everyone seems to know about them. The two main ones are the Moligarchy, inhabited by a race of Mole Men called the Talpini, and the Silverlands, inhabited by a race of tall, possibly albino humans called the Argurons. | |

Malevolent features one hidden under a hotel in the sleepy town of Leerie, which serves as the base for the Cult of the King in Yellow. It appears that no one actually lives there, however, as the only residence our protagonists enter only houses a dead body. | |

The Hyperion Cantos have the high-gravity world Lusus, where all settlements are for some reason underground "Hives" carved into the rock. These are quite extensive; Lusus is a major center of economic and political power in the Hegemony and subsequently (the detective and central character Brawne Lamia's father was a powerful Hegemony Senator). | |

Foundation Series: During its peak, the (first) Galactic Empire made Trantor its capital planet. It city grew to encompass the world, and developed multiple layers as well. However, the topmost layer is domed over, and ironically creating habitable areas; plant life has even managed to gain a foothold on the surfaces of the artificial structures. Everybody just chooses to live in enclosed sectors. This is inherited behaviour from their ancient ancestors on Earth, as depicted in The Caves of Steel. | |

Paper Mario: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Directly underneath Rogueport is a town built into caverns that Rogueport's Absurdly-Spacious Sewer passes through. Most of the inhabitants of this unnamed town are in hiding from someone on the surface and have fled here because few people in Rogueport know about it. The buildings themselves, however, have existed for at least a thousand years, with the current inhabitants having appropriated the ruins as their living quarters—the civilization that used to live in them was wiped out by the Shadow Queen and left abandoned for centuries, until settlers arrived and built on top of the ruins what would become the current Rogueport. Paper Mario: The Origami King: The southwestern end of Breezy Tunnel is a town inhabited by Monty Moles. It consists of an artificial cavern with wooden paths built into the walls and wooden bridges laid around where necessary. The Monty Moles continue to dig into the walls to expand the town. |

Because all their needs are catered for in the city, over thousands of years their intelligence has atrophied until they have the mental age of children. Their society is also split on gender lines, with the Eymorg being a Lady Land that periodically captures Morg (the tribes of male primitives who live on the frozen surface) for breeding purposes. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In the series' lore, the vanished Dwemer were fond of building these, crossing over with Advanced Ancient Acropolis. Due to their Ragnarök Proofing, many are still standing throughout their old territories, particularly in Morrowind, which was the epicenter of their ancient culture. In Oblivion, this role is taken by Ayleid Ruins, underground dwellings of the ancient Wild Elves. In some cases the above-ground portion of an Ayleid site is no more than a doorway, but underground they can be huge, elaborate mazes with as many as five separate sectors. For the largest Ayleid ruins, getting lost inside is a very real danger. Skyrim has Blackreach, an underground Dwemer ruin so massive it has four separate surface entrances, its own Optional Boss, and an entire castle. There are other, smaller Dwemer ruins throughout the game as well. |

Warhammer Fantasy: The Dwarfs live in enormous, masterfully carved and decorated fortress cities beneath the World's Edge Mountains, as well as in several lesser mountain ranges across the Old World. These generally start out as mining settlements, growing with time into massive, self-sufficient underground redoubts, home to vast numbers of Dwarfs. The Skaven live in an underground empire, vast with tunnels that connect their countless underground cities across the known world, from the jungles of Lustria, to the Old World, to Nippon. Their capital city, Skavenblight, acts as the very center of their underground tunnel network. |

In the Splatoon series, most Octarians live underground in domes designed to emulate the above world. Unfortunately, they're running out of resources; they used to live above ground but were forced underground after a war with the Inklings a century prior to the events of the first game. The first artbook establishes that said domes are actually ancient human shelters designed to shield their occupants from rising sea levels and global conflict, with Splatoon 3's Hero Mode taking place inside one that humanity actually managed to find refuge in, at least until they ended up wiping themselves out anyways. | |

The titular dungeon in Delicious in Dungeon was once the castle and surrounding town of the Golden Kingdom, a prosperous human civilization. One thousand years ago, a Mad Sorcerer sank the whole thing into the ground without a trace as part of a successful and misguided spell to make the inhabitants immortal after the sudden death of its king traumatized him. After it was rediscovered, when people realized the place was filled with abandoned treasure (even the walls were plated with gold), not to mention the prophecy that the one who defeated the Mad Sorcerer would inherit the whole kingdom, it set off a Dungeon Crawling craze. | |

The eponymous Arx of Arx Fatalis is a bunker city built in collaboration by all the races of the planet on realizing their sun was going dark, plunging the surface into permanent winter. The various races have set up their own settlements at different locations throughout the caverns. There are also other bunker cities scattered across the world which sometimes trade with Arx. | |

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Directly underneath Rogueport is a town built into caverns that Rogueport's Absurdly-Spacious Sewer passes through. Most of the inhabitants of this unnamed town are in hiding from someone on the surface and have fled here because few people in Rogueport know about it. The buildings themselves, however, have existed for at least a thousand years, with the current inhabitants having appropriated the ruins as their living quarters—the civilization that used to live in them was wiped out by the Shadow Queen and left abandoned for centuries, until settlers arrived and built on top of the ruins what would become the current Rogueport. | |

The entire premise of Fallen London is that London has been dragged into a cavern a mile below the surface by Eldritch Abominations. It's the fifth city to have received this treatment, and the cavern is vast enough that the are many other cities down there, most predating London. Dig deeper yet and you'll find Flute Street, which is populated by squid men. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us Shambhala, the home base of those who slither in the dark, which also happens to be an Elaborate Underground Base complete with lasers and Humongous Mechas, with a distinctly Magitek feel to distinguish themselves from any other villains previously encountered in the series. It is rather clearly established that this is where the remnants of the Agarthans escaped and hid since their rebellion against the goddess thousands of years before the game begins. Also there is Abyss, a major setting of the "Cindered Shadows" side story. Located deep under the Garreg Mach Monastery, Abyss is home to the huddled masses of Fodlan and are treated as the church's barely-tolerated secret. | |

In Stellaris, one of the many Origins introduced in the Overlord DLC is Subterranean, an Origin that uncaps the amount of Mining districts you can build to the effective district cap of your planet, a special Cave Dweller trait for your species, two extra housing per Mining district (instead of the two you normally get), a building slot every three Mining districts built, and a -75% damage reduction from orbital bombardment. Combined with the right number of species traits, traditions, civics, and technologies, a Subterranean empire is a literal empire of fortresses capable of stalemating anything thrown at it. Downsides include higher upkeep and a slight increase in build times, but otherwise negligible. | |

In Bounders, the Tunnelers' home planet Gulaga's surface is so cold and barren as to be practically uninhabitable. Most Tunnelers live in Gulagaven, a city that barely pokes above the surface and extends hundreds of kilometers underground. The city is terrifyingly unsafe by human standards, with narrow, slippery bridges and ledges extending across and around the enormous central chasm, but the Tunnelers are used to it. | |

The Caves of Steel: Due to resource shortages and overpopulation, Earth's population consolidated into enclosed cities, building underground tunnels to connect one Mega City to another. Earth humans circa 5,000 A.D. were almost universally agoraphobic, because they lived in an environment of corridors and tunnels (the eponymous "Caves of Steel"). The Earth's surface was given over mostly to agriculture, taken care of by robots. | |

In Rimworld, it's entirely possible, if time-consuming, to dig into a mountainside to build an underground colony. Such a base will be easy to defend, immune to Drop Pods or mortar fire, and will enjoy a year-round moderate temperature while ignoring heat waves or even disasters like toxic fallout (especially if you build some hydroponic gardens). But they also present their own challenges: Cabin Fever will impose increasing mood penalties on colonists who miss the sun, careless digging can cause deadly cave-ins, and at any moment a swarm of Big Creepy-Crawlies might come burrowing up out of the floor to build a new hive. | |
