Geography
The land of Hallownest covers a vast network of caves and tunnels, expanding downward from the valley where the town of Dirtmouth sits. The surface is delimited by the Howling Cliffs on one side, a natural border to the surrounding wasteland. On the other side, the Crystal Peak towers the town. The Forgotten Crossroads below Dirtmouth were fitted with roads and bridges, storerooms and elevators, for the passage of travelling goods and bugs across the entire Kingdom.

The caverns expanding below the cliffs are overgrown with luxuriant vegetation, and each with its own ecosystem. Greenpath is covered in leaves and moss, dotted by the Pilgrim's Path leading to the Kingdom's capital. The Fog Canyon is infested with bulbous creatures, and the Fungal Wastes with noxious mushrooms. The Queen's Gardens are the vestiges of the Kingdom's orderly transformation of these green caves.

The mountain's caves contain growing deposits of energy crystals. Below lie the wide caves of Hallownest's Resting Grounds, filled with tombs and a subterranean lake. Deeper is the largest cavern in the lands occupied by the City of Tears, the kingdom's fallen capital surrounded by water. It rests upon the Royal Waterways, a network of pipes and cisterns to manage the city's wastes.

Bordering the kingdom underground on one side is Deepnest, a dark network of cramped tunnels and chasms. On the other side, the city is sealed from the Kingdom's Edge and The Hive by a giant wall. The Edge consists a high chasm and wide caverns covered in perpetually falling white ash. The Hive is the artificial habitat built by a colony of bees.

At the deepest point of Hallownest is the Ancient Basin, forgotten caverns where the Kingdom's monarch built his White Palace. Further down is the Abyss at the heart of the lands' darkness.
