Underdark

Referred as “The Underdark”

Underneath the main Balamb Garden complex is a labyrinth of tunnels, ladders, shafts and strange chambers filled with still running arcane equipment. While initially thought to provide fuel and power to the Garden’s engines, it was determined that the Garden’s ability to fly is entirely electro-magnetic. The machinery here is said to be leftover from Garden’s original form: an ancient Centran shelter, and may be powering itself for some unknown use. While there is no outright rule keeping cadets from exploring The Underdark, it is frowned upon by staff and faculty. Some petitions have been made to clear out the underdark and convert it to useful space, all of which are pending review. Monsters are said to make their homes here.
