As they walked through the secured entrance and into the depths of the Old Trunk, Dale and Testros were given a small lesson into the survivors' conditions together with where they were as a way to break the ice after a tense first meeting.
They were currently in an area called, the UnderRoot, a complex system of passageways that were built alongside and inside the roots of the Ancient Tree that was once the Old Trunk.
This system was only possible thanks to the nature of the roots themselves, being mostly hollow while being thick and wide enough to allow people to walk through them, albeit most of the time, they were large enough to allow multiple carts to move alongside each other at the same time.
Although, the further away from the trunk you went, the thinner they became.
