✨ Underground City — Fantasy Trope Guide

Underground cities offer world-builders a complete alternative to the surface: different light, different economy, different mythologies, different threats. Fantasy's subterranean civilizations often carry the weight of exile, refuge, or resistance — communities that went underground for a reason and built something remarkable in the dark. The contrast with the surface world above is always part of the story.
