Somewhere, under the rainbow..
Beneath the land of green....
Somewhere, under the Oz fields...
There, will the darkness scream.....
Somewhere, over that rainbow..
Where dreams go awry...
Beneath the colored rainbow..
There, will your innocence die.
Such are the derelict words muttered by a Munchkin who barely made it out alive of the hallowed plane known as the Naether. Born of misery and regret of thousands of tortured Mamono souls, few are known to live to escape its feigned clutches. This page is dedicated to the exploration of the Naether Realm itself, the world below Oz....

Overview
Welcome to the Naether!
A Slender appears from the shadows of the Bleeding Tree. "Well, at least that would be the appropriate greeting if there were tourism here. I am Etin, and I will be you guide. Don't worry. I am tame. Unlike my older kin, I won't attack a hide nor hair of any male. Shall we tour?"
Jeiel looks on to the audience. "Yeah, she's.... gotten older by the time you've read this part. (Is promptly kicked by Etin on the shin) OW !
THE Naether, known imperatively as the land of nightmares, exists as an underrealm and stronghold beneath the Oz Kingdom. As it is what is found below the shell world, the collapse of the realm above would result to the destruction of the Naether itself. Common folk dubbed it 'Circe's dumpsite' for a reason: it was where all of her unnatural experiments (deemed failures of Mamono for an amount of reasons) end up deposed and forgotten. Being a scanty, inhospitable realm of random features, it is extremely unsavory to normal humans. Without men to pleasure the lonely monsters here, they had all become sadistic, unnatural beasts with appetites unsatiable, known to ravage any being that sets foot on their territory - while the people who tread it lose themselves to insanity.
Origins
The Naether's creation attributes to the legend of the founding of the Zion - the invisi-states of Oz, Ix and Ev. Iznagmi, the hemaphroditic god of the oasis of Nil, used his/her blood to feed the fertile land and make it suitable for habitation. The blood soaked the earth, fell into the caverns below the oasis, and in that inky blackness, there came a new world - undiscovered and untrodden.
Circe was the first being who entered and inspected the Naether on her early years as Ozian queen. She discovered it was a parallel version of her kingdom, tinted in preternatural monochrome. Compared to Oz, it was empty and devoid of colors - something that caused the despot to crinkle her nose in disgust. She deemed it unfit to satisfy her and left.
A year after, Circe's illegal experimentation began. She regularly toyed with Mamonos from the outside realm and created horrible versions tailored for her tastes. Not many made the mark with her. If anything, she credited most to be absolutely revolting. Telling her scientists to remove them from her sight, the Naether was opened and they were sentenced to lifetime imprisonement on its badlands. Slowly, but surely, the doomed experiments lost their will - and minds - to the Naether's corruption.
When Circe asked for the Naether to be scouted, the results were ...not what she expected. Out of the 100 squad-guard Munchkins she sent, only one was found, singing a song like a deranged psycho. It was then she classed the Naether as a no-travel zone for her subjects - and the highest form of imprisonment for anyone who dared challenge her: to sentence them into the Naether's embrace. Unhindered, the Mamonos in the Naether flourished on their own until the realm became their new home.
Right after this, several cataclysmic events befell the Naether (these will be explained sometime later in this article).
Features
The Naether thrives on refuse energy from the shell world Oz.This is the main reason why the world is tinted in dull colors, depressing anyone of uplifting magical energy upon entry and siphoning unconsciously. The inhabitants called Naetherkin, convert the refuse energy into SE as their quiet mode of respiration and feeding. Animals and plants are also present - except they are more rabid and unreceptive compared to those of the surface, not to mention scarce and monochromed.
One of the many dangers of the Naether is the thought that in every corner, a Naetherkin lurks ready to pounce. It is almost impossible to say there are any safe havens in this realm. Mamonos thrive on land, sea and air, Starved of affection, lust and company, they want nothing more than to rape, their basic urges as monsters controlling their rationality.
Once a wanderer sets foot in the Naether, there is likely a 75% of no escape. (It is said that people teleport into the Naether by accident when they set into deep caverns, chasms, etc.) The realm of horror is set to entrap victims like a maze, with its features shifting in the being's gaze to confuse him/her into never leaving and for the arrangement of being assaulted by its denizens.
Land?
The Naether hosts mountains, hills, plateaus, and other land forms similar to the Oz's features. The higher the altitude, the more energy converges there as a pitch-black miasma. In these places, the negativity is stronger, and is enough to befoul their minds in a matter of 15 minutes or less.It is advisable, then, to stay close to the ground, and keep one's eyes on the path for the land not to lead one astray. There are occasional quakes and pitholes appearing fromout of nowhere, too, so do be careful.
Water?
If you plan to dip in Naether water, don't. It's even more dangerous than traveling afoot. There are oceans and lakes and all other sorts of water forms in the Naether. The problem is, they are inked in black. Also, there is at least one Naetherkin holding the place as a personal fort. One of the more-famous areas is Candle Cove - where water-based Naetherkin live by the hundreds, luring prey in through the countless lights that litter its shores. Pure water is not available anywhere. Should one drink Naether-slake (Naether-realm water), it would accelarate the degradation of a person's madness to breaking point.
Highest Point?
The highest point in the Naether is the Bleeding Tree. With a height of 60 ft, it seems to almost pierce the ceiling of the underrealm. Various aerial Mamono hang by its branches, breeding, feeding and passing away as natural as one may see fit. More fact about the Bleeding Tree will be discussed later. It's an important element here in my home.
(Pulls out a map) I suppose that by this point, there is supposed to be a map of the Naether to make you all more aware of what it looks like. But the great and powerful Yozama lost it.
Jeiel : HEY ! I JUST dropped IT, OKAY?
Leaving?
Oh, I can't blame you. This place creeps the heck out of anybody. But here's the thing:
Escape, as I previously mentioned, is nearly nil. But there are postulated means that are one-shot chances to liberty. First up is the existence of hidden 'portals'. No one knows where exactly are these holes, but it is speculated that if one were lucky enough to find one, easy exit is guaranteed. There is a catch: you won't know where you'll end up. Or when. Some say these portals are wormholes that prevail in the Naether's negative energy. I heard an unlucky case sent him in the realm of the Chaos Demons.
Another is through teleportation. Now, if you're a high-class mage, then definitely, you can pop out of here. Well, the bad thing is sometimes, a Mamono from the Naether hitches a ride and will stalk you afterwards.
Lastly is the lifeblood of the Naether: the Bleeding Tree.
The Bleeding Tree
The Bleeding Tree, at first glance, looks like an upside-down version of a random human MMORPG's World Tree. (Jeiel-sir told me this). However, the roots stick up on the sky and grow blood-red leaves, while the supposed branches stretch on below, foliage-less and gradually merging with the landscape to form the continually-shifting realm. It is the plant that serves as the old connection between Oz and the Naether. Naetherkins are aware that any non-Naether being uses this to teleport from Oz and back.
Folklore states that Oz and the Naether are once had matching, side by side trees of colossal size. Oz had the Cornucovia - an ever-giving tree of life (which notes why it is called the LifeGiver), and in reverse was this one, the DeathBringer. The Cornucovia was destroyed in the height of the aged-old battle between Circe and Harmon Magdalene, as it was protected Emerald City from Circe's forces. When the tyrant assumed position, she had it cut off, and now its stump is hidden off somwehere, with no possibility left of regrowing it. Surprisingly the Bleeding Tree continued to live on despite the disappearance of its parralel, making scientists wonder if the Naether truly is Oz's parralel realm.
The Bleeding Tree has a grotesque growth of heads on its trunk - this was assumed to be Ozian royals and nobles who dared defy Circe's emergence as sovereign, imprisoned and forever petrified on its surface. Their blood had permanently fused with the deathless, ageless plant, giving its scarlet -colored leaves and oozing crimson tree sap (hence the name).
The fallen, crinkled leaves of the Bleeding Tree line up throughout the Naether-earth. This results to the parallel of the Yellow Brick Road - The Path of Bleaves. It has no origin - no end. It spirals around the land itself, designed not to direct anyone but to lead the person away from his current track of mind. If you keep depending on it, evidently one will be driven mad, figuring out where it'll bring you next.
However, walking up the Path of Bleaves will most certainly bring you to the Bleeding Tree, and if you press yourself against its trunk and feed the heads magical energy, it will bring you out of the Naether for good.
NOTE: Some Ozians are unaware, but the Naether stretches past OZ, beneath the allied nations of Ix and Ev. In fact, the entire Zion is resting on top of the Naether, and so if the bottom realm disappears, the top world will crash on its abyss.
"Well! That's an overlook of the Naether! Once more, this is Etin. A pleasure." Etin bows at you. "If there is anything else you'd like to ask, please comment below."
PRINCIPAL LOCATIONS (TO be discussed further)
Quitonne / Quitonne Research and Containment Facility - (directly inspired by SILENT HILL and the SCP Foundation - IS an abandoned town on the surface, and is a research facility below.)
Dys Funland - (directly inspired by Creepypasta ABANDONED BY DISNEY, is a ruined amusement park where crazy and demented Mamono breed and live by the thousands, led by a phantom leader only described as a 'clown')
Path of Bleaves - the pathway littered by dead leaves of the Bleeding Tree, stretching as far as the eye can see in the underrealm. The landmark irself has a life of its own, shifting and turning to prevent people from finding their way in the realm of horror.
The Vein - the realm's five principal rivers that meet on the area known as Belly of The Bleed, wherein each of the rivers are believed to exact one purpose and represent a certain emotion. The main river where all rivers converge is Styx, River of Souls. The rest are Acheron of Pain, Lethe of Oblivion, Phlegethon of Judgement, Cocytus of Wailing, and Viriol of Sin.
Daspire - ruined technological citadel. Daspire is rumoured to be a weapon designated by Circe in ages past to rid of the Naether should it become too much for her to handle.
Devil's Sty - an area in the Naether where industrial run-off, discharge, trash and waste had been left, untampered for nearly a century. Contrary to what it is named, it is only filled with material trash and yet some Naetherkin call it home.
Naether Wastes/Dunes - a desert area in the Naether, covered by a wide expanse of sand dunes. One can get lost by traveling these dunes unguided. It is called for that matter, Den of Deads.
Badlands - ?
