What is The Reach?

The Reach is a lore starter for MÖRK BORG. It suggests the existence of a vast subterranean network of sentient fungal colonies and the structures they have produced both above and below the Dying World.

The Reach is therefore both a living organism and an environment. It offers a campaign setting concept somewhat similar to D&D's Underdark but with incursions, structures, and activity on the surface. 

The Reach is constantly increasing in size. It learns, produces minions, and hosts symbiotic creatures, denizens both hostile and friendly, outcasts and more within its tunnels and caverns. Its lowest depths may even offer passage to other worlds.

Is The Reach a friend or foe? Will it threaten civilization before The Dying World meets its final end? Only the most lucky explorers will find out!
