Under Aurice, called Lumborissa in the Lucacian Language, is thought to be a warren of stone-walled tunnels and beastly channels underneath the city of Aurice. Various special means are purported to keep flooding out. During the Middle Ages of Chaos, Incarnandists and others who fled from the power of the Dark Prince hid in these caverns and chambers until the liberation of the Fifth Isbajath. After this time, chaos worshipers were hunted and many, ironically, found refuge in these same caverns. Today, the government of the city of Aurice actively seeks to shore up and block any entrances to Under Aurice that are not officially sanctioned, ostensibly for the protection and security of the citizens of Aurice. Two access points are still officially permitted, the engineering and flood controls under the Gubernatorial Palace and the research site the Magitechnic Institute of Aurice (Tellurian College of Magdeology). There is a long-standing and long dismissed tradition that a cavern in the Under Aurice opens up to a great natural channel leading many leagues eventually to Kvarraga.
The city authorities in the past century have worked diligently to have all the entrances to Under-Aurice filled in to prevent any clandestine activities that could be subversive to the state and public safety. Despite this, there are two officially sanctioned systems below Aurice. The first is beneath the Lord-Governor's Palace which is an engineering counter-flood system. The other is for research purposes beneath the Magitechnic Institute of Aurice. All others are either unknown or have been stopped up.
As Aurice is a flotilla of islands in a shallow lagoon, any chambers of air underneath the floor of the lagoon are vulnerable to flooding. Through the centuries clever engineers and cunning wizards employed methods of ensuring that the chambers are water-tight. One such method uses the glutta. A modern method uses the titancraft device called an echydra.
