 **Nalamanagiji** (local old language for //earthen place//) is the name of a planet (insomuch as its inhabitants are aware that it's a planet, which they aren't) whose civilisation lives entirely underground. The inhabitants are not from a single species, but the result of a cluster of cultures coming together aeons ago, only for a cataclysm destroying the planet's surface forcing the survivors underground. With most of their prior technology simply no longer applicable to the new lifestyle, it fell out of disuse and was ultimately forgotten.

 To the people of Nalamanagiji, the Demon //Adrethyrian// (local old language for //a bitter life's equally bitter death//) swallowed the sun from the sky, stealing with it the day and forcing the culture into the deep caverns they now inhabit. As ways to the surface are not charted anywhere and it would take decades of research and exploration to find a way back out, the surface itself is mythological - as such, the notions of 'sky' and 'surface' and 'planet' are all equally ethereal to the Nalamanagijians.
-The culture subsists mainly from the energy given to them by sunstones, luminescent 'rocks' that really are a collection of (hard and fairly crystalline) living tissue. The largest sunstones are given names, which in turn define the names of whole layers of caverns and subcultures. Mythologically, the sunstones are considered fragments of the sun, like breadcrumbs left behind by a particularly sloppy eater - though it should be noted that the same mythology doesn't go as far as to attribute the sun's ''destruction'' to Adrethyrian. Instead, in stories it is presumed the sun still exists in deeper caverns yet, where the world transitions into the presumedly literal belly of the beast, and a tentatively recurring theme in fiction is its liberation.
