The Delvings
There are a series of cities beneath the mountains of Gramel filled with Deep Gnomes, Dwarves, Stone Elves and Myconids.
The Delvings start from a tunnel at the back of The Fringes
The tunnels are lit with phosphorescent fungus. There are rails and pulley systems moving things around.
25 minutes down the tunnel and it ends at an enormous almost spherical void. Partly natural, partly worked, it's filled with houses, temples, lights, lanterns. It is filled with music, noise of mining machinery and tools. There are pools of water in the distance. There appear to be neat rows of plants, which look like an orchard. There is a vast pit surrounded with a fence in the middle of the builings. This is the Upper Delvings, a small city underground.
There is a winding stone path which heads down the pit towards the Middle Delvings.

The Middle Delvings
The Middle Delvings is much less touristy and more mining oriented than the Upper delvings. At the bottom of the pit is a large mirror like pool, called the Shatterglass Pool. There is a stone bridge that goes the whole way over the pool. On the opposite site of the bridge to the buildings is a large fungal forest. The air seems to be filled with fungal spores which seem to be slightly hallucinogenic and might be flammable!
Beyond the forest is a long and winding tunnel that seems to leads to Breachport and The Breach, a stone gateway between the Middle and Dark delvings.
The Dark Delvings
Beyond the breach is the Dark Delvings.
The tunnels here are much more windy than above. The safer tunnels are marked with large grooves on the floor. Apparently the tunnels often seem to move/change.
The main tunnel from the Breach drops steeply down from here and is difficult going.
Below the breach there is cultivated moss on the walls of the tunnels which tends to be on the right hand side of tunnels when descending. When heading back towards the breach, this moss will be on the left.
