Formerly several races of them had inhabited the entire underground world, which stretched down to unfathomable abysses and which included besides the blue-litten region a red-litten region called Yoth, where relics of a still older and non-human race were found by archaeologists.

City of Blood
Type: Agenda
Encounter Set: The Depths of Yoth
Doom Threshold: 4
The shrill noise of hundreds of snake rattles suddenly erupts throughout the cavern. You have crossed into territory that humanity was never meant to enter. The earsplitting alarm pierces your eardrums and causes your ears to bleed. Your senses are overwhelmed, and you cover your ears in vain. You cannot hear your own thoughts. Finally the warning ends, and you are left with the uncontrollable urge to flee. However, you know that if you fled now, your actions would endanger all of humanity. Bravely—or perhaps foolishly—you press onward.
If the Harbinger of Valusia is set aside, move it to the pursuit area.
Find the enemy that is in pursuit with the highest evade value, and spawn it at the location where the investigators began at this depth level.

The caverns are no longer quiet. The angry cries and rattling of serpent creatures is all around you now, urging you onward. The cavern’s unnatural red glow becomes more intense. In this red light, the cities of Yoth take on another guise—no longer a source of hidden knowledge, but a place of animosity that resents your mere presence.

Endless Caverns
Type: Agenda
Encounter Set: The Depths of Yoth
Doom Threshold: 4
The path ahead is blocked by a sheer rock cliff. You start to search for a way around when suddenly, hisses and shrieks emerge from behind you, and the area is bathed in orange fire-light. The serpents are coming—one of you must climb to safety and pull the others up!
Find the enemy that is in pursuit with the highest evade value, and spawn it at the location where the investigators began at this depth level.
The lead investigator chooses one investigator to be the group’s scout. That investigator checks his or her supplies.
If the scout has rope, he or she is able to climb up with ease, and the investigators suffer no ill effects.
If the scout does not have rope, he or she must test [Combat] or [Agility] (5). If the performing investigator fails, he or she makes it to the top but suffers 1 physical trauma from the exhaustion of the climb.

You pass through a cracked earthen clearing that once might have been a plaza. Standing half-collapsed in the center of the plaza are the remains of a stone fountain, dry as a bone. At the very bottom of the fountain’s basin is a glob of black syrupy ooze.
Find the enemy that is in pursuit with the highest evade value, and spawn it at the location where the investigators began at this depth level.
Check your supplies. If an investigator has a canteen, that investigator must decide:
—This could be useful. Remember that you have “collected a strange liquid.”
—I’m not going anywhere near that. You suffer no ill effects.
