#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  the basement is a man-made subterranean ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  environment where you could find such   ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  things as the furnace, the labyrinth,   ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨           reptiles or graves.            ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ often created in good faith, a basement  ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   is nevertheless a way to bring a cave  ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   into your building, and cave things    ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ with it. i've found that it's easier to  ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   think of all caves as the same large   ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   structure, it's just that all parts    ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    might not be physically connected.    ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨      that's what you're inviting in.     ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   hide unsightly appliances, engines,    ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ to hide the true weight (purpose?) of a  ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    a cellar is a more senseful affair,   ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   less intense... made to store things   ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    (food or brews, tools) in a colder    ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms.  ¨#¨¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  perhaps to bury corrupt creatures (not  ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
