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

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#  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 ¨#¨¨#¨¨¨#¨

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