¨¨¨###¨¨¨¨ 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.     ¨¨¨¨###¨¨¨

###¨¨¨#¨##  the purpose of a basement is often to   ¨¨#¨##¨¨¨¨
#¨##¨¨¨¨##    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  ¨¨#¨##¨¨¨#
