Inhabitants of Yliakum use the animals inside these caves not only for their edible meat, but also useful skins and furs. One can also find ready supplies of fungi and moulds in the caves. The medicinal and other properties of the fungi make them much sought-after. These plants cannot be found elsewhere since there are no other suitable environments for them. Their helpful and healing properties are valuable to the people. In the dark places, there are also deadly and aggressive creatures lurking, waiting for unsuspecting prey. These beasts create serious obstacles for those who venture into the less-controlled and more dangerous tunnels of the Stone Labyrinths. Despite the incredible danger and the threat of forever losing one's way in the endless twists, explorers still risk the journey to find the great sources of wealth that are just waiting for someone clever, brave, or crazy enough.<br><br> | Inhabitants of Yliakum use the animals inside these caves not only for their edible meat, but also useful skins and furs.

If a healthy being is mortally wounded, the body will most often, but not always, vanish from the Living World upon death to reappear in the Death Realm. During the process of transportation, the body is completely healed. This is called a "common" death, and the "deceased" can return to life after passing the trials of the Death Realm. However, if the body is too severely wounded, such as by being instantly burned, infected with [[Ojavedan plague|plague]], poisoned with illegal drugs or consumed in its entirety by certain beasts from the [[Stone Labyrinths]], what is left of it stays in the Living World and the spirit dissipates permanently. This is known as True Death, from which there is no returning.<br> | If a healthy being is mortally wounded, the body will most often, but not always, vanish from the Living World upon death to reappear in the Death Realm.

Death by old age is also a common cause of True Death. In some cases that cannot be explained, healthy individuals will suffer True Death from wounds that would normally send them to the [[Death Realm]]. If a body does not vanish within a short time period, the being is considered to be a victim of True Death.<br> | Death by old age is also a common cause of True Death.

The Death Realm itself is a vast world of its own accord. It does not follow the rules of the Living World, often having odd shifts of gravity and floating structures with no apparent support. Ageing is slowed, granting those in the Death Realm longer “life”. In return those who spend their lives living in the Death Realm will never be able to return to the Living World, or they would instantly perish from old age. Dark Way magic has its source in the Death Realm in the form of the Dark Crystal. The Goddess of the Death Realm is Dakkru; no god can pass through the barrier between the two realms.<br> | The Death Realm itself is a vast world of its own accord.
