Level 07 - The Council[edit]
The very secret Council of the Undercity meets far, far under the surface. Although remote, the place offers many amenities, such as a canteen and an entertainment room. If you are worthy, you may be granted an audience from the Council, the Chamberlain, or even the Oracle. If you are wise, you will not seek to meet Solune, the Dark Councillor, however. The unique compass "Learning Advisor" says "SHAPING OPPORTUNITIES" when examined on this level.Places:
- The Officers' Canteen: unlimited food and water as well as some hidden things. See also here.
- The White Chambers.
- The Circus.
- Solune, the Dark Councillor.
- The Prison, where the Dark Councillor keeps his victims.
- The Council.
- The Torture Chamber: a nice shortcut to the Emerald Level below.
- The Portals and the Moria entrance, a nice shortcut from levels 5 and 6 above to other levels.
- The Oracle reachable from downstairs only. This room is worth the Emerald Key needed to open it! Get a fifth character for your party!
- The Tower of Mampang.
- The Cruel Pit from the Spiders' Level

COUNCIL PRISONNERSFIRE DEMON
Almost reptilian, yet born out of fear,
Users of magic when heroes come near.
With eyes ablaze and sharp-spiked tail,
They try to make your courage fail.
Come close to one and you will feel
The aura of their hearts,
And see within your mind's own eye
Such things that boldness departs.
SPECTER
Death afoot,
bound in dark light,
They wield no weapon but undead might.
Risen from death with their deathly brothers,
They draw their strength from the life of others.
Although these spirits drain you so,
And feel no earthly touch,
Know that magic things,
to them,
Can quickly be too much.

Small though it's their foes who cower.
