	The only known contact between the Duani and the surface dwellers comes from [[Jake Omaze]], who recounted ~~a fantastic tail of~~ meeting them and living among them for several years.

Linguists have studied what he recounted, and declared it to be genuine. Since Jake did not have the education required to invent a language on his own, it is generally agreed that his account of the Duani is true.

	The Duani most likely entered the Duat somewhere around the end of the [[Mage Wars]]. Their oral tradition told ~~og how~~ they were driven there. The Duani do not believe in the existence of the surface, claiming the caves they occupy are in a "magic"level: if one climbs too high, the caves become dry. Too low and they become flooded.

	The Necromancers built at least five large cities(populations over 1 million) deep in the Duat, some as far as nine miles underground. These cities were not self-sufficient and relied on food brought down from the surface. They were mostly mining operations or staging areas for same, and when the mines eventually ran out, the cities were de-populated.

	It is also know that the Necromancers built several large monuments and massive tombs in the deep places. In one instance, an entire artificial mountain was supposedly constructed on the surface to seal in a necromancer of such great power, he had nearly ascended to godhood.

The Duat consists mainly of many underground tunnels, rivers, caverns, lakes, and even oceans. There is rich plant and animal life, including apex-predators such as the [[Basilisk]] and the [[Galgan]].

			The bulk of known or explored portions of the Duat are found under mountain ranges. Few, if any tunnels are thought to exist beneath the plains regions of the Greater Continent. The tunnels are thought to extend under all mountainous regions, though they have not been explored.
