Undertown

Undertown

Undertown is a fictional city-state in Paul Stewart's series of books, The Edge Chronicles. It was founded when the many different species throughout the Edge migrated to form a town underneath the great floating city of Sanctaphrax. The central ethos of the city was that every undertowner was free, to live as he saw best without compulsion or coercion. It is the economic centre of the edgeworld. [cite web

Rulers of Undertown

In the first six books of The Edge Chronicles, Undertown is ruled by the Great Leagues, powerful trading oranisations. The Leagues disband at the time of stone-sickness. In the next two books, Undertown is ruled by the Hammerhead Goblins, who enslave the populace. In the last book, Undertown no longer exists, for it has been destroyed by a dark maelstrom. However, New Undertown has been founded in the Free Glades.
