The Vulcanix Underground (aka the kingdom of Vulcanix or the Underground) is the Troll Underground, it is a large underground realm (hence it's name). It is a part of the land of Eldritch and is populated by trolls, who are (unusual for other trolls), kind and peaceful, if somewhat crude. The Vulcanix Underground is currently ruled by King Otar Fenris III. The Vulcanix Underground was recently nearly brought to war with it's neighbor Ooga Booga whose leader, Count Vladimir Tsepish, had recently been murdered. Luckily, the two cities had been unified once more when Rosella had discovered Malicia's evil plot.

Background[]

The Vulcanix Underground is nothing but but one big volcano. The trolls were the keepers of the volcano for a hundred generations. If it was ignited, the entire of Realm of Eldritch would blow up.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

While its not exactly clear, the reference to kingdom of Vulcanix, and Vulcanix Underground seem to imply that the kingdom may consist of both the Underground (Underworld), and and the overworld, the volcano itself. Ooga Booga is also a world above the kingdom.[7]

In KQ8 manual the kingdom is called the 'Volcanix Underground'.

The mountain range north of the desert and south of the forest, may be part of the volcano.
