Tartarus is the ground we live on.
It is the rocks, dirt, metal, and oil.
Once free with explosive energy it now lays dormant, en-caged by the sky, trapped by Nyxmera.
Tartarus loathes Nyxmera.
Whilst Nyxmera only shows apathy towards its prisoner, fueling Tartaurs' bottled rage further.
Tartarus' logo represents Taratrus' power cracking through the scorched earth.
It wants to unleash its power with no concern for others.
## The DOT
The greatest presence of Tartarus is felt underground where Nyxmera cannot see with its eyes.
Here you may find a deep black hole, known as a mouth of Tartarus.
These black holes allow no light to pass through and they lead to the Domain Of Taratarus, the DOT.
Time and space are inconsistent in the DOT.
You may enter and subsequently leave in the past, present or future no matter how long you were in the DOT.
Many fantasitical creatures live in the DOT.
Stories of those lucky enough to escape harken back to tales and myths like Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Narnia, the Fey Wild, The Underdark and many more.
World governments use the DOT as a dumping ground for garbage, scientific waste, and nuclear waste.
This has lead to mutated humans and creatures due to the combination of radiation, chemicals, and the nature of the DOT.
They mostly stay contained in the DOT but occasionally cause havoc on the surface.
## Dotters of Tartarus
Dotters of Tartarus come in 2 main flavours, the surface dwellers and the DOT dwellers.
Surface Dotters live within society as fighters, miners, oil workers, seismologists, and spelunkers.
Tartarus blesses them with its bounties.
DOT dwellers try to desperately survive in the unforgiving underground, made all the stronger for doing so.
Many enslaved and imprisoned people also follow Tartarus due to its hate of encagement.
Dotters fight for freedom with a strong sense of justice.
There is a dark side to Tartarus and its Dotters, greed.
This greed manifests through ruthless capitalism, raids of the surface, destruction of ecology, and prison breaks.
Might makes right for Dotters and although they won't ever imprison anyone, they are not so afraid to use coercion or murder.
## Sub Factions
There are many sub factions of Dotters. The following pages are brief descriptions of various sub factions with stat blocks for different non player characters.
- [Dotters of Tartarus](/Tartarus/Dotters.qmd): Typical Dotters of Tartarus.

- [Taloes](/Tartarus/Taloes.qmd): Animated beings made from the will and bounties of Taratrus.
