Unearthed in late winter by a weary buidlooor from the HUB, some archivists argue that "The Caverns Below" marked a turning point near the end of the Second Era of the Bear.

As the renowned archivist Ursula Turing wrote in a letter to a colleague at the OpenCampus:

FOREWORD

"It had been a dark decade, plagued by all the classic apocalyptic earmarks: war, pestilence, death, and FOMO.

With little light to be found between, some began to gather together and fashion their own -- and that was something which could never be allowed to last.

Human nature did most of the work: greed and desperation blotted out the light, until all that foolish new hope unraveled like a cheap rug.

It wasn't long before regulatooors had everything they needed to craft a convenient half-truth: that no one could hodl such promise without compromise or corruption.

Rubbish, clearly -- but it's a simple thing to say that now, looking back, isn't it?

So, as the victooors danced in the digital streets, gleefully declaring the deth of the JPEGs, all that new light was buried away to be kept safe, Below the Third Web."

In this guide, it is my aim to shed some light of my own on the cavernous tunnels that stretch beneath this Third Web -- to help you, anon, understand where those before us came from, and why.

It is not, however, my intent to lay bare all of the mysteries that remain Below, waiting to be discovered -- only to guide you toward points of interest, which might otherwise have been lost within the Ether.
