Land of the Dead
The Land of the Dead is an otherworldly realm/afterlife tied to the Corruption, described in the lore as an underwater deadland ruled by an insectoid entity with 'a brain among the stars.' It can be reached through Rifts/gateways when the right sacrifices and symbolic architecture align. Competing cults fight to either open permanent passages to it or seal them shut.
The Land of the Dead is central to the Tide trilogy storyline. The Demented/Infernal Pact seeks to open lasting passages to it to serve the Sculptor, while the Death Pact tries to understand and close the pathways to the afterlife. The Murmurstone artifact is connected to it. In the Tide of Corruption climax, a bolt cursed with Finch's blood corrupts a gateway, multiplying the Sculptor's connection and unleashing 'Desolation' as the Land of the Dead comes to swallow the bayou.
