- The Underworld is Hades' realm and base of operations.
- The Underworld is often a gloomy, depressing realm, if only because it is often depicted as being Beneath the Earth. (The fact that people go there after they die might have something to do with it, too.) Still, it isn't evil. It's not Hell. All of the dead come here, whether they were saints, total jackasses, or just kinda so-so in life. Some versions of the Underworld judge the dead and grant them different living standards (or unliving standards, if you prefer) depending on their conduct in life. In others, there's no real judgment, and life--or whatever--continues much as it did before. Possibly they receive, in due course, a chance to go back.
- The Underworld, also known as Hades, was hidden deep in the earth and was the kingdom of the dead. It was the location of the afterlife in Greek mythology. It is not to be confused with the god, Hades, its ruler.
- The Underworld is a programming term used by Jagex to describe the area visible beneath the surface of water in RuneScape. The Underworld was developed as part of RuneScape High Detail, which included a redesign of the game's water mechanics. Everything visible beneath a water surface is programmed within The Underworld. Objects such as reeds, boats, rocks, and shorelines are some of the most frequent examples, although many others exist.
- After being granted access to the Underworld by the Voice of Grenth, you will find yourself next to several ghosts (Gwen's mother Sarah, among others), one of whom will offer you the quest Clear the Chamber. It is recommended to first kill all monsters in the surrounding area before accepting this quest. As soon as you accept the quest several doors will open, allowing you to further explore the Underworld (after you have defeated the hordes of Grasping Darknesses that will swarm you as soon as the doors are opened).
- The Underworld, also known as Hell, is the bottommost Biome in the game, reached by digging past the Stone Layer. The Underworld can easily be differentiated from other biomes due to the background wall changing to a lava vein pattern. The Underworld begins at around 1000-1500 on small worlds, 3000-3200 feet on medium-sized worlds and around 5000 feet on large worlds, but it may start at around 2000-2500 feet in medium worlds in some instances.

Objects such as reeds, boats, rocks, and shorelines are some of the most frequent examples, although many others exist. Prior to the addition of RuneScape High Detail, water surfaces were presented as repeated textures, with no actual motion or depth. Plans to change the water mechanics of RuneScape existed for some time prior to RuneScape High Detail, but a number of ideas were considered at length before the development of The Underworld was settled upon. Map squares typically have five levels, with the surface usually being level 0 and roofs usually being level 3. Most "underground" areas and dungeons are actually on level 0, but a long distance to the north of the rest of the world (this can be observed using map markers). The Underworld is located on level -1, so as not to interfere with the game's teleportation programming (which usually places players on level 0).

See also Heaven and Hell, the Underworld's more exclusive counterparts. Despite its normally neutral nature the Underworld, especially the Greek Mythology version, is susceptible to being Hijacked by Jesus and becoming Hell.

- The Underworld, also known as Hades, was hidden deep in the earth and was the kingdom of the dead. It was the location of the afterlife in Greek mythology. It is not to be confused with the god, Hades, its ruler. Geographically, the Underworld was considered to have been surrounded by five rivers: the Acheron (river of woe), the Cocytus (river of lamentation), the Phlegethon (river of fire), the Styx (river of unbreakable oath by which the gods took vows and hatred), and the Lethe (river of forgetfulness). Past the rivers, a diamond gate, guarded by Cerberus, formed the entrance to the kingdom. Deep within the kingdom, lay Hades' vast palace, full with guests. Upon death, a soul was led by Hermes near the entrance of the underworld, where the ferry awaited to carry it across the Acheron. There was a single ferry run by Charon, the boatman who took the souls across the river. Only those who could pay the fare with coins placed on their lips when buried, were granted passage; the rest were trapped between two worlds. After the boat ride, the souls entered through the gates;Cerberus allowed everyone to enter, but none to leave. The souls then appeared before a panel of three judges, Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus, who passed sentence based on their deeds during their previous life. The souls who were good went to the Elysian Fields, while the others were singled out for special treatment; Sisyphus and Tantalus are two examples of souls that were sentenced to be tormented for eternity.
- The Underworld is the home of the Zuree and the Zeti. It is a Wild Land of Destuction ruled by the Litch himself.
- The Underworld, also known as Hell, is the bottommost Biome in the game, reached by digging past the Stone Layer. The Underworld can easily be differentiated from other biomes due to the background wall changing to a lava vein pattern. The Underworld contains mostly intact buildings called Underworld Houses, which may contain Pots, Hellforges, and any kind of chest. Prior to 1.2, these houses were frequently very damaged or partially complete. The Underworld is the only biome where Hellstone, Ash Blocks, Hellforges, Fireblossoms, Shadow Chests, and others may be found. Healing Potions can be found in Pots instead of the Lesser Healing Potions that tend to be found in other areas. Additionally, it contains stronger enemies than most other pre-hardmode biomes. The Underworld begins at around 1000-1500 on small worlds, 3000-3200 feet on medium-sized worlds and around 5000 feet on large worlds, but it may start at around 2000-2500 feet in medium worlds in some instances.
- The Underworld is where souls are brought after their physical form dies.
- There are entrances into the Underworld around Greece, like swimming to the bottom of the Alcyonian Lake, or through some caves. Or Hades just opens the earth and comes out. Some of the entrances lead to the river Styx that has to be passed before getting into the Underworld, but Charon, the ferryman, doesn't like taking living people or people without a toll across.
- The Underworld is Hades' realm and base of operations.
