The Dying Fields
Band A · The Land of the Dead · depths 1–100
Enemies of The Dying Fields
A floor of this zone is a road of packs drawn from these 9 monsters, led by the depth's named one. Their numbers climb with depth, not with the name. Every 100th depth is a boss gate, and the boss leads that floor instead.
The zone's element is chaos: every monster's blow is a mix of damage types and carries a share of it — most of a Mage's blow, a sixth or so of everyone else's beside their type's own. Each name reads as a type — what every type carries and asks of you is under the Bestiary.

Pick a depth to see its card: the monster that leads the floor, its numbers and its modifiers, as the game rolls them (needs JavaScript).
The depth's card
The card of a few depths across the zone, as the game rolls it: the numbers every body of that floor is built from. The leader carries 80% of the card's health and 60% of its damage, with the card's modifiers; the pack's bodies carry a share of it without them. Modifiers are rolled per depth; the ones shown are what that exact floor's leader carries.
What those modifiers do
BRUTE- +30% health and +10% damage, but swings 35% slower — rare, heavy slams
Every modifier, with the rules for how many a floor can carry, is listed under Enemy modifiers.
Boss
The Gravetender holds the gate at depth 100. A boss's card carries more health and damage than the depth's regular monster; the exact numbers are on each boss's page.

This is where every delver starts. Clear the last gate and The Silent Necropolis opens at depth 101.
