Tried revising a few things (including via removing a Chained Sinkhole) and The Man isn't a trope anymore.


->This place had once been [[ShoutOut the seat of an evil older than mankind]] [[Creator/HPLovecraft and wider than the known universe]]. It was a place of pain and suffering beyond human understanding. [...] Originally, there was an old stone church built on this site in 1788, but [[CreepyCathedral the Black Church]] swallowed up the old sanctuary the way it has swallowed our minds. Now there is nothing left of what was once here, except the mosaic of our Lord and Savior above the front door. Some believe the old sanctuary still exists somewhere, [[SealedGoodInACan trapped inside this evil edifice]]. It's primeval inhabitants were a [[EldritchAbomination murderous race of creatures]] whose vile existence contaminated time itself, afflicting history with their sadistic wickedness.

->Some say that [[EldritchLocation Dystopia]] was once the spirit world of the perfect city, a spiritual dream of society's grandest goals. In ancient times, this world had different names, such as the Polis or the Mir. [[TheMan The Technocracy]] - or [[FallenHero its fall from grace]] - changed humanity's visions of the cities of the future. Few visionaries subscribe to the ideas of [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas garden cities of tomorrow]] any longer. As the Technocracy imposes its edicts on humanity, the dream of a brighter future through science crumbles. The declining quality of life in modern cities has transformed [[ShiningCity a spiritual monument to the best aspects of society]] into a testament to [[WretchedHive the worst elements of the Urban Age]].

->'''Max''': Yeah but even before the first white settlers colonized this area, this strip of land already had a bad rep.\\
'''Jay Jansen''': Sure, Max.\\
'''Max''': Mm-hm, for centuries the ancient Indian tribes used to live around this area, would NEVER set foot on this side of the underground creek, even back then they said the land was unclean.

->''In a distant, faded memory, on these faraway, remote lands, there was a dream. A dream of a peaceful Russia, free from all strife and suffering, under the caring guidance of one of God's many servants, a son of Men himself.''
->''However, God's favor was not enough to protect him, and the land suffered under a usurper, who used of His name for a tragedy beyond understanding.''
->''[[red:Now, from this cradle of hope, all that lies is poison and death, for God dare not give Russia a false hope again]].''

->Blessed with fertile plains, navigable rivers, abundant forests and majestic mountains, the lands of the East appear to be a paradise. Beneath that rich beauty, however, lies a sickness that infects every inch of the lands, even as it imbues the earth with [[PlaceOfPower a mystery and magic]] that [[SchmuckBait drives successive waves of would-be-conquerors to possess it at all costs]]. Those who inhabit the lands [[HopeSpot seem to prosper for a while]], but even the strongest eventually succumb to the miasma of corruption cloaking the earth.
->Somewhere beneath the Old Country's soil [[SoulJar lies the midnight-black heart of the demon Kupala]]. Each beat of his mighty heart spews forth greater malignancy: hatred, bigotry, terror, unnatural desire, rage, corruption and infection.

->'''John Constantine:''' Spare me your papal infallibility crap. [[DirtyOldMonk You've abused your position as much as he ever did]]. That room's a black box that's seen some of the nastiest shit ever perpetrated over the last five hundred years. That kind of thing leaves a stain om a room... and maybe [[HellGate something got a whiff of it]].

->'''Nefertari:''' It's [[HumanoidAbomination Akhenaten]]'s doing. [[MysticalPlague His sickness]] remains, festering. Our efforts have come to naught.
->'''Moutnefert:''' All the waters of the Nile could not wash away the black disease. All the waters of the sea. It comes from beneath, and within my gardens, [[ApocalypseCult those who worship Aten]] dig down to it. I fear what they might uncover...

->'''Father Grimaldi:''' The room was set apart from the world by papal decree! Whatever takes place in there, it is no sin... not in the room.
->'''John Constantine:''' "Nothing is forbidden, everything is permitted." Sounds like my kinda place... 'Cept, d'you know ''which'' pope it was who "set the room apart from the world" as you put it? UsefulNotes/PopeAlexanderVI... otherwise known as Roderic Llancol De Borgia. Yeah, that's right. ''Those'' Borgias. He wanted somewhere to [[PedophilePriest rape little boys]] without being damned for it - so he found a way to hide the room from ''God.''

->Now [[SatanicArchetype Melkor]] began the delving and building of a vast fortress, deep under Earth, beneath dark mountains where the beams of Illuin were cold and dim. That stronghold was named Utumno. And though the Valar knew naught of it as yet, nonetheless the evil of Melkor and the blight of his hatred flowed out thence, and the Spring of Arda was marred. Green things fell sick and rotted, and rivers were choked with weeds and slime, and fens were made, rank and poisonous, the breeding place of flies; and forests grew dark and perilous, the haunts of fear; and beasts became monsters of horn and ivory and dyed the earth with blood.
