Catacomb(KAT-uh-kohm)

Quick Detail: Catacomb is an underground passage or chamber used for burials, often part of a maze-like network beneath the ground.

Definition: A catacomb is a network of subterranean corridors used for burials or memorial spaces. The passages are often narrow and dim, shaped by stone and time. Catacombs can feel maze-like, where direction becomes uncertain after only a few turns. Their atmosphere is defined by still air and deep quiet. The word suggests hidden depth beneath the living world.
