In Dota: Dragon's Blood
There is no mention of the Underscape in Dota: Dragon's Blood, but a similar dark afterlife does exist in Auroth's poem.


 * Solitary congregants reach for light we cannot see.
 * Beyond the veil, the end of things -
 * shadows dance. Death beckons me.


 * She whispers soft across the void,
 * “Take my hand, be not afraid. I am the Light but in disguise.
 * No death, no shadow.” Love, conveyed.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
The demon Terrorblade is one of the major characters of Dota: Dragon's Blood, but he is the only known demon shown on screen. But it's implied that his evil kin exists in the cosmos in their seven layers of Hell. For crimes unknown, Terrorblade was incarcerated by his kind in Foulfell, where its prisoners are driven mad by their darkest regrets.

On the nature of demons, Auroth shared a rumor that claims demons are made of Direstone, in contrast to the gods who are made of Radiant Ore. The basis of this rumor may come from the concepts aligned with the Dire: chaos and violence, as shown by those who are corrupted by its song. Both are befitting of the demon race, hence the rumor.

Demons like Terrorblade are immortal in a way that death only precedes their reincarnation. In Dragon's Blood, the only way to permanently kill a demon is to kill them in their home hell. For instance, Terrorblade didn't die when his vessels in the material plane were slain since he simply returned to Foulfell only to manifest again to possess another vessel, but was killed for good when Davion shanked him in Foulfell.

Description
According to Terrorblade, Hell is a sieve in contrast to Heaven which is a locked box. Perhaps what he meant is Heaven is far more exclusive than Hell, since Heaven only accepts the souls that have been utterly purified of evil. Even a soul with more good than evil will not be accepted as they still have evil in them, and so they must go to Purgatory to be purified and await entry into heaven. Whereas hell will easily accept any souls who have any amount of evil in them regardless of what good they have, since it's only the evil that matters.

Description
The hidden dimension or plane of Foulfell is a dark mirror of reality lined with fractal walls that keep its prisoners inside. Here, all incarcerated demons are sentenced to an eternity of twisted contemplation by forever gazing into the twisted reflections of their own souls, their own worst self. From this punishment a lesson with no hope of amending from is learned: you are your own worst enemy.

The closest look we have on Foulfell is the Dire side of the map Sanctums of the Divine, which is a dark reflection of the moon goddess-themed, Radiant side of the map.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Along with the Hero it is best associated with, the prison plane Foulfell makes an appearance in Dota: Dragon's Blood. Early in the series before we even see its true form, Foulfell is characterized by its reflective shards. Later on in Book 3, we see the true form of Foulfell which is a generic desolate landscape that only consists of floating rocks in a void with what seems to be a blue horizon (like Half-Life's Xen but not alien), rather than a dimension lined with fractal walls that reflect the worse of its beholder—including reality itself. However, the walls of Foulfell are a mirror (just not a fractal one), as breaking into it causes it to shatter like what Slyrak and Mene did.

In Foulfell, its prisoners are driven mad by their darkest regrets. Prisoners are locked in their own minds as they contemplate on the paths they never took. They may relive the past itself unadulterated or suffer in a twisted version of their past corrupted with the phantoms of those they have wronged.

Description
Little is known about Aktok himself besides being an ancient snake deity who is destined to swallow the world. He has a set of golden decorated armor that's dedicated to him and he has a gilded green eye that bestows vast power to those who wield it. Aktok currently remains dormant until he awakens to fulfill his catastrophic destiny.

Worship
Aktok is worshipped by an obscure cult from an unknown village whose shamans would gather once each season in a certain underground area to offer sacrifices to their god. The village cult (who were all slain and eaten by Lesale) had a greedy high priest who kept his god's armor in one of his rooms in spite of his professed devotion to Lord Aktok. It's implied the cult is oblivious to Aktok's existence in the flesh despite their belief in this god.

Heroes
Fate would intertwine the threads of and Aktok when the former retreated into an underground area sanctioned by a cult for sacrifices to Aktok. Mistaken for the god's herald, Lesale received the offerings and later trailed the shamans to their village to prey upon them. While searching for food in their village, he found a set of Aktok's armor stashed in the late high priest's rooms. The armor fitted him surprisingly well, and later on he found Aktok's gilded eye which infused him with immense power that proved the god's existence.

Trivia

 * The aesthetics of Aktok featured in his cosmetics are inspired by the Feathered Serpent of many Mesoamerican religions, such as Aztec and Mayan mythologies.
