Ten People You Meet In The Undergarden is a new Troika! Sphere presented in the form of ten new NPCs. They are a strange and wonderful bunch, each occupying a location in the Undergarden, a possibly subterranean world of clerical bugs, stoic knights, pushy sales-cats and at least one talking hedge maze.

Structurally, Ten People is 14 pages (a lot of which are double-page spreads, so technically 25 pages in print,) and it has off-the-charts good layout and illustration.
Traveling across the spheres can be exhausting. Kick back and relax with a cocktail by the beach in the Pastel Paradise. This is a vacation sphere for Troika!
