Warning! Spoilers ahead! Proceed at your own risk!

The Foundations of Decay is a Location in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. It is a large, underground area consisting of caverns and ruins deep beneath Prehevil.

Location

The Foundations of Decay begin by descending a long interstitial ladder from Sewers - Backrooms leading into the northwest of the Foundations of Decay.
For note the Sewers - Backrooms are an intermediary set of rooms connecting mostly to the Sewage Treatment Plant.
On the opposite(NE) side of the room is the entrance to Tunnel 4.
Heading up the malfunctioned elevator shaft in Tunnel 4 brings the player and party out onto an extension of the Foundations: a towering cliff's edge.
This second floor area also connects to 2 separate rooms in the yet further Crypts area. The further west of the 2 Crypts' Nooks has an elevator the player can activate to either return back down to the Old Town - Slums or ride up into the Church of Alll-mer lower levels.

Gameplay

There are little enemies in this area, although there are two difficult encounters. After reaching a forking path where a Ratkin and blue moths can be seen, proceeding to follow the fleeing ratkin will result in being ambushed by the Ratkin gang in their den full of loot, while choosing to follow the moths will result in an encounter with Moonless in front of the passage to Tunnel 4.

Dialogues

Party Talk:

If Karin is in the party: Karin: "I don't know what we're expecting to find down here..." If Marina is in the party: Marina: "I never knew these caverns existed. Prehevil manages to surprise me all these years later." If Abella is in the party: Abella: "What is this smell? Like rotten eggs?" If Daan is in the party: Daan: "I feel like we're soon venturing to the center of the earth at this rate. At every point we just climb deeper and deeper." If Olivia is in the party: Olivia: "Do we have climb back up...? Maybe I should've just stayed up?" If Levi is in the party: Levi: "..." Levi: "The kids at the orphanage told rumours of caves like these, but we never actually found our way down here..." Levi: "That's probably for the better. We would've just gotten lost." If O'saa is in the party: O'saa: "..." O'saa: "An otherwordly darkness fills the air. Can you feel it?" O'saa: "I wouldn't loiter around for too long if I were you." If Marcoh is in the party: Marcoh: "..."

Party Talk (Crypt):

If Karin is in the party: Karin: "A crypt? Charming." If Marina is in the party: Marina: "These tombs... What do they say...?" Marina: "These graves date back to the founding days of Prehevil. Wow, they're ancient!" If Abella is in the party: Abella: "For some reason I'm not one bit surprised to find myself in a cold dark crypt like this. This completes the Prehevil experience really." If Daan is in the party: Daan: "Death seems to be the main theme really around this city, huh?" If Olivia is in the party: Olivia: "I never know how to feel around graveyards, or well crypts like this." Olivia: "It's always so peaceful but something about the idea of walking around death gives me the creeps..." If Levi is in the party: Levi: "..." If O'saa is in the party: O'saa: "The markings on these graves suggest a more primitive form of Alll-mer worship..." O'saa: "The ritual crucifix at the old town already suggested as much, but it is interesting see more from that bygone era." If Marcoh is in the party: Marcoh: "..."
