Only during the last few centuries has the god begun to effect changes on the surface of the Earth. Vast caverns and landscapes bubbled to life within the rock, populated by horrible manifestations of the dead god’s dream. Locked deep beneath the Earth, strange and unbelievable things faded in and out of reality. As it began to dream, it wrought unintentional changes in its environment. Here's the description from the Pathways into Darkness manual: The heat of impact liquefied the rock around it, which later cooled and encased the dead god’s huge body far below ground. Heres the description from Bungie's website: As the heroes of the last safe city turn their attention to the far-reaching frontiers of our galaxy, new Nightmares have emerged from an ancient evil that once slumbered beneath the Lunar surface. Shadowkeep and Pathways into Darkness (1993) by Bungie.
