Its roots go much deeper, as the catacombs beneath Qeynos include ruined and rebuilt aqueduct systems.  What comes in must go out, therefore while the aqueducts brought water into the city, the drains enable it to leave, without making the city's streets impossible to navigate safely -- or cleanly.")

Look at the arches -- they are stockily formed and the ceilings not very high.  In some places, the arches seem to have been added as an after thought!  Indeed, sections of the catacombs previously used only for drainage were converted at various times to crypts.  You will therefore sometimes encounter restless spirits in the dark.")

However, once one knows what to look for, architecturally speaking, one will be able to recognize and identify elements of style in other similar catacombs.  Much of the Vermin's Snye area is in the Randalphesque style, with generally plain columns supporting plaster and lathe ceilings.  This early architecture was a ''back-to-our-roots'' reaction to the cataclysms reshaping the world, when people wanted simple yet homey structures.")
