Hmmm : Thanks for that qualifier ! ;-)
I believe that the surface areas of the Underworld, those nearest the Middle World, are part of the Hero Planes. When you go any deeper, that's no longer strictly true, and in the deepest places it's not true at all (although you do have to go *very* deep to reach that point).
I *really* like the Underworld BTW !

... and, unless I'm mistaken, there are also parts of the Underworld that *are* pure ; especially those ones furthest removed from the Middle World, such as those areas where Primal Chaos seeps into Glorantha, or those inside the very scary Black Age (pre-Blue Age Glorantha, viz. Subere write-ups etc).
