Subterra is a massive network of caves and tunnels deep below Erudite's surface. It consists of the gaps of the mostly hollow planet. It is a vibrant ecosystem of its own, often featuring life that evolved completely independently from the surface. Because of these large spaces and abdundance of ekati, Subterra is also home to various Kaiju, gargantuan beings that passively feed off of radiant ekati energy to survive.
The deeper one travels, the more likely someone will find Deep Ekati. The knightly order known as the Arbiters patrol the deepest parts of Subterra to deter anyone from prodding around - whether they are curious adventurers or malevolent warlocks seeking to harness its power.
During the Cyber Era, MagiNet cables are wired through the tunnels which enable for the possibility of a global teleportation network. These cables are heavily protected, because a stray monster chewing on them could greatly disrupt trade and communication between continents.

A series of tunnels that wind currents flow through. They greatly affect the weather on the surface.

A massive crystalline cave just below Emsius. It is home to the Karaihe.
Planetary Core
The Planetary Core, sometimes known as the Heart of Erudite, is an enormous ekati structure. It is the single largest concentration of ekati on the planet. However, the magic it emits is responsible for holding the planet itself together. Were the core ever to run out of magic, the planet would break apart and the continents may drift away into space. However, such an event is not expected to occur for eons, perhaps billions of years more than the universe has ever existed.
Of course, a powerful civilization capable of harvesting its energy could theoretically drain its magic which would cause its lifespan to shorten. In the entire history of Erudite, only one civilization has ever attempted this feat. During the late Antiquity Era, a massive, magically capable empire sought to dominate the world by seizing control of the core to effectively hold it hostage. They were stopped by not just the Arbiters but also the wrathful Kaiju. It is thought this incident led to the worldwide collapse in technology at the time, leading to the Medieval Era.
