Getting some ideas out there...
Legends talk of another world below the surface and deep within the crust. These legends vary at times, but some things are shared among them. The world below the surface is depicted as a much more perilous place as it is still in a somewhat savage state. The people of this inner world are not the masters of this realm as survival is the top priority. Life is much harder down below as the people face dangers from environment1 and creatures2 that are mostly unknown on the surface world. There are also several pathways connecting this inner world to the outside world above on the surface.
Modern rumors still persist about this inner realm. If people come up missing it isn't uncommon for someone to ask if they were taken into the inner world. There are occasional expeditions to find one of the paths to the inner world. Most of these expeditions are unsuccessful.

[2] Dinosaurs, Brutes, giant wasps, etc.

Some notes on new Monsters from the Lands Below:
Beast Men resemble humans that are mixed with beasts of one sort or another. They commune in small tribes and raid human villages.
Brutes are overly large humans. Somewhat like Ogres, basically savage humanoids.
Giant wasps, snakes, etc. are exactly what the label says. I need to go through the DD monster section and see what's missing for me to add.O
Throwbacks and primitive versions of the core races will be in the underworld.
