The Roots of Corruption, also known as the Nether Basin, is a colossal cleft cut into the earth by miners to the south-west of Detlas and east of Elkurn that has since become engulfed by Corruption. A Realm Portal from which the Corruption leaks out into Wynn stands at the bottom of the pit. The portal used to be accessible and transported players to The Nether, but this feature was removed in 1.19.
The Roots and the Portal are the historical source of the corruption in Wynn, and are by far the most corrupted area in the province. The roots have spread beneath the province from this source like a mycelial network, as seen in the Beneath the Roots secret discovery, which appears to be the cause of the corruption spikes emerging from the earth around Wynn, such as in the Corrupted Village. While the exact effects of proximity to the roots and the Portal are unknown, they are unquestionably hazardous and have led to the corruption of multiple powerful figures in the past.

Trivia
- Originally, the location on the other side of the portal was known as "The Nether", parodying vanilla Minecraft's Nether dimension.
- The Lightdust Cavern is on the north side facing Gavel and the Realm Portal to Light, while the cave with the Mangled Progeny is on the south side facing the Silent Expanse and the Realm Portal to Darkness.
