FoW and UW are both seperate planes, linked by the rift. FoW was created (or conquered) by Balthazar as a realm of his own, the Underworld is as old as the five gods or more.

The Fissure of Woe is a Realm of the Gods, specifically Balthazar. It is not anywhere on any map it, exists in limbo; although ANet decided to use RoF's loading screen for it. Balthazar's Eternals fight for control of the plane against Menzies' Shadow Army. The Eternal Forge is located here inside the Temple of War, where Fissure armor can be crafted by the Eternal Forgemaster, after he is freed and the Temple of War is restored.

The Underworld is a lot more interesting to me. It's another Realm, under Grenth's control. However, Terrorweb Dryders infested the Realm and trapped the Reapers, the equivalent of Balthazar's Eternals. An alternate portion of the Underworld can also be entered through the Ruins of the Tombs, although this part is speculated to not be under Grenth's control, or at least the portal leading into it. There was a rumor of an Underworld Forgemaster, but this has since been proven false. The Underworld is also home to a Temple, containing a locked door with light shining through. This door can't be opened, although the Mists and/or Grenth himself are speculated to be on the other side.

That's it in a nutshell.

UW used to belong to Dhuum, who was god of dead etc. before grenth was. Grenth challenged him, wtfpwned him and took control of the underworld.
Currently the underworld is invaded by demons, and the players need to free it.
