Category:The Underdark

The Underdark is not a plane, but instead a massive series of caves and tunnels beneath much of Hope and the oceans around it. The underdark stretches for miles and miles at a time without outlets to the surface, and is filled with jagged rocks, sudden sheer drops and water-filled passageways... some of which lead to the Abyss itself.

he only real inhabitants of the underdark are Asharra's servants. The Illithids live in small groups scattered throughout the tunnels, usually not far from parts of the surface that are home to towns or cities. Aboleth lurk in the deepest, water-filled tunnels to ponder and plan... and Tsochar breed madly in the dark before emerging on the surface to seek new hosts. But the only race to call the underdark and it alone their home are the Dark Faeli, who live in tight knit bands that move often, unhindered by the Dark Lady's other children.

The Underdark is a dangerous place to travel, though some dwarves have found entrances to it's deeper tunnels and emerged with their lives. Others have had entire bands of them consumed or enslaved by the creatures that dwell below the earth, and have become food for the Illithids or slaves of the Tsochar. A similar fate awaits any who delve too deep.
