The Underdark

Sigma_Wolf

Includes drow cities, aboleth strongholds, realms of Illithids, bioluminescent fungus and crystals.


Author's Note: (WIP) Original credit and idea for this world goes to Piemcdowell. I think having a world based on the Underdark is a great idea. It's such a mysterious and dangerous alien realm, but also so full of magic and wonder. I'm going to be working on the maps to give them detail and visual reference. The Underdark is a very vertical realm and I wish we had a vertical layered mapping system to represent it, but F&F is lacking that feature so I will be using descriptions to let Franz and players know if they are in a surface, upper, mid, or lower region. The basic 5E stuff fits the Underdark pretty well but I will add in some races and classes that better fit the Underdark's lore and flavor. I intend to add monsters as well because there are so many nasty, vile things lurking in those dark depths.

appearance
A towering fungal humanoid with a thick, mossy hide that glows faintly with bioluminescent spores. His cap is wide and ridged, resembling the rocky outcroppings of the Underdark, and long strands of lichen drape over his shoulders like a shepherd’s cloak. His eyes, barely visible beneath his fungal brow, glimmer with a soft blue-green light.
personality
Zlorrmuk is slow to speak and slower to anger, embodying the patient wisdom of the deep earth. He prefers communication through spores, sending waves of emotion and imagery rather than words. Those who approach with respect will find a gentle and knowledgeable guide, willing to trade rare fungi, bioluminescent herbs, and deep milk (a rich, nutrient-filled secretion from Rothé). However, those who threaten his herd may awaken a terrifying side of him—fungal growths sprouting aggressively in defense of his beloved beasts.
backstory
Living within the Upperdark, and luminous fungi forests nearby the city of N'Zarath, Zlorrmuk tends to a herd of Deep Rothé—massive, shaggy-furred beasts with glowing eyes that thrive in the darkness. As a rancher, he uses his innate fungal spores to communicate with his herd, guiding them with silent, telepathic whispers carried on the wind of bioluminescent pollen. He views his Rothé not as mere livestock but as companions and kindred spirits, their low, rumbling voices forming a chorus that echoes through the cavern halls.
