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.

Description

The Gloomspire Slums are a maze of narrow alleys and crumbling structures, where the drow struggle to survive in the shadow of their more affluent kin. Rumors of illicit dealings and dark magic swirl through the winding streets, and the air is thick with the smell of damp stone and refuse. Its inhabitants are hardened and wary, often casting sidelong glances at newcomers, ready to defend their territory. Despite the squalor, the drow have created pockets of life with hidden markets and flickering lanterns lighting their path at night.

Appearance

Aerial view of the shadowy Gloomspire Slums, with dilapidated buildings huddled closely together, tangled vines creeping up their walls, and flickering lanterns illuminating the dark alleyways, all shrouded in a gloomy twilight.
