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

In the twilight caverns of N'Zarath, the Umbral Sanctum is a shadowy temple dedicated to Shar, the Mistress of the Night. Constructed from obsidian and dark quartz, it absorbs light, with an entrance that vanishes into darkness, leading to a vast antechamber filled with whispers of ancient secrets.

Appearance

The temple's silhouette shifts unnaturally under the bioluminescent glow of the Underdark, with dim purple witchlight flickering in black iron sconces. Inside, walls are etched with scripture in Infernal and Deep Speech, and the heart of the temple features the Pool of Midnight, a still, inky-black basin reflecting one's fears and regrets.
