The '''Underdark''' supposedly runs underneath the entire surface of the continent of Faerûn, as a system of caverns and tunnels devoid of sunlight. Its reputation is a dangerous place that is home to evil beings, dangerous creatures, and outlandish flora. Races such as [[Drow]] and [[Deep Gnomes]] are native to the Underdark.

Due to its immense size, the map of the '''Underdark''' features several nameless [[locations]] with unique elements, or named locations that only appear on the player's minimap. To help navigate this region, the [[locations|location]] below may include adjacent nameless areas of the Underdark.


=== Petrified Drow ===
====List of Map Locations ====
Just west of the [[Selûnite Outpost]] is a cliff ledge with several [[Conditions#Petrified|Petrified]] [[Drow]] and a [[Spectator]].

The Drow can be freed of this charm by damaging them, at which point they will turn friendly and fight against the [[Spectator]].

*[[Arcane Tower]]
*[[Selûnite Outpost]]
*[[Ebonlake Grotto]]
*[[Storehouse]]
*[[Decrepit Village]]  
*[[Dread Hollow]]
⚠️ Please note that while [[Grymforge]] is technically contained within the '''Underdark''' territory, its [[location]] is on a separate map.


One of the Drow, [[Dhourn]], carries a memory shard. It contains a vision of the Adamantine Forge in [[Grymforge]]. Dhourn can be convinced to give the shard to the player, or alternatively, it can be looted from him. Activating the shard requires succeeding on an [[Arcana]] check or speaking the the password.
