[[File:Underdark.jpg|thumb|The caverns of the Underdark.]]
The '''Underdark''' is a territory comprised of multiple [[Locations]] in [[Chapter One]].
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.
==Access==
Due to its immense size, there are multiple entryways into the Underdark. All of them involve traveling (or falling) deep into the depths of the world.
The following locations contain known access points into the Underdark:
*Depart from the [[Defiled Temple]] to reach the South East Quadrant.
*Depart from the [[Zhentarim Hideout]] to reach the North East Quadrant.
*Depart from the [[Riverside Teahouse]] to reach the South West Quadrant.
*Depart from the [[Whispering Depths]] to reach the North East Quadrant.
==Regions and Locations==
The '''Underdark''' is a sprawling area. It is composed of several other varied regions, and nameless locations. As such, this map has been split into smaller sub areas for detailed information.
