The caverns of the Underdark.

The Underdark is a Region of Faerûn, and consists of multiple locations in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It is a vast series of caverns and tunnels devoid of sunlight but full of dangerous creatures and even more dangerous mushrooms, but also contains a multitude of alchemical ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. The Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3 is only a small portion of the true Underdark. The Drow, Duergar and Deep Gnomes are native to the Underdark.
