Underdark: Difference between revisions

The '''Underdark''' is a [[Region]] of [[Faerûn]], and consists of multiple [[Location]]s in [[Chapter 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 [[alchemy|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 [[Gnome|Deep Gnomes]] are native to the '''Underdark'''.  

Due to its immense size, there are multiple access points into the '''Underdark''' from over-land. All of them involve traveling (or falling) deep into the depths of the world.  

The following locations contain known access points into the '''Underdark''':
