The Underdark
Formerly Everdark
The subterranean continents across the world.
Part of the Underdark. Sovereign kingdom of a Drow. Religious monarchy, ruled by a high cleric queen- currently Queen Taffeta. Deity used to be Lloth but is now Eilistraee. City is entirely drow, non-drow are only permitted within the city to work. Highly artistic architecture, similar to art nouveau but a little sharper. The only light in the city comes from the naturally occurring Nebulite there- soft glowing purple and blue crystals that won’t damage the light sensitive eyes of the drow living there. There used to be something closer to a cast system with a heavy disparity between the classes (like in Venture but with more tiers) but Queen Taffeta has been working to dismantle that maintain more equal basis.
Mining based city in the Underdark. Further in the Underdark than Nightfall. Star Ore (metal), Falling Stars (gems), Nebulite (crystal), and Volcanic Rock are all mined here. Located near an active lava flow which provides natural lighting for the city. Mixed living, but primarily home to Kor and Duergars (dark dwarves). Managed and maintained by the Miner’s Union- general election held every 2 years for head members. Pledged allegiance to Nightfall.

The city closest to the surface in the Underdark. Very varied populace but mostly subterranean races. Tourist destination and trade port - allows people to trade for unique goods only found in the Underdark and tourist to experience the Underdark without the dangers it may hold. Run by a community council - very loose government; pledged allegiance to Nightfall.
