The Deeps

"Look at them. How pathetic." - Drow bandits surveying a sleeping Hobgoblin encampment.

At a Glance


Five miles beneath the surface is the part of the Underdark known as The Deeps. It is here that many aberrant creatures reside and the Dark Elven Drow lurk in the shadows. Many surface dwellers begin to demonstrate symptoms of claustrophobia and delerium and for those who are new to subterranean travel an unnerving sense of deja vu may appear.

Tricks of the mind are devastating for anyone travelling in The Deeps, but the more prominent threats hide close to areas of water and vegetation. Drow clans fight for possession of the safe-havens of ruined cities and Hobgoblins and Rust Spiders creep in the lower regions. Those daring enough to make their way to to borders of The Deeps and The Echoes will be sure to encounter the toxic Otyugh and hear the rumbling sounds of the monstrous Purple Worms.

The Deeps were also the location of the Korlyuhka Mansion and the rebuilt city of Lolthlorien, as well as the entrance to the next level of the Underdark, The Echoes.
