[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6841032, member: 23"] If you can get your hands on that resource, do, I highly recommend it, even if it's drow-focused. General ideas what would be sold: - food, general (from surface to underdark) - not that much to go around in the underdark. Livestock too, I would expect goats to be particularly popular as they aren't too big and sure footed, so the surface dwellers could sell them to under-dwellers, who would them bring them back to their cities (and then quickly consume them before the goats eat all the fungus!) - Spices and specialty foods (going both ways) - Minerals (from underdark to surface). There are specific examples of mineral that would go from the surface to down under (amber, coral, pearls) but most metals and gems would be more abundant underground - Slaves (from surface to underdark). This would be the grimmest reality of such a market - Magic (going both ways). This would be mostly components, spells with a few magical items. Having a magical item market is in general a bad idea in 5e, but if they do exist this would be it. I would expect the power of the items to be somewhat limited, as very powerful items would simply not be sold this way. [/QUOTE]
