This cheerless land was oncethe domain of Nerull, a god of death who trappedthe spirits of countless mortals in his kingdom,holding them in thrall. Some he punished with terribletorments and some he forced to serve in hisgrim legions, but most he kept as powerless shades,aching for the release of true death. Nerull wantedto reign as the king of the gods, and he sent cursesand plagues against the mortal world to swell thenumbers of the host of the dead.''If not, you could go with the angle of the dead civilization, I think this subject might interest yuan-tis necromancers since its so close to their own reality:''Once a mysterious mortal race of great knowledgeand enlightenment made its home in the dominion ofShom, the white desert. Pilgrims journeyed to this plane in search oftruth and insight and to learn from the elders of Shom.But the ancient race vanished long ago, leaving behindits deserted temples, its buried mausoleums, and itsmonuments of stone. Now Shom is a magnificentwasteland, a desert of white sand where titanic statuesand empty cities silently guard their ancient riddles..''And for extra edgy-ness, did you know that even the Shadowfell had its own Underdark?:''Below the Shadowfell’s twilight landscape lies a nightmarishreflection of the natural world’s Underdark.Called the Shadowdark, this pitch-black expansefeatures labyrinthine tunnels, vaulted chambers, andsubterranean seas. Past the lightless corridors, bottomlessabysses are cloaked in blackness and bearded withice. Oceans of necrotic seepage and darkland tunnelsare so malevolent that to walk them risks annihilation.One constant in this endless expanse of darknessis the cold. Descending into its depths plungestravelers into icy stillness, cold enough for breathto form and hang in the air. The deeper one travels,the colder it becomes, until even those protected bypotent wards find the depths unbearable.Like the Underdark, the Shadowdark is a refugefor aberrant horrors such as creatures spawned ortouched by the Far Realm. Mind flayers, grells, andother vile creatures hold vast sections of the Shadowfell’sbowels, but its depths shelter even strangercreatures. Ineffable horrors, grotesqueries born fromnightmare, roam the bowels of the underworld. Forgottenkingdoms of undead are prevalent. Endlesstales are told about great catacombs infested withzombies, dark cities overrun by wights, and fleshyslicks of discarded body parts awakened into nearsentienceby powerful magic.''</blockquote>
