[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7862845, member: 93670"] No, Those things in Forgotten realms & Greyhawk* are virtually the same thing with the [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SerialNumbersFiledOff']serial numbers filed off[/URL]. Khyber is not those things just as Darksun's[URL='https://darksun.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Spine'] blackspine[/URL] filled with Gith is not the underdark either. The conceit that just because the default setting of forgotten realms has something with extremely tenuous similarity to something in other settings if you squint needs to rot in the bin beside midichlorians & baator. Are you seriously broken up that severing the name "underdark" from Khyber &Blackspine to prevent confusion of [I](often new)[/I]players who think they know underdark causing their GM to constantly correct expectations... or are you just arguing because it will make it harder for you to play your drow "drizzot" in eberron or darksun where he absolutely does not belong? * I don't know what it is in mystara... If it's the same with serial numbers filed off, then alll the more reason the actually different versions not be called the underdark. If it's different then that's more evidence for why it should have had a different name not so ladden with lore from another setting [/QUOTE]
