After that, not so much. As PCs level up, it's more than okay to let the scenery slide into the background. So, try to reason with your players. Ask them to resist the temptation to start out with underdark-savvy PCs. The campaign will be better for it. And they can always add in familiarity with Underdark later on, after the initial impression has been made!</blockquote>
