[QUOTE="Mike Mikesh, post: 7335959, member: 6923829"] [b]Underdark Communities[/b] The Northdark map on page 19 of [I]Out of the Abyss[/I] only shows the important encounter areas. This is an opportunity for a DM to use his imagination in adding other drow holdings, troglodyte communities, duergar mining towns, illithid enclaves, etc. scattered from upperdark to lowerdark. Reasonably friendly locales could be important to the second half of the campaign for supporting surface coalition outposts. Some potential ideas follow. [B]Titch[/B] - [URL="http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Chitine"]Chitine[/URL] community ruled by a [URL="http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Choldrith"]choldrith[/URL] named Lixol. Their main products are different types of high quality silk thread and silk fabric. This is possibly located at one end of the Silken Paths. A drider, Challara, with ettercap followers, seeks to overthrow Lixol in a religious war. [B]Kesstree[/B] - Colony upon the Darklake governed by the drow House Kilund whose wealth is in timber and rothe wool. Two nearby faerzress infused cavern systems are forested with zurkhwood, one of a fast growing variety, the other of especially hard woods. The main residence is a hollowed natural column on the water that serves as a defensive keep. It is ringed by the town, a network of wooden walkways and buildings supported over the water upon posts driven into the lake bed. [/QUOTE]
