[QUOTE="DM Storn, post: 1317737, member: 16224"] Wow, thanks for the quick replies! I am thinking that the Underdark began as something of a natural phenomena - at least the cave structures - that was 'colonized' and gradually expanded. The races that colonized it would have had to find ways to sustain themselves ... maybe they had cattle that didn't mind an all-mushroom diet, for example. I know that ultimately I can have magic be the driving force behind that sustainability, but I would like to begin with as much reality (odd word, I know, for a fantasy world) as I can. One thing I am actually considering is something like 'sun stones,' which would be a magical stone that gave off the equivalent of sunlight, allowing green plantlife to be cultivated nearby ... so you would create a greenhouse, place the sunstone inside and grow your greens. Thanks for the recommendation, by the way - I don't necessarily 'hate' the Forgotten Realms, I am just a bit worn on them; I like to try new things now and again and this is one of those times :) Thanks again!
