It makes no sense to be existing as is outside of divine intervention. You can't look deep into the area even for a tiny bit and must wear blinders the whole way. It is dark and depressing with multiple warring and violent factions sealed up in a scary land and they somehow aren't all dead or someone has conquered the place. So either everyone is mad and too loony to have dominated the others OR every Underdark resident is too much or a moron to realize the state of affair and change itOR Underdark residents are straight up inhuman and don't act like people at allOR they enjoy the dark and are so whimsical that they can't actually seriously change the status quo.Unfortunately WOTC wont the make their drow, duergar, deep gnomes, mind flayers, and beholders be naturally insane, capricious, or alienminded. So no WOTC didn't have to add whimsical element. It wasn't not needed. But something had to be added. Horror. Madness. Politics. Large Scale battle. Or Whimsy. Something as a distraction to keep you from looking to hard and realizing how unrealistic the Underdark is even for fantasy and how it's not that way on purpose like a joke.</blockquote>
