The Underdark supposedly runs underneath the entire surface of the continent of Faerûn, as a system of caverns and tunnels devoid of sunlight. Its reputation is a dangerous place that is home to evil beings, dangerous creatures, and outlandish flora. Races such as [[Drow]] and [[Deep Gnomes]] are native to the Underdark.  
=== Dread Hollow ===
[[File:Dread Hollow.jpg|thumb|right|The sussur tree growing in the Underdark.]]
A large Sussur tree grows west of the [[Ebonlake Grotto]]. Several [[Hook Horror]]s and a dangerous spellcaster, [[Filro the Forgotten]], roam the area.
* [[Sussur Bloom]]s and [[Sussur Tree Bark]] can be found on the limbs of the sussur tree growing here.
