The caverns of the Underdark.

The Underdark is a territory comprised of multiple Locations in Chapter One.

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.
