[[File:Underdark.jpg|thumb|The caverns of the Underdark.]]

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.  

Due to its immense size, there are multiple entryways into the Underdark. All of them involve traveling (or falling) deep into the depths of the world.
