The Underdark
An extensive network of tunnels and caverns connect the lands of Alter
Aeon. These caves, while consisting of many different areas, are collectively
reffered to as "The Underdark."
A Bestiary of The Underdark
Giant Spiders
The spiders that live in dark forest east have constructed a nest in the
caverns nearby. The nest is swarming with giant wolf spiders, and small
white backstabbing spiders. In the center of the nest, the queen is tended
to by her brood.
Cave Trolls
The caves north of dark forest east are inhabited by these gruesome
humanoids. The trolls here are smaller and much less feirce than their
swamp-dwelling cousins.
Troglodytes
Deeper in the caverns of dark forest east, beyond the cave trolls, the
troglodytes have construced a city. The reptillain creatures will attack any
outsiders, so the ability to sneak is a must. A high degree of pickpocketing
may also be necessary, as the lizard men tend to steal their opponent's
weapons.
Tyranids
In a ravine to the southwest of dark forest east, there is a cavern that
houses a hive of warrior-like humanoid insects. The brood queen in the
center of the hive is heavily guarded by many strong Tyranid warriors.
Dwarves
Below the rocky hills far to the southeast of ralnoth is a kingdom of
dwarves. Of all the underdark inhabitants, the dwarves are perhaps the
most hospitable towards strangers. Travellers to the dwarven kingdom are
unlikely to find trouble, unless they come looking for it.
Dwarven Ruins
The ruins of ancient dwarven cities are located deep in the mines connected
to the dwarven kingdom. The ruins are home to a host of undead.
The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth, or as Dentin calls it "500 rooms of the wrong way," is
located underneath the undead city of Jo'Kerin. Among the beasts dwelling
there are minotaurs, bugbears, giant centipedes and scorpions, and hydras.
At the end of the maze resides a great undead dragon and its demonic
servants.
