About the adventure
🏆 D&D's Most Legendary Foe! 🏴 Delve Deep into the Underdark 💎 Explore Fungi Forests and Crystal Gardens 🛑 Stop an Evil Ancient Entity 🏹 Save the World in Epic Battles Did you ever want an opportunity to take your character from 1st level to 20th? Tonight, a ceremony of lights is taking place on the surface. Meanwhile, a world away in the city of spiders, a drow matron solidifies a pact with soul-consuming entities who require great sacrifices in trade for unimaginable power. Drow eyes turn to the surface. This AAW Games mega-adventure and setting will take characters across the surface and into the depths of the world. The Underworld, or Underdark if you prefer, is a dark and dangerous place inspired by Norse mythology and popularized by the late, great E. Gary Gygax, authors Ed Greenwood, R.A. Salvatore, and many others. A twisted and dark place with a myriad of cultures and creatures, the Underworld is an entire world buried below the surface and hidden from the light of day. Deep caves and dark passages wind and honeycomb throughout the earth, distinctly unique races plot against each other and unknown horrors slog about looking for an easy meal. Adventures will meet unique denizens, battle horrors of the Underworld, explore epic locations, and fight to stop the drow.
