.Al'doer ulu lil Har'oloth.

Silence reigns in the World Below. It fills every crack, every corridor of unfeeling stone. No sunlight warms these endless tunnels. It is a land of twists and turns, natural traps and pitfalls, where only the foolish walk unguarded. The darkness hides its true face well, and ever present danger remains the only certainty.

Only the strong survive here, in the lands below the feet of men. Only the most ruthless, the most cut throat of beings can thrive and call such desolation home. This is a land of monsters. They stalk the darkness, wicked collaborations of tooth and claw; ill-conceived nightmares spawned from the dreams of a heartless god. Others are perfection. They mask themselves in beauty, preying on those foolish enough to underestimate their delicacy.

Be warned, traveler. Order is a lie here, where all is nothing but deception and chaos. This is a world of natural, intelligent evils, and they are waiting to destroy you. If you should ever escape with your life intact, you will never be the same; for you will have seen for yourself the extremity of nature, and you will know, in the end, how insignificant you really are.

Welcome to the Underdark. We hope you enjoy your stay.
