underrealm

Zar'Ahal was a safe enough city, especially by Underrealm standards. It had walls, guards, consistent light, laws...all the things a civilization needed to maintain any kind of longevity. This was not in Zar'Ahal. This was a cavern, several miles beyond Zar'Ahal's borders. The cave had walls...

The Coronation Ground The obsidian tiles of the Queen’s Plaza, in front of the Queen’s Palace, glistened with fresh polish, their black sheen cut through with glimmering veins of red-tinged quartz that pulsed softly in the lowlight. Spider silk banners stretched between carved pillars...

Ispir might not have been the sharpest blade in the barracks but even he could tell that his travel from Crobhear toward where he has been told Drow were said to roam in The Spine has been.... Unusual. No sounds of wildlife permeated the scant treetops that dotted the mountains. Even the scant...

Shay Tirloc or "the Twin Stalagmites" was so named for the pair of massive stalagmites that sprung up from the city center, extending all the way from the base of the cavern it occupied to the ceiling. At over fifty meters thick, the solid stone had been hewn out by Drow slaves many centuries...

The carriage moved sleekly through the subterranean street, not by wheels or hooves, but by scaled claws. Zar'Ahal demanded mounts and transports that could easily scale sheer surfaces; as such, preferred mounts often ended with large spiders or lizards. This giant riding lizard spanned about...

Night lay thick over the wilds beyond Bhathairk, the orc city’s distant glow reduced to a smoldering stain on the horizon. A few miles out, the cave revealed itself. The air spilling from its mouth carried damp stone and something older still, a promise of descent. Vyx’aria had gathered them...

Hey! I’m pretty new so im looking for threads with my laid-back drow. I am willing to go pretty much any direction for a thread. Roul is a pretty dedicated statue carver. Hope to see one of your characters out there in a thread with Drawen or Roul!

Ask anyone on the surface to describe Arethil’s Underrealm, and they would likely relate to you a claustrophobic tale of twisting tunnels and cramped squeezes, barely large enough for a man to fit through and dangerously close to collapse. They would be correct, for the Underrealm stretched like...

The city of Zar'Ahal never really slept, but instead it churned constantly. It was perhaps late at night on the surface, or maybe the middle of the day. There was no way to tell. The completely subterranean city was lit with the same even glow from a thousand glow lamps, never put to rest. The...

There is beauty in darkness. That is what most Drow would tell you, and as you would understand it they're not wrong. Beauty can be found everywhere. A glow worm with intricate spun silk perhaps, or maybe the way the moon casts a wane light across a still quiet lake. But the Drow of Zar'ahal...

The Underrealm was a place of wonders that few could imagine outside of it's true, native, denizens. One such wonder was the Cathedral that could be found within the capital city of the Drow. It's stonework was masterful, it's stained glass tasteful and it's size imposing on a very real level...

OOC:Drow Invasion of the Dwarf city Dhunbor in the Underrealm. Thread is open to anyone on either side! Vyx had been searching for the Duergar city for a long time now. She was still processing the fact that she was named Queen of Zar'Ahal, though nothing changed for now. She was prepared this...

Ashdell was a lovely place. It was in some nice countryside and there were some decent people there as well. As far as Jazat was aware the people there were good for a party as well and he was all about that life. He had been working too hard as a mercenary without actually taking the time out...

Xunari had been so busy since the emergence of the two massive dragons and everything that meant. What it meant, it turned out, was a lot of upheaval for the locals around where the dragons had emerged and more chaos across the continent as well. Some people even went so far as to keep looking...

Zar’Ahal was in disarray. The queen’s House was under attack by a rival House and she had called upon Vyx’aria to rally the military to help suppress the uprising. House Avairl had chosen to attack out of the blue, calling for the current drow ruler to step down due to decades of inaction...
