Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. Introduction to Chapter One: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Waterdeep. One of the greatest cities in all of Faerun, it is home to a multitude of peaceful town-folk from all races and all walks of life. Beneath Waterdeep, however, lies a different realm. This is the deep dungeon known as Undermountain, built by the mad wizard Halaster. Here Halaster tests adventurers who trespass therein with the deadliest of traps and the most dangerous of creatures. All but the luckiest meet their deaths in its dark halls. Regardless of this presence beneath them, the people of Waterdeep feel safe enough...for while one may enter Undermountain, it is rare that anything actually comes out... until now. For there is another realm that exists beneath even Undermountain. A place of shadows and evil known only... as the Underdark. It is here that the sinister dark elves known as the Drow rule next to other subterranean horrors unknown to most on the surface world above. And it is the Drow who now lead an army of these creatures into the streets of Waterdeep, besieging the city from below in a campaign of blood and terror. And in their darkest hour, the Lords of Waterdeep have issued a call for a hero, someone who can face these dark elves and all of their brethren in their own land, someone who can defeat...the hordes of the Underdark.
