The Story So Far
You have recently escaped from a long sojourn on the Plane of Shadow. Your adventures
in that murky dimension have transformed you from a raw novice to a seasoned
adventurer. Escaping from the plane has made you, the talk of taverns and daydreaming
children who seek to emulate your exploits.
Beneath the city of Waterdeep lies the Underdark and from it the armies of darkness have
risen to lay siege to the splendid city. You have arrived to save Waterdeep and in so doing
you will step from the storybooks of mortal heroes and take your place among the truly
epic heroes and heroines of lore.

PLACES AND PEOPLE
Cities and Dungeons
Waterdeep
Waterdeep is the major cosmopolitan power of the Sword Coast and is known by many
as the City of Splendours. The city is an important centre of trade and innovation, ideally
situated beside an excellent harbour. Life goes on as normal for its citizens as it has for
many years but something always stirs below, for the city sits atop the dungeon called
Undermountain. Waterdeep now faces one of the most difficult crises in its history, for
what was once safely contained below now rises forth. Drow, beholders and the dreaded
mind flayers now lay siege to the city.
4
Undermountain
The mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak built thousands of tunnels beneath the city of
Waterdeep, forming a strange and dangerous labyrinth. Therein he stored his treasures,
experiments and necessities. With powerful creatures bound to his will, Halaster has
populated this ever-changing dungeon with the most fearsome of beasts. Few
adventurers have survived to tell the tale of Undermountain. Those that have had, best
be shown some well-earned respect.
The Underdark
Entire societies exist beneath the earth, empires falling and rising without any idea that
there is a world above them. The cruellest of the Underdark's masters are the drow.
These shunned cousins of the elven folk have built majestic cities throughout the lightless
realm. But foul creatures and cultures even more dangerous than the drow populate the
vast expanses between the pockets of civilization.
Characters in the Tale
Durnan
He is a former adventurer who now manages a small inn called the
Yawning Portal. He runs the inn with the help of his wife Mhaere —
another retired adventurer — and their daughter Tamsil. The inn's
claim to fame is that it sits atop the fearsome dungeon known as
Undermountain.
The Valsharess
This female drow is the mysterious and enigmatic leader of the large
Underdark army that threatens Waterdeep. The Valsharess (which
means Empress in the drow tongue) is the title she has given herself
her true name still remains a secret. Through force and diplomacy she
has melded together the enemies of her people into a massive army
that threatens to topple the most powerful city in Faerun. Little is
known about her except that she and her forces have mastered an
advanced form of fire magic. She is intelligent, proud and more than
certain of her ultimate victory.
Deekin
This kobold is a bard of surprising skill, his talents honed under the
watchful guidance of the white dragon that trained him. His past is far
behind him now, for Deekin has travelled far and wide, even having
had some small hand in saving the world from the flying city of
Undrentide.
