I toyed with the underdark for a while in my fantasy world, and probably will toy with it again. Even though I've more or less estabilshed that the planet on which my world sits is round, I figure that it is a fantasy world so all sorts of improbable things can happen. That being said, I don't think that the characters ever made it even 1000 feet underground. They talked to some residents of the underdark, who referred to interconnecting caves and passages that form a three-dimensional underground world that spans much of the known surface world-- "a whole new world" in other words. The characters in this world had been into "dungeons" before, but never into the interconnected underdark. I haven't yet decided how much I will do with this, although I have set up a "loosely allied" state (a very small one) underneath the wilderness kingdom that the PCs in this world are currently trying to found. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------- GMAST Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gmast/
