Making the middle area darkest also makes more sense. Light from the entrances would enter into the upper levels, while glowing fungus may be cultivated on the lower level near the city. In the center, it would basically be a no-man's land.

and the thought of the the "total darkness" making one depressed in an hour or two....really brings it home as to why they are trekking through complete darkness along side the reality of death lurking around every corner or turn, just to get to the UD or come to the surface......sounds really "real" in an RP sense to me! Just my 2 cents though...  |

I really tore into the Drow city of Sshamath last night. I have to say I am super excited about it. So far everything I am trying to do is working, which is both unusual and exciting. It looks like that spiraling staircase that works its way up the central column of the cavern is going to work. *Keeps fingers crossed*
As for the other areas of the city they are looking really good as well. The Mage School, Wizard conclave, Inns and the Bazaar are all looking good. Hopefully I will have it all laid out in the next few days.
If anyone is interested in helping build interiors please let me know. It shouldn't be to hard to help as I have all the things you will use laid out and ready to go. All you have to do is use the placeables I have laid out to build random caves.

I don't know if this has been asked already, but will we see multiple connections to the surface? Could I say, go for a jaunt on the dreaded third floor of the cloakwood mines and find myself at an entrance to the UD, but also jump down farmer Jorn's well and find an entrance too? (These are purely hypothetical of course)

Yes there will be at least two entrances to the Underdark, hopefully more. Eventually I want to incorporate this into a lot of the areas, especially the wooded areas, so that there are several ways to get into and out of them.

Don't forget, please, to make an entrance to the UD in docks, very close to the place, where player appear after server restart and he (or she) comes out of the ship, otherwise Haydel will linch and burn anyone just in the middle of the city, while drow and dergars will be running to their sweet dark home across it ,ye, ye, and Ice will help him with his Flaming Fists!! ;-))))))))

Yes, all underground races will start in the city of Sshamath. They all are represented there. A lot of the Plane touched classes will be starting there as well.

OH.......MY.......GAWD.......THAT IS FREKKIN AMAZING!
That Drow house and that UD city in general is very similar to how I pictured the UD in the "Dark Elf Trilogy".....just absolutely well done! I cannot wait until this is implemented......

Yea I would like to say, Josh I am loving it... And if there is a possibility Ryokami might be a new home just depending on how things go with everything, I just want to give a warning now to all who venture into those caverns watch yourself I will be guarding them as I do Bane's Temple |
