hello

I am working upon a drow city located underneath the lake of streams in a region known as the Arnvault. Now to help me out I would like to know more about both regions, the lake of streams and the Arnvault respectively.

Now I have a few questions, the first is what information is upon the Arnvault aside from being referenced upon the map in the Underdark book. As I am setting my drow city in this region I would like to know more about this region of the Underdark.

Secondly what information is upon the lake of streams? I do have the FRCS which does mention some things upon it but I would like more information upon the area, including a map of the region that can show me where the regions mentioned in the FRCS are, such as the Jundarwood.

Thanks for any help I can get.

See Steven Schend's Empires of the Shining Sea boxed set for lore on the Lake of Steam and the surrounding areas. There's also some Lake of Steam info/tidbits [for 2e] in the Shining South book. As well as in the 3e Shining South tome.

Thank you sage.

As to my first question, is their any info on the underdark underneath the lake of streams? The only info I have is that region is called the arnvault, but nothing beyond that.

Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark has a little info. And there's a few tidbits in the sources I mentioned above too.

Paizo.com has all of these 2nd Edition books as PDFs for $4 in their online store.

You can get Empires of the Shining Sea here

Shining South is here

And finally, Drizzt's Guide to the Underdark is here

EDIT: Ack! Can someone tell me how to replace those long URL lines with the word "here"?

Mod edit: Code fixed. You had it almost right -- just put quotation marks around the URL next time, and the coding will work properly. Check out the Forum FAQ for any other bits of coding you're not sure about.

And thus getting cheaper and cheaper by the month in other currencies?

Kajehase, living in a town where export to the US is pretty darn vital.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Also, it is the Lake of Steam.

Sorry, but that was botherong me something fierce.

Watch we're your placing that city - there is a major 'nation' of Beholders under that same region.

where is the 'nation' of beholders by the way? I haven't heard of any big area of beholders, save the city ooltul but that is the northern part of fearun and not in the south where the city is going to be set in.

The beholder nations were found around and beneath the Lake of Steam region. You can learn more in both the Lands of Intrigue source [available as a free PDF download at WotC] and Empires of the Shining Sea.
