Greetings, fellow Loreseekers (and, of course, honourable Sages ;D),

I'm currently searching Underdark Maps for my FR Drow Campaign. It's set in the Northdark, so maps on the north-western area of Faerûn (meaning: North and Silver Marches) will suffice.

I found maps in the 3e Underdark, the 2e Menzoberranzan Boxed Set as well as the 2e "Drow of the Underdark" and "Drizzt Do'Urdens Guide to the Underdark". Unfortunatly, every single map is incomplete.

Do you know of any published or fanmade (maybe as high-skilled as the great works of Mark Taylor?!) maps of the Underdark / Northdark?

Thanks!

I've lost track of recent realmslore, since my campaigns are still in the 1370ies. :-)

If you're looking for actual tunnel maps, I don't think very much has ever been published. It's almost impossible to do so, since we're talking about a 3D puzzle that stretches several miles below the surface. The best you can try to do, sourcebook-wise, is a very broad overview like in DD's Guide.

The only place I can suggest is looking in the 2e mega-adventure Night Below, which has a lot of underground maps. Most of them are more isolated lairs, but some are fairly substancial. And if you find any fan-made maps, I'd be interested to see them.

Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well.

I'm lookimg for "overland"-maps like in the 3e "Underdark".

You mean maps that show the relative positions of underdark locales in relation to things on the surface? The only two I know are the one in Drizzt's Guide, which only focuses on the western Realms, and the one in Underdark you mentioned.

They was a map posted someplace, of where underdark cities were compared to the surface. I believe it was WotC site, however am not sure.

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Search on Candlekeep and you will find a thread or two detailing Underdark maps in the North. I know I've mentioned at least one good source for 'point A to point B' maps in the region (with links) I just don't recall them at the moment!

Ozreth,

Thanks! I knew I'd shared some map links SOMEWHERE.
