The Underdark



The Underdark is a wilderness adventure area located in the Forgotten Realms. There are two ways to access this area. These are two different entrances, and get you to different starting points in the map.
 * From The King's Forest
 * This is by simply using the Underdark entrance in the King's Forest, and thus running through the Forest area each time is required to use this entrance.
 * From the portal in the Eveningstar Cavern
 * Completion of the quest "The Battle for Eveningstar" and the chain arc is required to use this entrance.

The King's Forest entrance is very close to the Sschindylryn entrance. Once the Sschindylryn central portal has been unlocked, you can enter the city from the Eveningstar cavern and then exit the Sschindylryn zone to the Underdark close to the King's Forest entrance.

There is a portal at the ruins of Riz Malag explorer option. Once this has been found, it is available as an entrance point to the Underdark from the Eveningstar Cavern. Please note that this portal is very close to the quest entrance for 'In the Belly of the Beast' quest. Just follow the right hand path upwards to the secret cave.

Malchor’s Undersun Goggles
Although the Underdark is true to its name (it's dark!), Malchor’s Undersun Goggles provide some light and reveal hidden enemies by making them glow red. It is provided to players form a NPC Beli Bragason (Optics Merchant) upon reaching the Underdark.

Quests
In addition to the Rare Encounter / Slayer / Explorer missions typical to all wilderness adventure areas, the following quests can be found in this zone:


 * In the Belly of the Beast - side quest

Sschindylryn
Main article - Sschindylryn

The Drow city of Sschindylryn is another adventure area, accessible from this zone. The four quests required to advance the raid flagging arc (the entire second quest chain series) are located in Sschindylryn, not in this area. So you must gain initial access here through the Underdark.

The easiest way to get to Sschindylryn via the Underdark is by going to the very southern part of the King's Forest and using the cave there. Once you enter the cave you may fight your way along the path and will discover the portal to Eveningstar/Sschindylryn. Then use that portal which takes you back to the Eveningstar Cavern and from that point on you may use the Eveningstar Cavern portal to get to the city and the quests within.
