This passage has been carved from the stone of the mountain. It is
rectangular in shape, all four sides fairly smooth. Carvings adorn the

This passage is rectangular in shape, carved out of the mountain
stone. The walls are fairly smooth, but differences in depth of carving
give them a rippled appearance. An small slit has been carved into the
south face, constructed to allow numerous defenders to attack anything
that tries to enter. Large stains of blood cover the areas near the slit,
testifying that its defensive design features have been put to use. Some
crude pictures have been carved into the stone walls, ceiling and floor,
most seem to depict victories in battle or hunting. The passage continues

The might of the duergar dwarves unfolds near the heart
of the underdark. A steep ramp rising forty feet is part of the
fortresses defences to make sure that any attacking army will have
trouble with a quick assult. Two large black chains run on either
side of the ramp are used to pull heavy wagons and equipment. What
mechanism that makes these chains run is a well-kept mystery but it
must be something of awesome power. Every six feet there are round
holes in the walls surrounding the ramp and in the tunnel ceiling.
What these holes are for is hard to know but the faint smell of
boiling oil is enough to cause the hair at the back of the neck to

A Soaring Mushroom Cavern
This area is in sharp contrast to the perfect order of the
rest of the tunnel system. The walls are rough and jagged and
this small cave gives the impression of being a natural one
rather than chiseled out anything living. The cavern floor is
filled with small violet and blue fungi that give off a sweet
but not entirely unpleasant smell. The chamber soars upwards
and there seems to be nothing to limit it. At times one might
even claim to see a tiny spek of light thousands of feet above
but most would laugh at such a statement. Sometimes the flutter
of wings can be heard coming from far above but perhaps that
was also vivid imagination playing tricks. An enormous mushroom
some twenty feet tall grows in the middle of the chamber and
it is probably the largest speciment ever.

A Soaring Mushroom Cavern
This area is in sharp contrast to the perfect order of the
rest of the tunnel system. The walls are rough and jagged and
this small cave gives the impression of being a natural one
rather than chiseled out anything living. The cavern floor is
filled with small violet and blue fungi that give off a sweet
but not entirely unpleasant smell. The chamber soars upwards
and there seems to be nothing to limit it. At times one might
even claim to see a tiny spek of light thousands of feet above
but most would laugh at such a statement. Sometimes the flutter
of wings can be heard coming from far above but perhaps that
was also vivid imagination playing tricks. An enormous mushroom
some twenty feet tall grows in the middle of the chamber and
it is probably the largest speciment ever.

An Outpost on the Road to the Khildarak Stronghold
This room has been chiseled out of the rocky wall with great
care. The walls are perfectly smooth without any flaws or marks.
A large stone table has been cut out from the rock and is actually
apart of the floor itself. Along the west and south walls are
three pedestals with bowls of glowing fungi that cast a
soft light on the surroundings.

Nearing the Khildarak Stronghold
The great road scretches west as far as the eye can see. Every
twenty feet are pedestals with bowls of glowing fungi that illuminate
the tunnel for the lesser races. Shouts echo down the stone walls
and occasionaly the sound of a brief dispute. Not a single brokem
rock can be spotted on the duergar road in this tunnel, as alot of
hard work have been put in to provide a good road for travellers
and duergar soldiers. There are pedestals with small bowls of
fungi providing lite for races with worse vision than the duergar.

Below the Khildarak Stronghold
The might of the duergar dwarves unfolds near the heart
of the underdark. A steep ramp rising forty feet is part of the
fortresses defences to make sure that any attacking army will have
trouble with a quick assult. Two large black chains run on either
side of the ramp are used to pull heavy wagons and equipment. What
mechanism that makes these chains run is a well-kept mystery but it
must be something of awesome power. Every six feet there are round
holes in the walls surrounding the ramp and in the tunnel ceiling.
What these holes are for is hard to know but the faint smell of
boiling oil is enough to cause the hair at the back of the neck to
stand on end.

A Crack In The Cliff Face
This narrow crack is only a few meters wide and not much taller. The
bottom is fairly smooth and dry, making for good footing. Several rough
rocks stick out from the sides, the wall to the north seems to be smoother
than the than the rest. Looking down a body of water can be seen.

A Narrow Passage
The crack narrows to a small slit to the north. All four sides of the
open space seem to close in around you, restricting movement. Stains of
red indicate that some creature has taken advantage of its restrictive
conditions to gain an advantage in battle. The space is made narrower by
several rocks protruding from the walls of the area.

A Carved Passage
This passage is rectangular in shape, carved out of the mountain
stone. The walls are fairly smooth, but differences in depth of carving
give them a rippled appearance. An small slit has been carved into the
south face, constructed to allow numerous defenders to attack anything
that tries to enter. Large stains of blood cover the areas near the slit,
testifying that its defensive design features have been put to use. Some
crude pictures have been carved into the stone walls, ceiling and floor,
most seem to depict victories in battle or hunting. The passage continues
to the north.

The Base Of A Steep Slope
This passage has been carved from the stone of the mountain. It is
rectangular in shape, all four sides fairly smooth. Carvings adorn the
walls, ceiling and floor, some are crude, some are quite well done. The
pictures seem to depict victories in battles or hunting. It seems that
the inhabitants of this area enjoy sharing their victories and preserving
them for generations to come. The passage continues into darkness to the
south. To the east the entire passage slopes steeply upwards, maintaining
its original dimensions in the climb.

A Sloping Passage
This passage has been carved from the stone of the mountain. The sides
are fairly smooth, differences in the carving give it a rippled affect,
much like the surface of water. The passage has been created at a steep

those progressing upwards. To the west the passage seems to stop its
