**********************************************************************
FEATURES
**********************************************************************
This mod was completely inspired by Neverwinter Nights` "Hordes of
the Underdark" expansion. I recreated the main areas from the original
game: the drow city of Lith My`athar, Drearing`s Deep, Shaori´s Fell
and Isle of the Maker. You will also find some characters from the
game here, like The seer, Cavallas, Cordigan and others. I did not
just copy the design from the game: instead, I made my own version of
the Underdark according to what was possible. I tried to be as
faithful as possible to the lore of Dungeons and Dragons, but due to
the scarcity of propper resources the Underdark will look a bit
"Skyrimzied". For now it is a WIP, but all the main areas are finished
and playable.
I am looking for a scripter to script quests for this mod. In case
you are interested please contact me.
If you are a modeller/texturer and want to make something related to
the Drow or the Underdark, I will be very pleased to use your work.
**********************************************************************
WARNING!!!!!!!
**********************************************************************
The Underdark is not wide-open world. There are collision boxes
limiting the space. If sometimes you are unable to fall from somewhere
or you cannot jump in the water, it´s because you reached the cell´s
limit.
The Dark River is not for swimming and diving, at least for now. It
is currently bottomless and empty. Avoid swimming unless it is
absolutely necessary.
**********************************************************************
THE PLOT
**********************************************************************
Thirteen years after the defeat of the valsharess, Lyth My`athar
experienced considerable grouth using the Dark river as a trade route.
However, the stability years comes to an end as a new rebellion makes
the Underdark bleed again. The body of the valsharess was stolen at
the same time a new bunch of drow necromancers was seen in the city`s
whereabouts. Meanwhile, the vampire cultists from Drearings Deep moved
to Shaoris Fell, where they plan the ressurection of the dragon
Vixthra...
**********************************************************************
GETTING THERE
**********************************************************************
The portal to the temple of Llolth is located at the coast, near
Winterhold College.I added a screenshot to show the location. Talk to
the seer. From its door, you will reach Lyth My`athar and the rest of
the Underdark.
**********************************************************************
GETTING AROUND
**********************************************************************
To the west of Lith My´athar you will find a bit of Underdark´s
wilderness and the village of Drearing´s deep. It is a settlement of
escaped slaves. Talk to Corrigan.
If you go to the city´s east you will reach the docks.Use the trap
doors at the boat to reach the two isles in the dark river.
Isle of the Maker is an abandoned Duergar colony, where once lived a
powerful golem-builder who pursued lichdom. There is a refugee camp
now, talk to Zachariah.
Shaoris Fell (a.k.a. A Strange Island Town) was built and abandoned
by winged elves from the surface. you may go to the castle, Shaoris
cave or the evil temple (the Mage´s Tower and the Library are under
construction).Talk to Uragon.
**********************************************************************
KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES
**********************************************************************
-There are four characters with dialogue: The Seer, Corrigan, Uragon
and Cavallas. Dialogue with them sometimes flashes too fast to be
read- use Fus Ro D'OH - SIlent Voices" to get the silent dialog to
displace correctly.

-Some voices and speaks from NPC´s may have to be fixed.
YOU SHOULD REPORT ANY BUG/GLITCH/ISSUE YOU MAY FIND.REMEMBER THAT THIS
IS THE BETA SO I REALLY NEED SOME FEEDBACK.
**********************************************************************
INSTALLATION
**********************************************************************
-Extract the "Data" folder from this mod to "theElderScrollsVSkyrim"
folder
-Add a check to Underdark.esp in your Skyrim Launcher screen to
activate the mod... and play!!!
-Install the updates correctly as they are released.
**********************************************************************
F.A.Q.
**********************************************************************
-Q: Do you want to create the whole Underdark?
A: Of course... NOT! It has several layers of a continental-sized
worldspace. I would need a modding team to get a fraction of it done.
-Q: Why isn´t the underdark TRULY dark?
A: If I made it with relistic darkness it would be just another dark
dungeon mod. I wanted something to admire the vastness of an
underworld.
-Q: Why there is no scripted quest yet?
A: I don´t script for Skyrim. PLEASE, do not insist.
-Q: How far do you want to go with this mod?
A: You know the laws of physics: the development rate of a mod is
proportional to the support it receives. There is as lot more on the
making, but if this mod don` t draw attention or support I will just
finish what isn`t ready yet and release it as it is.
-Q: I want to fight some nasty drow! Where should i go?
A: You will find hostile drow rebels at the castle in Shaoris Fell and
the duergar mine at the Isle of the Maker. Drow necromancers will be
found at the city crypts and in the defiled temple, in the wilderness.
-Q: Are you willing to port it for SSE?
A: Not any time soon.
-Q: I found a bug! What should I do?
A: Contact me and report.
