Skullport

 |
Skullport¸ the Port of Shadow¸ is perhaps the best kept secret in all the Sword Coast North. A mile and a half beneath the orderly streets of Waterdeep squats the most wretched and lawless pits of thieves¸ buccaneers¸ slavers¸ and sellswords the Realms has to offer. Under a moldering tangle of catwalks threaded between the stalactites and stalagmites of the cavern city¸ illithids¸ drow¸ beholders¸ and others plot and trade with emissaries from the surface. Monsters prowl the dark recesses and alleyways¸ gangs of zombies shamble about performing menial labor¸ and anything and everything can be bought and sold: lethal poisons¸ foul tomes of forbidden magic¸ and slaves.
The only law is meted out by the enigmatic Skulls of Skullport¸ mysterious floating humanoid skulls whose capricious judgments and madness-induced destructiveness are the stuff of grisly travelers tales. Gold rules the ever-present twilight¸ and only those with keen eyes and blades may keep it long.
This 96-page book contains:
* Maps and general information about the three layers and four wards of Skullport.
* Descriptions of over 100 notable sites in the wards.
* A partial map of the dungeons of Skullport -- where the Skulls throw the folk they let live!
* Descriptions of notable NPCs and power groups of Skullport.
Although no other FORGOTTEN REALMS setting products are required to use Skullport¸ this accessory can be used to provide supplemental information for the Ruins of Undermountain campaign expansion. Dungeon Masters can also use SKullport as a basis for an UNDERDARK city in their own campaigns.
