Mantol-Derith

The Underdark

Map | Full Art

A secret Underdark trading hub which has remained a neutral territory for centuries, allowing those who visit to trade without fearing for their lives. It is frequented by the Zhentarim, who have cornered the market for Surface goods. Though it is chilly and damp due to waterfalls and streams flowing through it, the hub is brightly lit with continual spells to accommodate all visitors. Light is reflected off of crystals embedded in the walls and crushed into the walkways.

There are four main enclaves in Mantol-Derith: drow, duergar, deep gnomes, and Zhentarim. Peace is maintained through private guards, an informal council of negotiators from each enclave, and an unspoken agreement to follow the few laws of the land:

  • Do not steal.
  • Do not disguise goods as anything else.
  • No use of magic during negotiations and haggling.

The punishment for breaking any rules is to be wrapped in chains and tossed into the Darklake.
