Welcome to the Underdark City!

Mostly residential buildings sprinkle this neighborhood, with the exception of a temple to the Spider Queen, a prison, a bathhouse, an inn, and some artisan stores.

This map pack features Shadowfell, Hell, Haunted, Aboveground, and Mushroom variants. Foundry VTT modules with pre-built walls and lighting are available to patrons.

Download the map for free here.

The map looks great, but the title being City makes me think of the villages in Skyrim being called Cities. I am sure that this is only part of the city, but it just reminded me of the tricks we often use to help players believe they are somewhere larger and more real than they are. Anyways, it looks great! I'd certainly use that kind of map if I used a VTT.

There are several pre-modern cities with populations as little as 10,000 in history. When I consider that I used to live in this town:

Well, that's a town of about 3500 people. A third of a "city". I could bike from end to end of it in minutes, and over the three years I lived there I probably got to know well over half the population by face.

So if "Underdark City" is a pre-modern city with a population in this range, I could easily see this map as being a (smallish) neighbourhood of the city.
