Note from the Author/Disclaimer: I've decided to do my own take on the Hordes of the Underdark campaign and use characters from some of my plays on the OC and SOU as well as BG2 and mix them with the well known legends of the Forgotten Realms. With that said, here we go with the disclaimers-Drizzt Do'Ourden, Innovidil, Jarlaxle, & Artemis Enteri are the intellectual property of R.A. Salvatore; Liriel Baerne is the property of Elaine Cunningham. The story and my own characters as it stands is mine.
Part I
The Calm before the Storm
10 Eleasias 1373 DR "Year of Rogue Dragons"
Maybe it is too complicated a tale to tell; but
maybe it is too simple as well; but yet it does need telling or it will be forgotten. It was in that year that Waterdeep,
The City of Splendors; came under attack from below by Beholders,
Illithids, Druegar, and other nightmare creatures that not even
madmen could see in their nightmares. None other than the evil Drow;
bretheren to the Surface elves; led this army of horror. As the city
began to collapse and the militia unable to do something, the Lords
of Waterdeep sent out a call to all corners of Faerun for adventurers
willing to face the Drow and drive them back into their dark holes.
Those that answered the call came far and wide and included some of
the Realm's finest and most valiant. They would be what drove the Drow back and beyond.
This is their tale…
