There are no shadows in the Underdark.
Only after years on the surface have I come to understand the significance of that seemingly minute fact, the significance of the contrast between light and darkness. There are no shadows in the Underdark, no areas of mystery where only the imagination can go. There are no shadows in the Underdark. There is no room for imagination in the Underdark. It is a place for alertness, but not aliveness, a place with no room for hopes and dreams. This proved the most difficult transition for me when I went back into those lightless corridors. I had to again become the primal hunter, surviving, every moment on that instinctual edge, a state of nervous energy that kept my muscles taut, always ready to spring. Every step of the way, the present was all that mattered, the search for potential hiding places of potential enemies. I could not afford to imagine those enemies. I had to wait for them and watch for them, react to any movements. One cannot walk the corridors of the Underdark with his imagination beside him. To imagine an enemy behind one stone might well blind a person to the very real enemy behind another. To slip into a daydream is to lose that edge of readiness, and in the Underdark, to be unwary is to die. To imagine a crouched enemy or a hidden treasure is an exercise in enjoyment, a conjured state of aliveness. But when that enemy is too often real and not imagined, when every jag in the stone, every potential hiding place, becomes a source of tension, then the game is not so much fun. When I walk the woods at twilight, my imagination walks beside me, heightens my senses, opens my mind to any possibilities. But there are no shadows in the Underdark, and no room for fanciful imagining. All, everywhere, is gripped in a brooding, continual, predatory hush and a real, ever-present danger. What a marvelous thing is a shadow! I have seen my own silhouette walk under me as the sun rode high; I have seen a gopher grow to the size of a large bear, the light low behind him, spreading his ominous silhouette far across the ground. I have walked through the woods at twilight, my gaze alternating between lighter areas catching the last rays of day, leafy green slipping to gray, and darkening patches where only my minds eye could go. Might a monster be there? An orc or a goblin! Or
might a hidden treasure, as magnificent as a lost, enchanted sword or as simple as a foxs den, lay within the sheltering gloom?

Drizzt and his faithful Companion Guenhwyvar have been the focus of many books and adventures. Truly one of my favorite Characters of all literature. So I'm gonna attempt to begin to bring his story and world to you, Orc Soup style. First I thought we would just do a reading of his guide to the Underdark from Forgotten Realms.
