#Inktober2017 - Map 20 - "Deep"

Another piece for the "Heart of Darkling" series of maps I've been posting to the blog for a few months, this small fortress is one most people traveling down the undergroun Darkling river will avoid. While several of the stops so far have included methods of getting to the surface, this fortress instead links up to the underdark proper.

The drow who guard this fortress call it "The Weeping Outpost" and while assignments here are important (as it guards a "back entrance" into the heart of their deeper territories, most dark elves have no love for the damp and cold place - too close to the surface to be comfortable and too far from the strange comforts they enjoy in the depths.
