He not only keeps the horrors in their place, but he also tests any adventurers who dare to enter the murky depths of Undermountain. Halasten is master of this world, which acts as a barrier between Waterdeep and the horrors of the Underdark below. You start your adventure above ground, however, in the City of Waterdeep and just beneath its surface is the famed dungeon of Undermountain, a world fashioned by the mad wizard, Halasten. A torch will come in handy on this trip, or a light spell, or some other source of illumination. In fact, all the action is underground so there are a lot of subterranean structures and landscapes to scour. As it is your task to descend and confront the creatures of this terrible place there's not a lot of sunshine in Hordes of the Underdark.
