Undermountain Lore & Spells (Q8)

Spell Monographs

• A large grey tent, its opening flanked by tall, flat slate pillars on which passers-by may mark out small maps from memory of places in Undermountain they have been to.

• The interior of the tent is furnished with plenty of comfortable chairs, and a stand of casks from the Yawning Portal, filled with some of Durnan's own Black Well Stout. It is set up to provide folk plenty of space and opportunity to share their experiences in Undermountain. The proprietors offer simple printed sheets with the tent's offering, but encourage folk who aren't even buying to stay and either chat or listen.
