The Story So Far
D
eep within the frozen wilds of the Silver Marches, nestled on
this frontier and far from the reach of the City of Neverwinter,
resides the revered Master Drogan. Sharpened by decades of quests
and exploits of lore, this dwarven mage imparts his wisdom to those
students willing to challenge themselves.
The riddles of wisdom and tales of fierce monsters grow with every
lesson, seemingly embellished by the anticipation of some type of
initiation. What kernel of wisdom will you derive from the next
enigmatic lesson? What daring adventures will you begin with your
next quest?

The Floating Cities of Netheril
The mages of the ancient Netherese Empire worked spells far
beyond the reach of the mages of these latter days. Perhaps chief
among their creations was the mythallar, the wondrous magical
device that enabled the Netherese to raise their fabled floating cities.
High above Faerun, the floating cities were mighty citadels safe
from virtually all enemies.
The cities were eventually brought low not by any outside force, but
by the pride and folly of the Netherese archmage Karsus, who
attempted to seize the power of the goddess of magic. He instead
managed to shatter the mythallars, sending all the cities of Netheril
plummeting to the ground.
The sands of the Anauroch desert swallowed the ruins, and Netheril
passed into history, then into legend. Now only the bravest of
explorers and adventurers dare to seek the lost cities, for the
rewards granted by magical treasures hidden within are easily
matched by the dangers of long-lost magic traps and the twisted
creatures that lurk in the buried chambers.
7
PLACES AND PEOPLE
Cities and Towns
Your journeys will take you through many lands of the Forgotten Realms,
from the Sword Coast North to the Savage Frontier. Below are listed
some of the more prominent cities and areas in the game.
The Silver Marches
The Marches is a vast region of northern wilderness more commonly
called the Savage Frontier. It is home to a small number of large,
well-defended cities and many smaller, but no less well-defended,
towns and villages. Citizens of more “civilized” lands in the south
consider it a wild land of barbarians and monsters. Those who call it
home consider it a land of great promise and beauty, but even they
do not deny the hazards posed by the harsh climate and countless
monsters.
Hilltop
Hilltop is one of the “Free Towns” in the Silver Marches. Recently
founded by ex-soldiers from the Zhentarim armies, the towns are
looked upon with suspicion by neighbors familiar with Zhent’s expansionist history. The inhabitants of the Free Towns maintain that they
are happy to be rid of the yoke of Zhentarim control, and wish to
make a new life for themselves. In addition to former Zhent soldiers,
the Free Towns tend to attract folk who are drawn to the local “live
and let live” attitude, and neighbors who don’t ask too many questions.
Anauroch
Known as The Great Waste, this tremendous desert was the result
of foul magics being leveled upon the lands of the Netheril, who
dwelt above then-grassy plains in floating cities raised by magic.
Now, few make it their home. Among them are the nomadic Bedine
and the Zhentarim, who seek to forge a permanent trade route
through the desert.

Adventurers
Dorna Trapspringer
When she heard Drogan had established a school for
adventurers and was taking on apprentices in Hilltop,
Dorna was one of the first to arrive and apply. She
traveled nearly 200 miles alone across the wilds of the
Silver Marches from her clan home in the moutains,
which many would consider proof enough that she
needed no instruction in survival. Still, she seems convinced that she is destined to face even greater danger,
and it’s unlikely that she’s wrong.
Xanos Messarmos
Born to the upper middle class of Chessenta, Xanos
found his razor-sharp wit a strong counter to the
barbs of his schoolmates in his youth. While no
longer young, Xanos still has an acerbic nature, but
now it masks his desire to fulfill the role of a true
adventurer and gain renown throughout the Realms.
Deekin Scalesinger
Deekin is a rather remarkable member of the Dripping
Fang clan of kobolds. Unlike other kobolds, Deekin
aspires to something “bigger” than mining, marauding
and looting. He aspires to be a skald, a noble northern
bard of legend. His goal is to write a heroic saga that
will rival any of the classics… his chief problem is that
his fellow kobolds are anything but heroic. Deekin has
recently decided that he’ll have to look a little further
afoot if he is going to find a hero befitting his saga.

Characters in the Tale
Master Drogan
After a long career as adventurer and explorer,
Drogan has retired and set up shop in the village
of Hilltop as an instructor. He teaches lessons
learned from years of close calls and narrow escapes
to a group of young hopefuls who are anxious to
start their own lives of adventure. Aside from his
stories and lessons of adventure, Drogan speaks little
of his past, though he exhibits all the hardened pragmatism typical of the northern Shield Dwarves.
Katriana Dorovnia
One of the few non-Zhents allowed to traverse the
Zhentarim’s Black Road freely, Katriana is a halfling
who has earned a reputation as a hard-nosed but fair
bargainer. She’s always looking for people who can
help expand her trading company, either by dealing
with it or by keeping it from harm as it travels
through dangerous regions.

Gorgon
Gorgons are bull-like creatures that
guard their territory fiercely. They are
fond of rocky areas, especially
underground labyrinths. A typical
gorgon stands over six feet tall at
the shoulder and measures eight
feet from snout to tail. Although
built like a bull, the gorgon is
covered with metallic black scales
and has silver horns. Its eyes burn red, giving the impression of two
hot coals set beneath its heavy brow.
Wyrmlings
Wyrmlings are dragons that have just hatched from the
egg. From newborn to about five years old, wyrmlings
are only about two to five feet long. Wyrmlings have
all the abilities of their older brothers and sisters, but are
far less powerful. Nevertheless,
it is a fool who approaches a wyrmling
without caution.
Faerie Dragons and Pseudodragons
Pseudodragons are tiny, playful
members of the dragon family,
red-brown in color with fine
scales, short horns and sharp
teeth. While capable of
delivering vicious bites,
the pseudodragon’s main
weapon is its flexible tail, which
is about two feet long and barbed.
Faerie dragons have emerald-green scales and brightly colored butterfly wings. Some faerie dragons and pseudodragons may seek
humanoid companionship, and often serve as familiars to wizards.
11
FOES
T
he creatures listed below are found in the wilds and dungeons
around the Forgotten Realms. Note: You can immediately see how
difficult a creature is to defeat by selecting the “Examine” option from
the radial menu while playing.
Medusa
The medusa is a hateful, repulsive creature that turns
living beings into stone with its gaze. It prizes art
objects, fine jewelry, and wealth. A medusa is indistinguishable from a normal human at distances greater
than 30 feet. Once the creature is clearly visible, its
true nature is revealed. Its hideous face is crowned
with a mass of writhing, hissing snakes instead of hair
and its eyes glow a deep red. In contrast, its body is
perfectly proportioned and exceptionally attractive,
although scaly and earthen colored.
Medusas are found in nearly every climate. Some dwell in large cities,
becoming active in the criminal underworld to gain what they desire.
Basilisk
The basilisk is a reptilian monster that petri-
fies living creatures with a mere gaze.
Fighting a basilisk requires either
careful preparation or considerable
good fortune. Basilisks are found in
nearly every climate, and tend to
build lairs in sheltered subterranean
areas, such as caves and shallow bur-
rows. A basilisk usually has a dull brown
body with a yellowish underbelly. A single
row of bony spines lines its back, and some speci-
mens sport a short, curved horn atop the nose. An
adult basilisk grows to about six feet long, not including its tail, which can
reach an additional five to seven feet.

PLAYER’S HANDBOOK
T
he Shadows of Undrentide is an adventure featuring all-new skills
and feats with which your characters may grow, as well as five
new prestige classes. For this reason, Shadows of Undrentide has been
created as a campaign that works best starting with a new, 1st-level
character. However, those who prefer to use a pre-existing character
may do so.
Note: There are certain places in Shadows of Undrentide where you
will not be able to rest as you could in the original game. Some dungeons or caves are not suitable for a character to lay his or her head
down to recuperate, as they are damp, noisy, rocky, or too dangerous.
Note: In hardcore mode, petrification is permanent.
Prestige Classes
Shadows of Undrentide adds a new option for character development
called prestige classes. Prestige classes are like regular classes,
except that they have requirements that must be met before one can
attain the class. These powerful classes grant characters unique new
abilities unavailable to the base classes. Some classes may require a
certain number of ranks in one or more skills, others may require
the ability to cast arcane or divine spells.
Each class has a range of abilities that make it substantially different
from the other classes. These abilities are an integral part of your
character’s class, and mastering them will aid you.
Arcane Archer
Master of the elven war bands, the arcane archer is a war-
rior skilled in using magic to supplement his combat prowess.
Fighters, rangers, paladins and barbarians become arcane archers to
add a little magic to their combat abilities. Conversely, wizards and sorcerers may adopt this prestige class to add combat capabilities to their
repertoires.
• Hit Dice: d8
• Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons, light and medium
armor, and shields
• Skill Points: 4 + Int. modifier
13
Sphinx
A sphinx is an enigmatic creature with great,
feathery wings and the body of a lion. Often
very intelligent, they constantly seek out challenges for their staggering intellects.
Riddles, puzzles, and other such things
delight them to no end.
Formians
Formians are dimensional travelers that come
from a plane devoted to law. Their colonies
include: Workers, who make up most of a population;
Taskmasters, who drive the Workers; Soldiers, who
fiercely protect the colony and queen; Mymarchs,
who are intelligent enough to have learned to use
magic; and the Queen, who leads the whole colony.
They are ruthlessly expansionist, though not actually evil.
Stingers
Stingers are a warlike race of scorpion-centaurs.
They have a complex society that seems incomprehensible to other races. They are known for
divining the future through the vibrations of the
earth. Witnesses have also seen them scuttle
by in strange, aggressive “races” that have no
clear purpose. Both male and female stingers
fight in service to their chieftain, and even
small tribes will contain a powerful shaman.
Stingers live in twisting colonies dug out of the sand or rock.

10th level.
Blackguard
A blackguard epitomizes evil. He is nothing short of a mortal fiend, a black knight with the foulest sort of reputation.
A blackguard is an evil villain of the first order, equivalent
in power to the righteous paladin, but devoted to the powers of
darkness. No one class makes the best blackguard — all that is
required is a willingness to serve the forces of darkness.
15
Requirements
To qualify as an arcane archer, a character must fulfill all of the
following criteria:
• Race: Elf or half-elf
• Base Attack Bonus: +6
• Feats: Weapon Focus Longbow or Weapon Focus Shortbow,
Point Blank Shot

• Arrow of Death: This ability, gained at the 10th level, allows the
arcane archer to, once per day, fire an arrow that can instantly kill
an opponent.
Assassin
The assassin is a master of dealing quick, lethal blows.
Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire,
or agents of vengeance. The assassin’s skill in a variety of
dark arts allows him to carry out missions of death with shocking,
terrifying precision. Rogues, monks and bards are ideal candidates
for training as assassins.
Unlike the blackguard, the assassin is not evil due to devotion to an
evil power, but rather due to a complete lack of morals or ethics.
These ruthless and avaricious killers have but one requirement other
than a predisposition for evil and a penchant for stealth. They must
kill another intelligent being for no other reason than pay.

Many Harpers are bards, but by no means all. Ranger, rogue,
sorcerer and wizard are common vocations for Harpers, as these
classes tend to have versatility and mobility. All have some skill at
manipulating others, a resistance to outside mental influences, acute
abilities of perception, and a talent for solving problems.
Not all Harpers are members of the Harper scout prestige class, and
rank within the organization does not depend upon a character’s
level in this or any other class. However, most of the higher-ranked
Harpers have at least one level in the Harper scout prestige class.
The highest-ranked Harpers are called the High Harpers, and they
are responsible for most of the long-term planning for the organization.
The High Harpers are voted into their position by a secret ballot
among the other High Harpers, with the criteria being experience,
exceptional service, and discretion in implementing the Harpers’ plans.
• Hit Die: d6

Abilities
• Harper Knowledge: Like a bard, a Harper scout has a knack for

like the bardic knowledge ability of the bard class. If a Harper
scout has bard levels, the character’s Harper scout levels and bard
levels stack for bardic knowledge.
• Favored Enemy: A Harper scout selects a favored enemy just as
a ranger does. Upon reaching 4th level as a Harper scout, the
bonus against the Harper scout’s first favored enemy increases
to +2, and she gains a new favored enemy at +1.

Strength once per day. At 6th level, the blackguard gains the ability to

Harper Scout

balance between civilization and the wild. Harpers learn
arcane spells and many skills to help them in their duties of espionage, stealth and reporting information.

Shadowdancers often work in troupes, never staying in one place
too long. Some use their abilities to entertain. Others operate as
thieves, using their abilities to infiltrate past defenses and dupe others.
All shadowdancer troupes maintain an aura of mystery among the
populace, who never know whether to think well or ill of them.
• Hit Dice: d8
• Proficiencies: simple weapons, light armor
• Skill Points: 6 + Int modifier
Requirements
To qualify as a shadowdancer, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria:
• Skills: Move Silently 8 ranks, Hide 10 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks
• Feats: Dodge, Mobility
Abilities
• Hide in Plain Sight: The shadowdancer is able to use the Hide
skill even while being observed.
• Shadow Daze: Once per day, the shadowdancer may inflict an
illusory daze upon a target. This daze lasts for five rounds.
• Summon Shadow: Once per day, the shadowdancer can summon
a shadow. This shadow is extremely difficult to turn and becomes
more powerful as the shadowdancer gains levels.
• Shadow Evade: Three times per day, the shadowdancer can call
upon the shadows in the area to help conceal her. The shadowdancer gains a concealment bonus, damage reduction and an AC
bonus that improves with experience.
19
• Deneir’s Eye: At 2nd level, the Harper scout gains a +2 holy bonus
to saving throws against traps. This is a supernatural ability.
• Tymora’s Smile: At 3rd level, once per day, the Harper scout or a
target receives a +2 saving throw bonus on all saving throws for 5
turns. This is a supernatural ability.
• Lliira’s Heart: At 4th level, the Harper scout gains a +2 holy
bonus to saving throws against mind-affecting spells. This is a
supernatural ability.
• Spells: These spells are cast as arcane spells, so they are subject to
arcane spell failure if the Harper scout is wearing armor: At 2nd
level, the Harper scout gains the ability to cast the spell Sleep once
per day. At 3rd level, the Harper scout gains the ability to cast the
spell Cat’s Grace once per day. At 4th level, the Harper scout gains
the ability to cast Eagle’s Splendor once per day. At 5th level, the
Harper scout gains the ability to cast the spell Invisibility once per day.
• Craft Harper Item: At 5th level, the Harper scout gains the ability to create two types of potions. The Harper scout can create one
potion per day, either a Cat’s Grace potion or Eagle’s Splendor.
To create either potion, the Harper scout must spend 60 gold and
5 experience points. These potions allow a Harper scout to better
support her agents and allies.
Shadowdancer
Operating in the border between light and darkness, shadowdancers are nimble artists of deception. They are mysterious
and unknown, never completely trusted but always inducing
wonder when met.
Rogues, bards and monks make excellent shadowdancers, but
fighters, barbarians, rangers and paladins also find that shadowdancer abilities allow them to strike at their opponents with surprise
and skill. Wizard, sorcerer, cleric and druid shadowdancers employ
the defensive capabilities inherent in the prestige class to allow them
to cast their spells from safety and move away quickly. Despite their
link with shadows and trickery, shadowdancers are as often good as
evil. They may use their incredible abilities as they wish.
