Neverlight Grove

Communities of myconids can be found throughout the Underdark. These intelligent, vaguely humanoid fungi lead lives of work and shared contemplation, providing shelter and safe passage to any who approach them peacefully.

The relative isolation of Neverlight Grove, it's abundance of food and water, and the welcoming nature of its inhabitants sometimes brings travelers here to rest, recuperate, and enjoy much-needed respite from the brutal and harrowing conditions of the Underdark.

As of late, this myconid haven isn't as safe as it might appear. One of its sovereigns has fallen under the sway of Zuggtmoy, the Demon Queen of Fungi, who wasted no time building herself a stronghold in a colossal mushroom called Yggmorgus. There, she works on a malevolent scheme to claim all the Underdark as her domain. More and more myconids are slowly becoming unwitting thralls under her control, and anyone who lingers in Nverlight Grove might find themselves in great peril.

History

Myconids have lived in Neverlight Grove for untold generations, experiencing little or no change in their lives until recently. Now their world is being altered faster than many of the fungus folk can keep up with - as is their world view, twisted by the chaotic and corrupting influence of the Demon Queen of fungi.
