Cyclopean Deeps Vol 1.
Cyclopean Deeps, the adventures included in this series concern regions of the Under Realms, an area commonly portrayed by authors who choose to focus upon the sinister drow and other such well-known denizens of the deep caverns. What is not well understood is that the dark elves often inhabit the safer areas, the outlying boundaries of darkness, as it were. Read on to learn of the more esoteric, secret places in the Under Realms, the deepest cauldrons of evil.
The Cyclopean Deeps, as a campaign, is appropriate for a party of 4+ characters with an average level of 10–12, or 8+ characters with an average level around 7.
Because the Cyclopean Deeps are located deeper than most traditional dungeons, it is extremely easy to locate them anywhere in a campaign world. The bizarre underground cultures of the Deeps are not expected to “mesh” with anything in the surface world, and the entrances and exits are generally unknown to surface dwellers. Certain mentions are made in this series of the vaults of the sunless sea, located generally to the north of the Deeps themselves. This area refers to a very famous series of adventure modules from the 1980s, which shall not be specified by name. However, anyone familiar with these modules will recognize the hints included in the name and general description of that area. It is, of course, not necessary to link the Cyclopean Deeps up with any modules from the “old days” … but it can be a lot of fun!
