Philock
- Forgotten Realms : Underdark -
The ruins of this ancient Netherese city lie in the Upperdark, in a region known as the Netherese Caverns. Like Anauria and Hlondath, Philock was a successor state of Netheril, founded in the years after the great empire’s fall. The city is built in a large rift in the heart of the cavern system. Its buildings stretch through the floor of the canyon and also scale its lower reaches.
Old cave-ins or landslides have buried most of Philock under tons of rock. Intrepid adventurers have tried to excavate parts of the ruins, but with little result. Only a recent drow expedition well-equipped with slave labor has met with any success, but after uncovering an intact stairwell, the slaves doing the excavation fell ill from a deadly inhalation poison (lungrot; see Diseases in Chapter 7). This fact has cooled the drow’s ardor for continuing the process.
Lungrot: This disease most often strikes air-breathing creatures that have been sealed inside ancient ruins.
¹Successful saves do not allow the character to recover. Only magical healing can save the character.
