Slitherswamp

Slitherswamp was the eighth level of Undermountain. Originally a collection of temples dedicated to evil yuan-ti gods, the yuan-ti were wiped out by spirit nagas. In light of this event, Halaster Blackcloak brought in a bullywug tribe, governed by a cruel death slaad.

Inhabitants

 * The Ssethian Scourges: These were three spirit nagas who once fought the yuan-ti on this level, eventually emerging victorious. The nagas maintained a stable of thralls, controlling them with a rod of rulership.


 * The Blacktongues: Sent in by Halaster Blackcloak, this bullywug tribe acted quickly, enslaving four carrion crawlers and a hydra. The death slaad king's control gem was kept on level 9, Dweomercore, and Halaster Blackcloak forced the slaad to rule over the bullywugs.


 * Karstis of Dweomercore: The mages on level 9, Dweomercore, had sent a spy of their own, a mage named Karstis.
