Fluvenilstra

Fluvenilstra was an Underdark city known to few on the surface, an unexpected oasis in the otherwise inhospitable depths of the Lowerdark. It was sometimes identified as the Garden City of Great Bhaerynden, for no Underdark settlement in the region and perhaps in all of Faerûn could rival it in sheer abundance of edible and useful Underdark flora.

Description
Fluvenilstra was a magical but small city commonly considered the homeland of the slyth race. It was their largest known settlement, the only known place where more than a few dozen gathered at once.

Geography
Fluvenilstra was located a little less than, beneath the Shaar Desolation in southern Faerûn, about northwest of Shaarmid.

Geographical Features
Fluvenilstra benefitted from water that no longer reached the desert of the surface. It trickled down from cracks in the cave ceiling, collecting in a scummy moat around the edge of Fluvenilstra's circular cavern.

Flora & Fauna
Fluvenilstra was a jungle of plant life, hosting a motley of fungi and flowering lichens in a wide spectrum of colors and shapes. Large patches of green, lumniescent fungi grew unevenly along the floors and ceilings, providing enough light to most of the city for low-light vision to be sufficient, while all manner of life grew along the walls, nourished by the water above.

Besides the mundane plants, an assortment of magical plant-life could be found throughout the Garden City. Plants did not merely grow on the walls, some of the buildings were formed from magically enhanced plants. Roaming the city and nearby caverns were various plant creatures, including Lowerdark variations of shambling mounds, assassin vines and phantom fungi.

Government
The city was governed by a circle of druids known as the Circle of the Depths.

Military
Fluvenilstra had an armed force of several hundred.

Inhabitants
As well as genasi, the city had a number of myconid residents.
