The Desolate Depths is a region of the Underdark where the darkest of the dark have moved by either force or desire to not be bothered by other denizens of the deep. This area is located under the northwest lands of Raden. Many links to the surface world can be discovered in some of the remotest of areas in the Spire Peaks, The Starla Forest, and further north. Some of these entrances can be guarded by some of the denizens, but many are not and stray animals and wayward sentient beings have wandered into the Underdark unknowingly, and most of the time, have disappeared.
Two of the most despised drow houses have been forced to relocate here. House Derlenae, whose symbol is that of a 6-legged spider, acknowledging their rift from the other drow by being represented by the malformed creature of reverence. House Jrix was banished from patronage of the larger dark elf houses in The Darkrich region of the Underdark. They were found conspiring with Illithids to overthrow the entire existence of the House structure of the dark elves in their capital city of Zanbrerrilor.
Along with these notorious houses, this area is filled with some of the darkest-hearted creatures.
