Good source material?


Second Darkness


I always liked, elves, elven society and Underdark in General.

And I already have:
- Into the Darklands;
- Darklands Revisited;
- Wayfinder #9 The Darklands;
- Elves of Golarion and;
- Advanced Race Guides.

And LI was looking in the Pathfinder Wiki at this Path. While it might not be something I would necessarely run (although I don't might converting) I was wondering if the various articles concerning Elves/Drow and the nderdark (especially in book 3, 4, and 5 and the player's guide IIRC) would be worth buying it nontheless.

In other words, Are those book good Source Material for the Darklands and the Elves or not?

On a side note, any other ressources for Elves/Drown, Darklands or Darklands denizen you would recommand?


The Second Darkness Player's Guide does not have any information about the drow. This is the AP which was supposed to "introduce" the drow to Golarion, so they were not common knowledge at the beginning of the AP.

The Armageddon Echo has an article on the ruined city of Celwynvian and the article "Drow of the Darklands." Subheads in the latter article are Drow Society, Life in the Darklands, Craft and Perversion, Drow Politics, Drow Cities and Settlements, and Death of a Drow. There are two drow racial feats and two drow prestige classes. Keep in mind, Second Darkness was written for 3.5 so the mechanics aren't going to line up perfectly with PfRPG.

Endless Night has an article on Zirnikaynin, which is excellent if you want to run a campaign in that city, and the article "Abominations of the Drow," which is all about fleshwarping.

A Memory of Darkness has an article on Kyonin and the Calistria write-up which is now housed in Inner Sea Gods.

I honestly don't recall how much of this information (other than the Calistria article) might have been reprinted elsewhere since the AP came out. I think the Zirnikaynin article and map are excellent, if you're interested in an adventure in that city.


So definitely something that could be useful (or at the very least those 3 modules could be). I knew they were a 3.5 ed AP, but I do have the conversion document and with a bit of tweeking we can usually make it work.
