My players should shoo. Go away. Read not lest ye be spoilered!
That out of the way, I have need to know what is in the Darklands under Andoran? Specifically under the most peaceful, rural, insignificant town in Andoran.
Is there a decent map of the Darklands anywhere that includes this info?
What of the deepest vaults can be reached directly below the country?
Is there a drow population there? Or nearby?

Under the glittering, idealistic facade of the "enlightened" country, I'd say that there's a dangerous potential for imperialism, hubris, and nationalistic fervor, and a desire to forcibly spread their freedom to other nations. This is evident in their violent response to Katapeshi slavers and their poor ability to negotiate on an international le-
Oh. Did you mean, like, physically below?
Well, the Candlestone Caverns are below Andoran, accessed via the Aspodell mountains. They hold a rift (the Endless Gulf) that reaches all the way through the crust of the planet, down to the Midnight Mountains vault. It connects all three Darklands layers, meaning that Sekamina, the home of the drow, is accessible from the rift.

Helpful interactive map, including Darklands.
TheGreatWot is right, Candlestone Caverns are the biggest point of interest, Darklands-wise.
Thank you both. I'll definitely be using the info provided tomorrow.

This made me lol. I was going to make a similar joke.
*tips hat*
Okay. All seems to be going well. The PCs are on a wild goose chase after a Moonmilk addicted barkeeper from their hometown of Oldfen.
I've sent them down a ventilation shaft above the Gallery of Wonders at the top of Candlestone Caverns.
For now they're merrily chasing their less than rational quarry. If and when they decide to become less enthusiastic about going deeper I'm prepared to use a flash flood hazard to move them along.
I'm looking at the The Beggar's Pearl adventure right now looking to scavenge what premade resources I can.
At the time I just guessed but now I'm doubting my decision. I had them climbing down for a day and a night.
The guy they are following started leaving bloody handprints then eventually even bloody toeprints making him easy for them (and anything else with a decent sense of smell!) to track. I guessed that that was far enough of a climb for that effect.
But now I'm wondering about how fast they could climb down vs how deep they actually ARE beneath the surface.
