I ran the FR adventure in Dungeon 159 - Menace of the Icy Spire.
(refer to my post http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1098648 )

The summary of that post is that I need a Netherese ruin to run my PCs thru...

I answer my own question in that I think a good plan will be to use the 3.5 Adventure "Anauroch" and convert, starting with Chapter 2: The Crypt of Augathra the Mad p.46, as that section seems like the best fit for exploring a Netherese ruin site.

So I will begin converting soon (hopefully) to 4e, but If anyone wants to jump in and convert, feel free!

Oh, this conversion will be designed for 4e PCs of lvls 6-10 or so.

Negarath. And let me tell you... that place is just plain frightening.

There are other reasons too. But I can't mention them here. Yet!

-Don't think so. Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide isn't canon or anything, so, regardless of what happened in the game (and I don't remember it doing much crashing or anything), it exists, it's a ruin, so there you go.

Actually, the enclave of Undrentide is marked on the "Netheril At Its Height" map on pg. 32 of Grand History of the Realms.

-Yes, hence me saying that Undrentide exists, and that it's a ruin regardless of what happened in the video game, which was not canon. :P

Show
After the PC defeats the BBEG of SoU, the flying Undrentide begins to fall to the ground, and the PC manages to escape (into the Plane of Shadow, no less) before going down with it.

Of course, we never actually see Undrentide crash, so... And of course, I agree that one can in truth just use it however one wants to.

Indeed, the ruins should still be there somewhere in the desert.

But Undrentide and Negarath only appear in a PC game and a novel.

I am looking for something written for dnd, i.e. a module, to convert. So it still seems like Anauroch is still my best bet...

Re: Negarath.

Take special note of what I said earlier:-

Right, but we mentioned them for you just in case you were interested in using them.

-Undrentide appears in AGHotR. That it exists is canon. Everything else, not necessarily so, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to throw it all out/ignore it. In other words, you can take a look at the maps and plots of Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide, and use them/alter them, to suit your needs, should you choose to.

-That's what I meant by that.

As does Negarath, in the Hammer 1 entry for 1375 DR.

-Yes, that's a novel. The canonicity of Negarath was never in question. Undrentide being in the video game, however, it's was.
