AFTERWORD
In the Rage of Demons story. demon lords invade the
Undcrdark and spread madness throughout the subter-
ranean realm. (As if the lJnderdark wasn't dangerous
t'nough already!) The Undcrdark is home to some of the
0&0 game·~ most ic·onir monsters. as well as cultures
both alien and wondrous.
To bring the Underdark to life, Richard Whitters and
his concept artists created amazing imagery tied to
various Underdark races: kuo-toa waymarkers. illithid
"brain urns" and domiciles. duergar architecture. drow
costuming. and much, much more. Their concept art
was featured a "story bible" that we gave to our licensed
par tners. That s tory bible served as inspiration for
miniatures, digital projects, and prim products like the
aclvcnturr you hold in your hands.
This appendix contains a samplin~ of the concept art
we commissioned for the Rage of Demons story. We
hope that this art furthe r inspires you to run Out of the
Abyss or c reate your own Undcrdark encounters.AP'li.RWORIJ-Chris Perkins
