I've covered this a time or six before, but the short answers are: Fungi. Lots and lots of fungi. Snails. Slimes. And lizards (worn-out pack lizards and all of the smaller varieties). #realmslore

What else do Underfolk tend to eat? I'm assuming whatever meat they can get their hands on is... "foul" would be a kind description.

... Does that include the richer races, such as the drow?

Yes. These things form the bulk of drow diets. Drow also (due to surface raids and trade) have access to other foodstuffs, but due to ongoing rarity these are "treats" (expensive). The drow do rear herds of pack lizards and farm "forests" of fungi in guarded caverns. #realmslore

Well, this sort of lifestyle explains much of Underdark culture. No wonder they're so rude.

I have another question that I'd really like an answer to, but I don't know if it's NDA or if you've simply never seen it. nitter.poast.org/XynRaven/status/200344…

Unrelated, but who were the rules of Neverwinter from the days of Halueth Never up to those of Nasher Alagondar? And how was the succession line, given that Nasher only took the title of king later on? And more to the point, how did Nasher become Lord Protector?

Yep. I've done a video on this, and it says everything I can say without smashing several NDAs (thanks to Neverwinter being a 4e Realms focus). Sorry. For now; may be able to say more later.

Thank you for finally seeing and answering it. Should I ask again in a month or so?

It will likely take longer, before I can answer, but by all means ask in a month and keep it on my radar.
