Underpall Cave is a large cave between Bruma and Chorrol containing necromancers (plugin-related). [edit] It contains five zones: Underpall Cave, Underpall Keep, Underpall Keep - North Wing, Underpall Keep - South Wing, and Underpall Reflecting Chamber.

Notes

• This cave leads to an underground fort, Underpall Keep. Three of the zones are within the keep.
• Many of the undead are archers, often located on inaccessible ledges where they have good shots at you.
• The only necromancer is in the fifth zone, the Underpall Reflecting Chamber.
• This area is associated with the official plug-in Knights of the Nine, which makes a few minor changes to the fifth zone (Underpall Reflecting Chamber), including the addition of the tomb of Lord Berich Vlindrel.
• This cave contains 8 Cairn Bolete plants and 6 Wisp Stalk plants.
