Outkast

Outkast is an underdark metropolis made as a  safe zone for the various underground races. It is ran by a board of the wealthiest citizens that actually own the city. It is possible to buy into the board but it is unknown what amount it would take. Outkast is built in a large cavern illuminated by a central giant mushroom. The mushroom is carved hollow and the top serves as the business offices for the board. There is a walkway spiralling up the mushroom and the stem houses several merchant spaces. The less wealthy denizens of Outkast live in stone houses on the cavern floor. Outkast main export is pearls farmed from a large underground lake in the cavern. Most of the space for mining is rented from the board, with a small amount kept for themselves. The people of Outkast are known to make magnificent armor from the pearls they farm. The armor is revered and very costly to acquire.
