Descent Into the Depths of the Earth is the name of a First Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons module. This is a combined adventure which re-published two related adventures: D1 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth and D2 Shrine of the Kuo-Toa.
The original D1 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth module featured black and white cover artwork. The module is actually the fourth part of a seven-part series beginning with G1-3 Against the Giants modules. After defeating the Giants, the adventurers can journey underground through a vast network of caverns and tunnels called the Underdark.
The D2 Shrine of the Kuo-Toa module also featured black and white cover artwork. Originally produced as two separate monochrome modules, D1 and D2 were eventually combined into the color-covered D1-2 Descent into the Depths of the Earth. The series continued with the module D3 Vault of the Drow.
[edit] Novelization
The module was the basis for the novel of the same title, published by Wizards of the Coast in the year 2000; written by Paul Kidd. It was the second novel of the Justicar and Escalla trilogy.
