			The first chapter of the book aims at dungeon-delving or dungeonborn PCs. In addition to formally granting player race status to the [[goblin]] and [[kobold]], as well as bringing back the long-forgotten [[svirfneblin]], this first chapter contains 7 new character themes - the vengeance-craving Bloodsworn, the Deep Delver, the Escaped Aberrant Thrall, the Trapsmith, the Treasure Hunter, the Underdark Envoy and the Underdark Outcast - and an assortment of new skill powers and class powers, grouped under seven different rough themes:
			* "Fear of the Dark" - powers developed to counter (or take advantage of) the darkness below the earth.
			* Secrets of the Deep Guides - powers honed by a dedicated group of professional [[Underdark]] and [[dungeon]] delvers.
			* Shadows of the Ziggurat - powers gained from a twisted structure built around a rift in reality.
			* Seekers of Lost Lore - powers trained by those who explore dungeons for the lost secrets of the past.
			* Thieves' Guild of Maelbrathyr - powers honed by the deadly thieves of Maelbrathyr, a cursed city dragged into the [[Underdark]] by [[Torog]].
			* From the Vault of the Drow - powers developed by the drow.
			* Battle Tactics of Cor Talcor - powers learned from the brutal tutelage of a dwarf warrior school.
