  Trinkets of Skullport
  Trinkets of Skullport
  Deep underneath the vast dungeon complex of Undermountain lies the grimy criminal outpost of 
  Skullport. To the people of the surface world, Skullport is a rumor, a tall tale to be told in a tavern 
  over a pint of ale or two. To the criminal underworld, Skullport is the base of operations for criminals 
  escaping justice or for those nefarious individuals seeking to join the beholders Xanathar’s criminal 
  organization, who makes his home there. The few surface dwellers who know of Skullport’s existence 
  often have little clue of how to reach this dark, lawless reflection of Waterdeep. Maps of how to reach 
  Skullport do exist, but for every accurate map of Skullport’s location, a hundred more false maps were 
  created to keep the cities location a secret.
  Skullport is long past its heyday and has fallen into disrepair or outright ruin. Streets once full of activ-
  ity are mostly barren, and the commerce the city was once known for has largely dried up. Xanathar, 
  the beholder, has recently taken control of the city and uses it as a base of operations and a hideout 
  from his various enemies, not the least is the authorities of Waterdeep.
  The trinkets below represent items an adventurer might encounter while hold up in Skullport. Many 
  of the trinkets also act as adventure hooks for further ventures and forays in the dark city and beyond.
