Does your setting have an equivalent to the great Molasses Flood of 1919? If not, tell us about any other major floods that may have happened.

Who is world famous in your setting? Did they make their name through clean methods, or are they merely a puppet? What's their end game?

Tell us about the architecture in your setting. Where does it draw inspiration from?

So I've been laying the groundwork for a 4e megadungeon campaign, but I've been getting nervous. Since it has been a while since I've done so much prep work I'm afraid I'll muck some things up in the process. Does anyone have any advice and/or experiences with megadungeons to help steer me in the right direction? Xp distribution, structure, fun tidbits etc, etc... I really want to make this campaign work.
