Rumors

Rumor puts the count of drow cities to around forty or so but the harsh conditions of the Underdark can change that number on a regular basis.  A typical drow city has around 35,000 drow besides sometimes up to double that number of slaves.  Menzoberranzan is a relatively small city of 20,000 drow but it is known as Menzoberranzan the Mighty.  The faithful Menzoberranyr drow know that if they call upon Lolth in need they may receive aid.  There is a 10 percent chance per level of this happening (minus 10 percent for each time aid has been called for in the last 33 days).  Such aid will always be temporary and accompanied by the arrival of some sort of spider.  Lolth always exacts her price later; often a difficult, dangerous mission or service.  Alternatively, Lolth may send spiders to attack foes of beleaguered drow; this form of aid does not “cost” anything.

Eryndlyn – a fierce three way rivalry between the worshippers of Lolth, Ghaunadaur, and Vhaeraun.  This city is also known to trade with humans along the Sword Coast from hidden caves somewhere in the High Moor.

Llurth Dreier – known for worship of Ghaunadaur only, a city of 400,000 drow ruling vast fungi-farm caverns under The Shaar, northwest of The Deep Realms of the dwarves.

Sshamath – somewhere beneath The Far Hills, there is a drow city dominated by mages with the priestesses in positions of minor power.

Sschindylryn – a distant city, rumor of a gate being discovered to another plane

Maeralyn – far, far to the south, this city has invaded another drow city, that of Jhachlkhyn

Dusklyngh – in the Northern Cold Reaches of the Underdark, has recently expanded tunnels created by purple worms to allow easy access for surface raids

Other Deities

Malyk – The Dark Mage, represents wild and evil magic – all that is mysterious and a challenge to authority.  Some wild mages will worship him and folk of the Underdark will begin hearing of him and his servants more and more.
