[7], During Matron Mother Quenthel Baenre's reign, Sos'Umptu originally served as First Priestess of House Baenre.

[23][26][29][52], First Daughter of House Melarn, Halisstra is made house-less in the destruction of Ched Nasad, and joins Quenthel's group.
After the drow ranger Drizzt Do'Urden wreaks havoc on House Baenre when escaping from its prison chambers, Matron Baenre convinces the other drow houses to assault Mithral Hall in revenge. After a long, grievous battle, Dyrr nearly attains victory with the help of Nimor before Lolth restores the priestess' powers, and Triel turns the tide in Gromph's favor. He immediately helps bolster the defense of the city against the duergar and tanuruuk armies that have reached and begun to lay siege to Menzoberranzan. This could represent "normal" character growth since his last write-up. [32], Paul S. Kemp (Resurrection): "Finding someone to finish a series after five novels from five different authors is no easy task. [22][26][28][29][52][53], Son of Triel and the demon Belshazu, Jeggred is a Draegloth, half Drow half Demon. She then orders the destruction of the traitor House Agrach Dyrr, who eventually become a vassal house to House Baenre. The compound is roughly oval in shape, three-eighths of a mile long and a quarter mile wide, and surrounded by a magnificent and magical fence, appearing as a silvery spider's web around the general blue hues of the Baenre compound. "[22] Though Insurrection is Reid's first novel in the Forgotten Realms world, he has done much in the way of editing for both the Forgotten Realms and Dungeons and Dragons campaign settings, Richard Baker (Condemnation): "Rich Baker's combination of talents in both fiction and game design makes him the perfect author for this book. Jarlaxle, third son of Yvonnel Baenre, is the opportunistic mercenary and co-leader with Kimmuriel Oblodra of the renegade drow band, Bregan D'aerthe. Drow Sign[2] She and Triel's draegloth son, Jeggred, teamed up to uncover the mystery of Lolth's Silence.
[13] Authors like Richard Lee Byers and Philip Athans had already adventured into the world of Forgotten Realms with their writing[14][15] while for others like Lisa Smedman and Thomas M. Reid, War of the Spider Queen was their first real foray into Forgotten Realms writing. The blade, however, has been lost in the Cold Fields, and Halisstra travels to find it, Ryld following without permission.
Despite having much power, Gromph is angered by the fact that he has risen as far as he can, while he could have gained much more power had he been born a female. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat.

Sharp Memory
He has traveled much of the Underdark and is sent on the journey with Quenthel as a guide. Was considered second son during earlier novels due to unknown circumstances which was later revealed in the Sellswords trilogy. "[18][19] Byers previous work for Forgotten Realms was that of the Sembia Trilogy along with collaborators Athans and Smedman.
She has guided Menzoberranzan through tough times and continues to do so in the presence of looming catastrophe. Disturbingly, Gromph disappears at a time when the city needs him most. "[26] Smedman's first contribution to the Forgotten Realms universe was a short story in the Sembia Trilogy.
Halisstra, however, is punished for her unforgivable acts of disloyalty and sacrilege, and is ordered to serve as Lolth's Lady Penitent. With Lolth again affording spells to her followers, the Drow gain the upper hand in the battle, and the Scoured Legion of Kaanyr Vhok retreat, leaving the Duergar for dead. This causes others to underestimate him constantly, which he takes full advantage of. However, Triel is shrewd and calculating, and a powerful vessel for Lolth's Will, despite her often flippant attitude toward her goddess, her favor with the Spider Queen is the envy of the Drow. She also commands the Army of the Black Spider. Concerned that others may gather the courage to attempt another take over, Triel sends a group to discover the cause of Lolth's silence and bring an end to it, first by traveling to Ched Nasad. Matron Mother Triel Baenre forbids this, and has Faeryl captured and tortured by her Draegloth son, Jeggred Baenre. Halisstra on the other hand returns to her sisterhood, heartbroken at the loss of her love, and believing it was Quenthel who ordered the death of Ryld based on a story Danifae manufactured. The females attempt to keep this a secret, but soon they are found out, and males begin disappearing from the city for unknown reasons. Conviction: 6

It is one of Houses of the Underdark drow city of Menzoberranzan which first appeared in Homeland. She is short of stature, bad tempered, and a calculating ruler. [2] She may have also been a mistress of Sorcere. Note that the latest official write-up of Gromph, which can be found in Dragon magazine #302, puts him as a Diviner 18/Archmage 4- a 22nd level wizard specializing in the school of divination. Kinetic Faculty 2 It is only logical for the Council to keep close watch on the wizards, who are their only real challengers for power, as Archmage Gromph has many responsibilities in the City of Spiders, including lighting Narbondel, the huge "clock" of Menzoberranzan.
Running 2+2 Using a book given to her by her father, Liriel traveled to the surface lands where she met drow followers of Eilistraee, the Dark Maiden of benevolent drow.
