A drow Forgotten Realms Role Playing Source

[Talwyn Aureliano]

I came across this very useful tome of knowledge while delving through Candlekeep. it's not a Candlekeep source per se but compiled by one of the regular posters there, a lady named Zanan who is a keen Drow Rp'er. This is her work but I thought it should be shared here.

Here is here weblink to her page :

http://www.dnd-gate.de/gate3/page/index.php?id=420


and here is the relevent lore.




[b:kwb5zktl]Zanan's Guide to the Drow NPCs of the Forgotten Realms
Last Update: 12. 2006 [/b:kwb5zktl][/size:kwb5zktl]


This is a guide which shall provide players as well as DMs a background to their characters via the means of other Drow NPCs' names and where they appear within the Forgotten Realms.


Character classes listed after the names are still AD&D, unless an asterisks ( * ) marks them as D&D 3E or 3RE. This mark also says that the character does appear in recent publications and may still live. There is also a slight difference between the abbreviations of the classes, which also separates the editions, e.g. AD&D classes like fighter and thief yield F and T, whereas in D&D 3E it would be fighter and rogue, Ftr and Rog. See the end of the list for more details.

Any person listed here is a drow and fd (female drow) or md (male drow) denotes their gender. Any priest or cleric listed are considered to be followers of Lolth unless stated.



Other than in the full version, this list does not tell the reader all about the actual classes as well as the fate of most of the NPCs. Thus, the spoiler factor is relatively low with regards to updated sourcebooks and recent novels. People long dead (e.g. Menzoberra) are excluded from this rule for obvious reasons (essentially everyone before 1358 DR is listed). The NPC's classes are also listed if they appear in easily accessible sources such as the Dragon Magazine (e.g. Gromph Baenre) or the Wizards' website (e.g. Liriel Baenre).

Some NPC are not truly meant to appear in the Realms as such, e.g. characters of adventures like City of the Spider Queen, the Wild Magic adventure of the Menzoberranzan boxed set and NPCs mentioned in the Baldur's Gate PC game and novel series. Nonetheless, their names are in this list as well.

A full version can be obtained from the author for free, though there are a lot of spoilers for players and novel readers alike. The full version is up to date, including the Underdark sourcebook and novels such as Insurrection, Tangled Webs and Baldur's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal.




MENZOBERRANZAN - The City of Spiders

This place is the most detailed of all drow realms of the Underdark and thus a lot of NPCs have come and gone through the history of AD&D and D&D Menzoberranzan. This list will start off with the most current state of affairs in the City of Spiders of the most up to date sources. Afterwards, a collection of names will appear which date back to as early as the foundation of the city, but most names are valid for the year 1358 D.R., just before the Times of Troubles. For most of the names listed in this part there is no certain knowledge about the fate of their Houses, clans, or families. Where there are names of important characters and nothing has been said about their "disappearance", a FU (fate unknown) will appear behind their names.

Interesting. Nice to know people with passion.

[DoesItMatterWho]

Sendai's gender is wrong.

There are other inconsistencies, but frankly, with the amount of information there, I'm fine to be off just a wee little bit.

Everyone can use Copy + Paste, but not all should.
