[QUOTE="BLACKDIRGE, post: 578602, member: 1953"] Prologue: Beneath the surface of Oerth, shrouded in the eternal darkness of fathomless depth, lies the drow city of Erelhei-Cinlu. Sprawling in degenerated majesty the city occupies a large portion of a massive, subterranean cavern known as the Vault of the Drow. Within this teeming metropolis, all manner of villainous beings live alongside the drow masters of the city, practicing their personal version of evil with almost complete freedom. The drow tolerate other races as long as they do not challenge the absolute authority of the spider queen and her priestesses, who hold the city in an iron grip of fear and domination. The city is ruled by eight noble houses that live in massive walled compounds on a huge shelf of rock projecting over the city below. These noble houses constantly vie for domination through assassinations and even outright war; this of course pleases their chaotic goddess who demands the winnowing out of the weak through perpetual strife. These rivalries between houses have encouraged the growth and development of a thriving assassin’s guild whose efficiency and reputation rival that of any guild on the surface. Jen Kedar Everhate, a wayward noble son of one of the eight ruling houses, controls the guild and is a powerful assassin himself. The guild has had a long and bloody history and Jen Kedar has grown wealthy and powerful providing a valuable and much sought after service to the ruling nobility of Erelhei-Cinlu. The guild employs all manner of creatures, from traditional drow knife skulkers to stranger beings such as mindflayers and kuo-toa. Jen Kedar has a wide variety of agents to draw upon and makes sure that the perfect assassin for the job handles each assignment. The drow guildmaster actively recruits potential guild members from all over the city, and it was one of his more unique choices that eventually led to his downfall. What follows is the story of the bloody rise to power of Grummok, a ruthless gargoyle rogue and assassin whose ambition is only matched by his malice. We will witness his humble beginnings as a petty thief, to his acceptance into the assassin’s guild, and finally the bloody coup that places him firmly in the command of the assassin’s guild of Erelhei-Cinlu.
