I like your plans, Isida. My personal favorite plan for the past year is reforming House Millithor (possibly by dominating, in the non-vampiric sense, a much lesser House, preferably one with whom we'd been fighting prior to the Silence) in Menzo. I think the characters would have an attachment to Menzo, and it would be better for them to go there. Also, starting the House over again in Menzo means we'll have a stable (as stable as can be, anyway) power base somewhere, something hopefully fairly secure. I doubt Tierak would be content to submit to Narcelia or Carcelon's superiority, and Narcelia wouldn't trust Tierak as a fully equal member of the House, so perhaps the Morcane House could form on its own as well, and become an ally?
As for my synopsis, I don't have much:
Narcelia Millithor, Drow Cleric of Lolth 18 (chaotic evil)
Narcelia did very little in my hands, mainly following the others and trying not to look bad. She was not as favored as Carcelon prior to the Silence (evidenced by her two Scourge heads compared to Carcelon's three). She was washed away by Kripp at one point, and presumably captured and held hostage by Illithids, though that has never been proven. Her incarceration was revealed through dreams only. It is unknown how she escaped: she appeared nude at the feet of Kripp and Kilcif as they waited for Carcelon to return from her rendezvous with That Which Swims in Darkness. Her relationship with the other PC's is neutral, though the past year could have caused stronger or weaker bonds to each respectively. She relied on her family (the other Millithors) much more than usual during the Silence, and that relationship has continued, though now the Silence is over, she spends much of her time consolidating her personal power. She was not ready to be Matron at the end of Endur's campaign, but is strong enough to do the job and be fine at the end of this year.
She spent the interim year subduing any opposition to House Millithor (including the other PC's, if applicable) and building back the House's power in Menzoberranzan. She plans on consolidating, continuing the war against rival Houses, and making sure Carcelon (who she knows is much more ambitious than she is herself) does not plan on becoming Matron Millithor too soon. If she was successful in any campaigns against drow Houses, the surviving members (no clerics) would be enslaved for her household. (She would make sure the enslavement looked legal, for example, by planting "proof" of the House's plotting against Baenre or another of the first Houses.) She would also have as many other slaves as necessary to run her Household. She is kinder to the lesser races than most drow, but in her grasping of power to restore the House, probably those tendancies would be muted.
Let me know if you want more detail. I think the Illithid/imprisonment is a powerful hook, so if you use it, you should thank Endur.
