Message: <blockquote data-quote="MonsterEnvy" data-source="post: 6673094" data-attributes="member: 6706188">There is a good deal of story behind this. The Drow is Tos'un Del'Armgo. One of the Rogue Drow who helped the original Obould get his war started in the Hunter's Blade trilogy. Before they realized that Obould was more then they could handle, (A point that came across Tos'un hard when Obould tore out his priestess consort's throat with his teeth.) Tos'un found Khazid'hea (AKA Cutter) the Sentient Sword while escaping from Obould. Cutter had previously belonged to the Weapon Master of the Drow House Baenre. Who was defeated by Drizzt, who took the Sword and gave it to Catti-Brie. During the battle with Obould's orcs Wulgar's wife at the time stole the Sword while Catti was sleeping having been dominated by it. The Sword made her attack a group of Orc's on her own were she died, and ended up in the Hands of a Random Orc. The Sword detected Drizzt after having retreated from a losing battle with Obould and attacked him with the Orc. Drizzt recovered the Sword and knowing it's cutting power figured it would give him the Upper Hand in a Rematch with Obould. Despite the Sword Drizzt was not able to beat Obould. (Even though Obould also had to take remove all of his armor because the Drow priestess he later killed cursed it.) Obould disarmed Drizzt at a point and took the Sword from him. Disliking the attitude of the Sword once he got his hand on it. Obould through it off a Cliff. The Tos'un stumbled upon on it. In the Book the Orc King. Tos'un now out of allies sort of just ran around avoiding everyone. Eventually meeting the Moon Elf leader and falling in love with her. He eventually started allying with the Good guys and in the end helped end the War with Obould. Eventually Marrying and settling down with the Moon Elf Leader having two kids. Then the events of Cutter happen 100 years later. Here is what actually happened in the Story. His daughter Doum'wielle is curious about the Evil Sword and it eventually dominates her and convinces her to murder her brother. Upon which she decides to run. Her Mother and Father go after her but she runs into Many Arrows territory. Were they encounter a Orc patrol led by the current Obould's Eldest Son. Tos'un wanting to catch up with his daughter and not wanting to die, hobbles his wife so she would be caught by the Orc's but he would escape. After catching his daughter he relizes they can't go back to the Moon Elves so they decide to join up with the Drow as Tos'un is a member of the 2nd highest Ranking House in Menzobaranzan. (Despite what the End of the Book may say the Companions Codex series makes it clear it was not easy to get in the good graces of the Drow.) This interestingly Event was also the cause for the 2nd war with the Orcs Many Arrows. Tos'un wife fought the Orc's and killed a few before being captured. The Leader of the Orc Band was Lorgu son of Obould XVII. Lorgu in order to show off his leadership skills decided not to have the hated leader of the Moon elves that have harassed them for a century killed and instead returned her to her people as a show of good faith. This pissed off a bunch of the more militant Orcs who's Leader Hartusk who was eventually aided by the Drow in a coup to take over Many Arrows and start a huge war. (Which ended with Hartusk's death and Lorgu taking the Throne of Many Arrows back from the Usurper.) Tos'un mean While as of the Latest book is literally on Ice. He was riding a White Dragon that got knocked out of the Sky and broke his spine in the fall. Then the White Dragon starting fighting with a Monk. Tos'un not being able to move grabbed the Monks legs to keep him still so the Dragon could bite him. Then he died with some surprise as the Dragon used it's cold breath instead of a bite and the Monk used Evasion to avoid the Cold Breath. His daughter has no Idea what to do as her father was the only one that could protect a half Drow like her from the others. She is currently allied with Tiago a Drow that is trying to show himself to be better then Drizzt.</blockquote>
