Role

Chapter 2

In the city of Teth Azaleth the game of politics and intrigue was as much a
part of every day life, and often times death, as deciding on what one would
wear for the day. Houses aligned and realigned their allegiances, jockeyed
for favor from the ruling House, betrayed, undermined and oft times murdered.
As a result the city and the Underdark are rife with secret tunnels and
passageways, both for egress from a dangerous situation and ingress for
malicious activity. It was through one of these, long forgotten passageways
that Undaraxyl's life forever changed.

The House Mal'Akith Verth was neither lofty nor downtrodden, but had played
their politics well over the years, some with more success than others. The
current Matron had some influence in the city and the house had enough wealth
and resources to live comfortably. However, the ladder of Drow society has
many rungs and there was always someone looking to either climb up, or
looking down to see who may wish to replace them. This was the reason for the
attack in the night.
