Zha'irith

Zha'irith: The Moonlit Refuge

Nestled in the shadowed canyons south of Kemet, Zha'irith is a settlement of drow and half-drow who have forsaken the cruel traditions of the deep and embraced the teachings of Eilistraee. Hidden between towering cliffs and winding underground rivers, the city thrives under the moon’s glow, its white-stone structures shimmering in the night.

Once a gathering place for exiles and wanderers, Zha'irith has grown into a sanctuary of artisans, scholars, and warriors who live in harmony with the land. The people of Zha'irith revere Eilistraee as their guiding light, celebrating her in nightly dances beneath the stars, their silver-lit prayers echoing through the canyon. They maintain a delicate peace with the surrounding nations, offering rare metals, fine textiles, and enchanted craftsmanship in trade.

Despite their isolation, the rulers of Zha'irith recognize the importance of alliances. Seeking stability and recognition, they forged a treaty with Kemet, offering Henut-Sobek Djeret-Ka as a royal wife, a gesture of goodwill meant to unite their two peoples. Though their numbers remain small, the people of Zha'irith stand as a testament to survival, hope, and the power of redemption beneath the watchful eyes of the goddess of the night.
