Faer Xuruth

Current State of Affairs

  The imminent threat of the minflayers under the rule of Dyrrn, The Corrupting has taken a tol on the citizens of the once vibrant magical town of Faer Xuruth.   - The beautiful colorful merchant stalls that were scatter through-out the city and were filled with magical goods of all sorts have vanished completely.   - Instead, the streets lay empty and cold and only very few non-military folk are walking in brisk pace with scared looks through the streets waving documents to every military person they see.   - The military presence on the other hand is all encompassing and there are very few streets that are not patrolled by at least two groups of guards at all times.   - One of the few sounds in the are is the repeated voice of a firm man reminding the citizens to stay in their homes and not under any circumstances leave unless they have permission by the military. Anyone, found outside without valid permission papers would be considered an enemy of the state and be killed on sight.   All these precautions were taken to prevent a possible mindflayer infiltration while the military is doing all they can to search the tunnels for the possible location of the main colony of mindflayers. however so far they have only found smaller outpost but even those have presented a brutal challenge of increasingly grotesque foes.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Faer Xuruth is the Capital City of the Drow colony known as the Detholusin Stath (Chosen Few). They abandoned the old beliefs and worship of Lolth and are now a folk of people focusing their religion around the Moondancer. Their town still contains a lot of remnants and structures of the old regime but most of it got repurposed and changed over time. However, religion is only a small portion of this society anyway. Faer Xuruth is a society based on magic. Their individual houses each focus on one type of magic and magical artifact, with the ruling house, House Thandris  focusing on the study of True names.
