Kryn Dynasty
*The Kryn Dynasty is taken directly from Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount by Matthew Mercer with some exceptions/edits to make it fit into Chronala.
The Kryn Dynasty rules the northeastern area of The Fey Lands . Centered around — and under — the ruins of Ghor Dranas the dynasty governs many townships and small villages
Dark elves are the most populous race within the Kryn Dynasty. The Drow were the first people to uncover the first buried beacon of The Luxon many ages ago, in a time before they turned from Lolth and escaped enslavement from the Betrayer Gods. The dark elves claimed the dread citadel of Ghor Dranas as their own, as well as the massive network of underground caverns that make up the Underdark of Chronala.
The Kryn Drow who emerged from the shadowed depths of the caverns now endure periods of sunlight as part of their worship, though their cities are shaded by umbral magic during daylight hours. When hunting, or in times of conflict, the warriors of the Kryn don their signature chitinous armor. A series of small airways woven through this armor can be opened to emit a loud, clicking buzz to intimidate their foes as they charge. This noise has inspired outsiders to call the Kryn “cricks,” referring to this cricket-like din.
In the world of Chronala, the Kryn Dynasty is also the sole place one can study the Arcane Art of Dunamancy. While not necessarily exclusive to the Drow , it is rarely taught to those who not at least of Elf ancestry.
