House Yunvra
House Yunvra is the first drow house of Kashommzar.
Structure
As with all noble drow houses, House Yunvra is a matriarchy, with the Matron Mother at the head of the house, representing them in all matters political or otherwise.
History
The story of House Yunvra's ascension to the premier rank in the city is unknown to any living drow; the only person who might have known the true history of the house was Talada Yunvra, the former Matron Mother who took power in 657 T.H. Even with the death of Talada Yunvra during the attack on the Yunvra homestead in 118 T.I., the first house's power could not be usurped; Baltara Yunvra, the first and most powerful daughter of Talada, took her mother's place as supreme ruler.
Soon after the death of Talada, House Yunvra was at its weakest. During the duergar revolt of 326 T.I., Baltara struggled to secure her hold over both her house and the city. She sought allies among the other houses, particularly House Dilath, and cultivated a close ally relationship with House Jusztorzza.
During the siege of Kashommzar in 392 T.I., there were seven sorcerers in House Yunvra. The family's chief sorcerer, Jivnar Yunvra, was killed by a wild magic surge towards the end of the conflict.
Baltara was not able to hold on to power forever. In 32 A.H. her younger sister, Zelina, became Matron Mother.
