Great Houses of Netehdrez
The Great houses of drow are the most powerful and prestigious families in Mori'tarna. These families hold either one or several seats in the Small Councils (Military, Arcane, Commerce and Clerical) in city of Netehdrez, and have long traditions and fine pedigrees of an old family.
Typical to many other drow societies, the Great Houses are very concerned about their fine bloodlines, focusing on selective breeding to get most exceptional of offsprings, and most profitable of alliances. Thus those from lines worthy of being called Great Houses often pop from the crowd with their elegant features and most exquisite signs of wealth and power. Clad in finest spider silks and wearing well-crafted jewelry, these are the cream of the crop, boldest, strongest and beautiful drow in Mori'tarna.
City of Netehdrez stands between rest of the world and Mori'tarna, and is home to the House Shadowblade. Lead by Mother of Shadows, protector of The Children of Eilistraee, great houses of Netehdrez tend to have strong focus on protection, military might and competition.
A lot more fierce than their cousins in Zaetron Derraz, prideful matrons are not that concerned about the smaller size of their city, but on making sure that the drow of Mori'tarna get the respect they deserve in business, battle and with religion.
Structure
Most higher up in the hierarchy there are Shadowblade family, with Mother of Shadows as their leader. After Moondancers come, the most prestigious families in the region, that are also part of the smaller councils of Netehdrez.
The standing of each house is tied to multiple factors, the biggest of them being their influence in the area. Since different houses influence different fields, it is hard to compare them to one another in a completely satisfying manner to pinpoint the exact pecking order.
