| - | My parents had fled the under-dark after our house was attacked by several members of the Ghaunadauri. I wasn't eithen born yet and there was war in my homeland. i of course didn't learn that knowledge until about 40 seasons after my birth. They (my parents) had escaped Loch Nether, but at no little cost. my father, knew that drow were looked down upon on the surface. dana, and humans viewed us as monsters or demons. Evil creatures because we were from a different place, or culture. so they had hid, out in a forest near the town of Camelot. they were secluded and "safe" for the time being. my father was the head guard of the town, he fought heroically to protect his home land agenst evil things of all sorts. and he was run out of his home. like a dog. eventually a knight in training stumbled upon my fathers cabin. my mother was out by the river gathering water, a 30 minute or so walk. he saw my father chopping wood out side, the knight drew his bow and shot a arrow at him, hitting my father in the back. maybe this is why i have no respect for the knights. not that he had killed my father, but he had not done it fairly. my father was no weak drow, the arrow had barely hurt him. the knight instantly ran up and thrust his blade through my fathers heart. instantly killing him, at least he had that much dignity. the young knight, cut my fathers head off, bringing it back to show all of his companions in the city. it was about a 3 hour ride to Camelot. my mother had returned, seeing the headless corpse of her husband. she immediately fled for her life, and mine. | + | My father was a head guardsman for the underdark, and mother was the head of House Vn'Lalleth.

My father was the Head of the Guard Household, and spent many a year training my elder brothers and cousins and defending Yathryn from the monsters that lurked in the tunnels, and the so-called 'heroes' that sometimes venture into our homeland. He was loyal, to his house and to Ygelleth and that was his undoing. In the quick and swift rebellion that saw Ygelleth thrown down and Ghaundaur raised in her place House Vn'Lalleth was destroyed and what was left of my family ran out of town. Of course I didn't learn this knowledge until more than forty seasons after my birth and many more since the actual events. My father took the lead in the journey of their exile towards the 'surface'. A perilous journey but one he felt was safer than remaining in the Dark Lands below.

However some tired and finding the dark woods of Avalon a group of them settled there. My mother ruling over the new 'House', a cabin built by the hands of my own father.

My father was a head guardsman for the underdark, and mother was the head of House Vn'Lalleth. I know little of real facts about our House, rarely taking the time to speak to the people of Yathryn when my travels take me there. My father was the Head of the Guard Household, and spent many a year training my elder brothers and cousins and defending Yathryn from the monsters that lurked in the tunnels, and the so-called 'heroes' that sometimes venture into our homeland. He was loyal, to his house and to Ygelleth and that was his undoing. In the quick and swift rebellion that saw Ygelleth thrown down and Ghaundaur raised in her place House Vn'Lalleth was destroyed and what was left of my family ran out of town.

My father knew nothing of the surface, but he did not want to scare the group by letting them know such things.
