Menzoberra was a drow high priestess of Lolth, who founded the city of Menzoberranzan.[3]
History
Edit
In -3917 DR[5], at the behest of the Spider Queen, who gave her the title Yor'thae (Chosen one)[citation needed], Menzoberra the Kinless led seven drow families from from their southern holdings of Great Bhaerynden into the Northdark.[2] After several years in the dark deeps of the Underdark, the refugees came to a giant cavern inhabited by a swarm of spiders and the legendary beholder, Many Eyes.[6] After a long battle with many losses for the drow, Menzoberra laid the final blow on the beholder.[7] When the battle was over, a yochlol appeared in front of the surviving drow proclaiming the cavern was to be their new home: "Menzoberranzan" in recognition of Menzoberra's service to Lolth.[7]
