The Drow society in Menzoberranzan is formally governed by the Ruling 8, or the 8 most powerful noble houses in Drow High Society. Invitation to the ruling 8 is the purview of the highest house, currently House Baenre, and the highest house is determined by a ruling vote.

  1. House Baenre
  2. ???
  3. House Agrach Dyrr
  4. ???
  5. House Duskryn
  6. House Melarn

Ruling Houses

House Baenre

The apparant ruling house in Menzoberranzan. House Baenre is first among the 'Ruling 8" houses in the Drow city. Like most Drow Houses, House Baenre is titularly led by a Headmistress Yvonnel, but in fact the real power is Gromph Baenre, a male Drow magic User whose power might be the only to rivalk that of Lord Dyrr.

Known Members

House Agrach Dyrr

House Dyrr's loyalties are unknown. Actions of their only known member, Lord Dyrr suggest that they COULD be allied to NEITHER House Melarn nor House Yauntyrr.

Known Members:

House Duskryn

House Melarn

Led by Mistress Halisstra Melarn, this house seems to be preeminent among Drow Houses. In addition to it's drow members, House Melarn also claims the loyalty of the Draegloth in the Underdark.

Other Houses

House Yauntyrr

Led by Headmistress Danifae Yauntyrr, House Yauntyrr seems to be at the center of the plot to release the Chaos Curse of Solace. thogh we have encountered her minions in the form of the Black Ice Gang intelligence suggests that Danifae herself has yet to leave the Underdark and indeed would be among the last to do so, should her plot succeed. Other evidence suggests that House Yauntyrr was once allied to House Melarn though now they are at odds. We have no independent verification of this intelligence, however.
