Irith Tal

❌

Irith Tal was a drow city in the Feydark.

History
The Rose King, an archfey from the Feywild who claimed to be the son of Corellon, welcomed Zarra, a dark elf priestess from Irith Tal, into his own city, when she appeared seeking asylum from her people. However, after seducing the archfey and giving birth to her daughter, Liria Valthorin, Zarra planned to return to Irith Tal, with the intention of using her daughter's powers to control her city. However, it would her ten years before she could take advantage of the Rose King's absence to escape.

The Rose King and his armies entered the Feydark and with difficulty reached Irith Tal, making it to the heart of the drow city as they looked for the stolen child. However, the local houses had put aside their usual rivalries to confront the surface enemies, and defeated the archfey's forces, finishing off the Rose King himself thanks to the collaboration of a coven of drow matriarchs. In retaliation for that attack, the dark elves of Irith Tal destroyed their enemies' city.

Although Liria ended up fleeing Irith Tal using her powers, Zarra nevertheless became a powerful drow matron, and never abandoned her aspirations to use her daughter's archfey blood as a weapon, sending scouts looking for her. The Rose King's child, however, inherited his devotion for Corellon and his hatred of the drow, sending her own acolytes and students to fight the forces of the dark elves, and even negotiating temporary alliances with fomorian lords against Irith Tal.
