House Xorlarrin

House Xorlarrin was the fourth drow house of Menzoberranzan.

Organization
The house was famous for its wizards, even giving the males status near to the females. Matron Mother Zeerith would even listen to the men, as she relied more on advisors than other matriarchs. The wizards had more arcane power than any other house, and those who had no skill would not survive childhood. Such talentless males were used as sacrifices.

Equipment
The cautious nobles would dress in loose clothing and masks so that not even their gender, much less their individual identities, could be seen.

History
House Xorlarrin's magic divined information from a private conversation between the brothers Jarlaxle and Gromph Baenre when the former was investigating the Dawn Titan imprisoned in Gauntlgrym, and Zeerith sent scouts to the ruins. The Bregan D'aerthe leader hoped to keep the city and primordial from other drow.

By the late 15th century DR, Xorlarrin had reached the position of third House of Menzoberranzan. House Xorlarrin was a strong supporter of Lolth's plan to create a Demon Weave. Many lesser wizards joined the Council of Spiders. The house itself was inclined to support the Council's cause, even at the cost of civil war.
