Valsharess

Valsharess is the Drow word for 'Queen'. It is a title reserved for Lolth herself and the most powerful of Matron Mothers. An example would be Yvonnel Baenre who easily held the entire city of Menzoberranzan under her sway.

The Valsharess was a minor Matron Mother in Menzoberranzan. During the Silence of Lolth she managed to summon the lord of Cania, the archdevil Mephistopheles and bind him to her will. With his help she rose quickly in power and soon took over every Drow city in the Underdark save one, Lith My'athar. She forged an alliance with the Elder Brain of Zorvak'Mur, a Beholder city and a cult of vampires. Eventually Mephistopheles betrayed her and she was killed by Drogan's Student.
