Talk:Vhaeraun

I find Vhaeraun's holy symbol and artwork of him may be incorrect. it is stated in the prologue of Storm of the Dead that Eilistraee has the mask covering the lower half of her face. is is stated elsewhere that vhaeraun's differs?

Also at the end of Storm of the Dead Eilistraee "Eilistraee turned her hand palm-up, lifted her mask, and blew the ash away. " (like 1 paragraph from the end of book).Doonval ti bekk&#39;har (talk) 01:47, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean, but the images are taken from the sourcebooks, Faiths and Pantheons and Player's Guide to Faerûn, so they are correct. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:40, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

About the Jaezred Chaullsin,

I intend to edit it as an Assassin's Guild instead of a house. The reason is while they are called a House they fall too far from the regular meaning of one. I tried to change it but it was edited back, here I write the reasons why I think it is better to call it a criminal organization and not a House in the sense of nobility.

A house would imply familial ties inside the group being the deciding factor to be part of it, while the group itself does descend from the ruling House of Chaulssin according to the WE City of Wyrmshadow, it is in fact led by a ruling council of eight patriarchs who head different families (hence different last names), moreover entering this group is done by being useful in toppling Lolth's rule and not necessarily blood ties (the 7 declared as not being of a race listed by this point in the racial composition of the guild, they could be normal drow but this would pose the question why not declaring them as such, thus implying that these sevens' background is rather diverse).

Although "house" would mean being a governmental body, while they are "ruling" what's left of Chaulssin, they are not governing it. For example, nothing implies an interest in building infrastructure or expanding the city, having foreign policy or the like.

Moreover the monetary gain is done in way akin to mafia esque organizations. Individuals take criminal jobs and pay a percentage of it to the upper echelons, instead of taxes collected in regular intervals like a government.

And most importantly, the Jaezred Chaullsin are explicitly described as and called an Assassins' Guild in the Web Enhancement.

So my suggestion is "A patriarchally led Assassins' Guild that rules what is left of Chaulssin."

How about it?

Best Regards
