History
In 1372 DR, Pharaun Mizzrym and Ryld Argith discovered the Skortchclaw symbol carved into a wall in the Braeryn district of the drow city of Menzoberranzan. That indicated isolated members of the Skortchclaw tribe in Menzoberranzan were involved in an uprising led by the alhoon Syrzan against the priestesses of the city.
