Rilauven

Rilauven was a drow city in the Underdark.

Geography
The city was located under an area near the surface city of Neverwinter.

History
Rilauven's Lolthite priesthood was overthrown by the worshipers of Vhaeraun in a relatively bloodless coup. The city was ruled by a council of the representatives of the Sorcere, Melee-Magthere, and Arach-Tinilith academies. All aspects of culture, be they wizard, fighter, or cleric, were treated the same, although the city's Archmage, Malavon Despana, who organized the coup, seemed to hold the most power and Vhaeraun was venerated above Lolth.
