Telantiwar

Telantiwar was an ancient drow city.

History
When the drow first descended into the Underdark, they invaded and conquered the Dwarven city of Bhaerynden and renamed it Telantiwar. The Drow bore two generations within the city, being host to Four Matriarchal noble houses. The main export of Telantiwar was copper and laves. The cavern housing the city later collapsed in on itself during the uprising of House Alean'viir. Civil war erupted between the House of Alean'viir and the three other noble houses within the city. The cave in buried and crushed the city, forming the Great Rift.
