Tier Breche

Tier Breche is a training academy in Menzoberranzan for drow nobles. It consists of three separate schools: Sorcere, the college of arcane magic; Arach-Tinilith, the college for priestesses of Lolth; and Melee-Megthere, the college for warriors. Students study at the academy usually for around fifty years - a short period of time in the context of a drow's lifespan. The head of Tier-Breche is the Matron Mistress of Arach-Tinilith, who is invariably a High Priestess of Lolth. Currently, the position is filled by Quenthel Baenre. Sorcere also has an authority figure in the form of Gromph Baenre, the archmage of Menzoberranzan. He is probably the most powerful male in the city.
