A key part of the storyline appeared to be the appearance of demons in Menzoberranzan and elsewhere in the Underdark, which were summoned in 1485 DR and 1486 DR by Matron Mother Quenthel Baenre in order to secure her reign over the city. The presence of the demons was according to the plans of Lolth, who arranged for Gromph Baenre to inadvertently summon Demogorgon to the Prime Material Plane.
