Jaezred Chaulssin

The Jaezred Chaulssin is a secret, patriarchal organization consisting of skilled assassins. Their goal is to rid the drow of the tyrannical rule of Lolth and her priestesses. They are "based" in the ruined drow city of Chaulssin, from which they got their name. They began as House Jaelre, a former house of Menzoberranzan, which was driven away for heresy. In 792 DR The Church of Vhaeraun reveals that the ranks of the Chaulssinyr leadership have been heavily infiltrated by malaugrym. The Masked Lord’s followers assume power and found "House Jaezred", an elite brotherhood of assassins trained to ferret out and kill shapeshifting interlopers. In truth, they only visit Chaulssin to hold highly secret meetings. They are actually spread throughout the Underdark in each major drow city.

The Jaezred Chaulssin are not particularly numerous, but their power belies this fact. They are, in fact, half drow and half shadow dragon. This gives them an innate resistance to magic, the ability to "breathe" poisonous fumes, and small wings enabling them to fly.

The Jaezred Chaulssin's desire to establish a patriarchal society in drow cities in the place of the current matriarchal society is shared by Vhaeraun and his followers. The extent of their links, however, is unclear.

Recent Activities
During the time when Lolth appeared to have deserted the drow, the Jaezred Chaulssin (under the leadership of the then Anointed blade, Nimor Imphraezl) chose to strike and implement their plans. Their duergar allies destroyed the drow city of Ched Nasad, making use of stonefire bombs to incinerate the calcified webbing on which the city was suspended, causing the entire city to fall to the bottom of the V-shaped cavern.

The Jaezred Chaulssin moved on from this success and allied themselves with many powerful forces with a view to capturing the city of Menzoberranzan itself.

Their allies included: The duergar leader Crown Prince Horgar of Gracklstugh, The cambion leader of the Scoured Legion, Kaanyr Vhok, House Agrach Dyrr of Menzoberranzan, and the enormously powerful lichdrow known only as "the lichdrow", de facto leader of House Agrach Dyrr. These powerful forces won a great victory at the Pillars of Woe over the houses of Menzoberranzan, and proceeded to beseige the city itself. However, as these forces stood on the brink of victory, Lolth returned, putting the defenders in a position of power. The wily commander of the Scoured Legion, Kaanyr Vhok, retreated at once, allowing the duergar army to bear the brunt of Menzoberranzan's counterattack. House Agrach Dyrr was blown up due to the Lichdrow's master ward, and the Jaezred Chaulssin retreated, unsuccesful.

As of 1375 DR, Ched Nasad, the Jaezred Chaulssin's greatest success, is being reshaped in the image of a patriarchal drow city.
