Byrtyn Fey

Byrtyn Fey was the matron mother of House Fey-Branche in Menzoberranzan.

Description
Byrtyn had a well-rounded, sensual figure. She was well aware of this and wore revealing robes and shawls in order to emphasize her sensual appeal.

Personality
Byrtyn was known for being hedonistic. She seduced males and had many public "passionate affairs" and "ribald exploits."

She was also a great repository of information about the other houses in the city; in fact, this knowledge helped deter other houses from attacking her house and revealing their secrets.

History
Byrtyn was matron mother in 1367 DR, when it was the eighth house of Menzoberranzan. Her house was long the sixth house until it became the fifth house in 1484 DR when House Xorlarrin departed Menzoberranzan for Q'Xorlarrin. Byrtyn was still matron mother at this time and sat on the Council of Eight.

At time of Rage of Demons she was considered the most skilled in forging alliances.

Possessions
Byrtyn possessed a six-headed whip of fangs, but preferred to use her violet tentacle rod as a weapon. She carried a spider wand and brewed potent potions of magic resistance.

Relationships
Byrtyn did not keep patrons regularly. However, in 1484 DR, Byrtyn's patron was Calagher Fey-Branche. She had a number of daughters.
