House Mizzrym was the fifth drow house of Menzoberranzan in 1372 DR.[7]
Headquarters[]
House Mizzrym was located on the plateau of Qu'ellarz'orl.[1] It was guarded by foulwings, which some members of the house, including Pharaun Mizzrym, could ride.[8]
Activities[]
Mages of House Mizzrym were well known for their skill at illusions.[9]
History[]
Founded relatively recently compared to other drow noble houses in −643 DR,[4] House Mizzrym's rise to power over the centuries was founded on trade, including with non-drow races.[2] By 1357 DR, the House had cultivated clandestine trade deals with deep gnomes and garnered a great deal of wealth.[10] This allowed it to rise to the position of seventh house of Menzoberranzan.[4]
In 1359 DR, House Mizzrym moved up to sixth house when House Oblodra was destroyed during the Time of Troubles by House Baenre.[11]
During the Silence of Lolth (1372 DR–1373 DR), House Mizzrym climbed the ranks once again to fifth house thanks to the treachery and fall of House Agrach Dyrr.[11]
In 1484 DR, House Mizzrym ascended to the fourth house after the departure of House Xorlarrin for Q'Xorlarrin, replacing House Faen Tlabbar.[12]
