House Zauvirr was a minor drow house in Ched Nasad.[1]
Description
House Zauvirr was a minor merchant house of Ched Nasad.[2][3] It operated the storehouses of the Black Claw Mercantile Company, which was owned by House Melarn and the Menzoberranyr House Baenre.[4]
History
In 1372 DR, House Zauvirr attempted to defeat House Melarn. Matron Mother Ssipriina Zauvirr hired the duergar mercenary band Clan Xornbane to assist. She took over the Black Claw storehouses, killing Matron Mother Drisinil Melarn.[5] Ssipriina's daughter, Faeryl Zauvirr, also betrayed Quenthel Baenre and her protector Jeggred by leading the two to her mother to be captured.[6]
However, Clan Xornbane was given the direction to attack House Melarn prematurely. Their stonefire bombs contributed to chaos in the city. Angry at the disruption to her plans, Ssiipriina turned on them, killing the leader of the clan, Khorrl Xornbane, and causing the rest of the band to flee.[7][8] However, the duergar's stonefire (as part of a Jaezred Chaulssin plot directed by Zammzt) rapidly destroyed the city.[citation needed]
