Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue (originally planned as the Menzoberranzan Campaign Setting[3]) is a sourcebook and campaign setting released as part of the Rise of the Underdark event.

The profane beauty of Menzoberranzan reflects the true nature of the drow and Lolth, their vile spider queen. Within sculpted palaces, factions vie for dominion, spin webs of conspiracy, wage war on the surface realms, and spread poisonous rumors. Meanwhile, predators stalk the twisted streets, plotting murder and mayhem. The city has no pity for fools and weaklings. Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue breathes new life into the fabled home of Drizzt Do'Urden and leaves no stone unturned. This book explores the city, tells the stories behind important drow houses and factions, and peeks at the mysteries waiting to unfold in the deadliest city of the Forgotten Realms world. This product is compatible with all editions of the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game and features a poster map of the city.
