Rilauven was a relatively small and young drow city in the Underdark in the 14th century DR.[1][2]

Geography[]

The city was located under an area near the surface city of Neverwinter,[2] likely in the Northdark.[speculation] It was close to the illithid compound of Z'hinda Citadel, which once belonged to the drow.[2]

Society[]

Rilauven's Lolthite priesthood was overthrown by the worshipers of Vhaeraun in a relatively bloodless coup. The city was thereafter ruled by a council of the representatives of its Sorcere, Belaessar, Melee-Quartha, and Ultrinnan Qu'ellar, respectively, the academies of wizards, merchants, warriors, and old noble Houses.[2] These houses included:

All drow members of its society, be they wizard, fighter, or cleric, were apparently treated the same, although the city's Archmage, Malavon Despana, who organized the coup, seemed to hold the most power and Vhaeraun was venerated above Lolth.[2]

Rumors & Legends[]

It was rumored that the Legion of the Chimera would attack Rilauven, and the Melee-Quartha were busy preparing battle defenses.[2]

Apparently, the priests of Vhaeraun railed against civic battles. The Sorcere hoped that Menzoberranzan never decided to wipe them out.[2]
