Other notes :

The priests of Vendargolth work in a complete mystery. They search to help the priests of Vhaeraun in their

tentatives to conqueer the World Above. They are the perfect spies : they are discreet and they can’t « sold »

thei companions because they have the tongue teared at the end of their studies in priesthood. This is a subtle

eligion, and Vendargolth want to propagate the beauty and his followers are people of taste, but they are not

extravagant.

Goals, ethical :

The clergy of Vendargolth want to see the drows control the World (the Underdark ans the surface). It’s the

reason why they are allies with the Cult of Vhaeraun. They want to unify the drows, in the violence or the

discretion. They are very treacherous.

Rituals :

During their formation, the future priests must make a vow of silence. If there is a failure of their vow, they

are gived in sacrifice to Vendargolth. They must stay in complete silence during ten years (the duration of their

vow). They are always tempted by non-priests to broke their vow. As mentionned before, all priests have the

tongue teared at the end of their priesthood. The ceremonies must be made in quasi total darkness. A cruel

sacrifice must be made (generally humans and dwarves). The ceremonies must be imposing, but silent.

Clothes and equipement :

When in adventuring, they wear typical equipement. In ceremony, they wear with robes with a red scorpion in

a black circle on the center of the chest. Their equipement cost 25% more than the usual equipement, to show

the level of « rafinité » of the clergy.

'''Lloth or Lolth (intermediate goddess)'''

Lolth is the divine principle of thedrow race and society. Her priestesses mange their society and no other

divinity would not dare to hold head to Lloth.

In spite of her chaotic alignment, Lloth is very attentive to avoid the bursting of a conflict between

drows. Lolth wishes the struggle between drows, it reinforces them and improves them but, to avoid that she

reaches proportions out of control, if a noble house wants to eliminate another one, it must make it with only

one attack. Wars of usury are very badly views and a noble house coalition forms itself then to annihilate the

house that uses these tactics.

Lolth put two goal to her drows: reign on all depths and the white elf extermination to the surface as

In a chaotic society where all the pleasure is owned by women and where murder and intrigue are common, some

people are able to survive... some of these drows are bards. Drow bards are males who live in luxury because

they have some talents that can distract Matrons Mothers. A bard must be polyvalent ‘cause, one day, a

Matron Mother will decide that the bard is boring (and a boring bard, in the drow society is a dead drow). In the

drow society, bards are often used as spys against other noble houses or as assassins. It’s a short description of

the rôle of the bards in the drow society.

n Bards start with the following profiencies : massage and drow étiquette

noise, move silently, hide in shadows, pick poket. At 1st level, they have 30 to distribute in these talents and

25 points for each level after the 1st.

n A bard can influence the NPC’s reactions as described in the PHB.

'''Magical blades'''

'''Hellblades'''

It was rumored many a year ago that during the great wars when the Elves united to battle the Dark Elves

and to cause them to flee to the vast underground, Gulgaraith, a well experienced fighter/mage Dark Elf, forged

numerous swords of great power to help in those wars. This is how The Hellblades came to surface on the

mortal world of man. Nobody knows how many blades were actually forged and enchanted and how many still

exist after so many centuries. All that is know is that they are weapons of quite evil power.

Overall Effect

Each sword functions as a modified Sword of Sharpness, they are all +3 weapons and sever a random limb (not

neck/head though) on a natural roll of 18-19. They shed light on command of their natural color in a 30' radius.

These weapons are so powerful and evilly enchanted that if broken they will simply reform themselves and if

ever torn away from their owner they will simply slide closer to get within the presence of their owner, distance

not being a factor, though it may take some time to get to its owner if the distance is very great. However, their

most known power is the ability, on a natural 20, to suck the victim's soul form his body, thus killing the victim

outright, and feed upon it. The possessor of a Hellblade is also fed by the sword some of the soul's life essence

as well. This translates into the victim receiving one of the victim's powers, attributes, etc., as chosen by the

DM. The owner is continuously fed the soul and retains the added power as long as he holds onto the sword,

letting go of the sword 'breaks' the umbilical cord of the sword to the owner. The swords continuously feeds on

the soul until it strikes another victim with a natural 20 where the process starts all over again and the owner

loses the power of the old soul and gains another. If a Hellblade sucks an exceptionally powerful soul

(10+Level/HD) the possessor must immediately make a Wis-4 check or the sword will become 'frenzied' and

cause (actually force) the user to attack for 1d4 rounds the nearest living thing in hope of additional 'feeding'!

Those slain by a Hellblade are dead, and cannot be raised or resurrected short of a wish. Note that undead and

the like have no soul and on a natural roll of 20 only Sharpness Severing occurs. Each Hellblade also has an ego,

Intelligence, and a defensive power to help its owner. Hellblades cannot however talk, use Telepathy, and the

like. If a Hellblade ever comes within 50' of another each possessor of the blade must make a Wisdom check at -

5 or be forced to slay the other. This save is made per round until one of the other is slain, the swords are

separated from the radius, or the swords are some how separated by a different dimension or such (such as

putting it in a Portable Hole or Bag of Holding).

Known Hellblades

'''Souleater'''

A long sword that glows with a blackish radiance. It has the ability to Ghost Armor its possessor thrice per

'''Ring of the drow:'''

This item is made of eight strands of different unique

metals entwined to form a ring. The drow found it troublesome when their

magical items deteriorated upon leaving their underground homeland for long

periods of time; to combat this, they created this ring. The ring of the drow

is only made in the drow homelands by clerics of Lolth. Its purpose it to keep

drow-made items the wearer possesses from deteriorating. To do so, the ring

radiates an aura of magical energy that duplicates the radiations deep in the

drow homelands. This aura only affects the wearer and the wearer's

possessions. As a side effect of the ring's magical aura, a detect magic spell

reveals the wearer to radiate magic strongly. In addition, a detect evil shows

the wearer of one of these rings as evil, and a know alignment indicates that

the wearer is chaotic evil, regardless of the wearer's true alignment. If the

wearer uses a

psionic power of aura alteration to try to change the aura, the wearer must

save vs. spells or else change alignment to chaotic evil. If the wearer saves,

or if the wearer fails to save but is already chaotic evil, the psionic power

functions normally, and the ring's aura is temporarily changed.

To posses one of these rings is considered an honor among the drow,

because it signifies that the wearer has traveled far from the homeland, and

that he or she was aided by a cleric favored by Lolth. Drow will kill any

creature other thatn a drow who possesses one of these rings.

XP value: 1,000 to drow; Nil to others gp value: 5,000 to drow; 1,000

'''Demon staff''':

<nowiki>[SH] This is a black leather-like staff, very strong, and carved</nowiki>

with disgusting scenes and vile runes. It allows the wielder to cause fear in

whomever it touches--no saving throw, inflict 4-24 hit points of damage which

can only be healed by the passage on 1 full day of time per hit point upon any

creatures it touches. It may also be used to call forth a Type I demon and/or

turn the holder into a Type III demon for five rounds. Each of these functions

operates but once per day.

XP value: 8,000 gp value: 35,000

'''Staff of skills''':

<nowiki>[SO] This staff, usable by all classes, can animate skeletal</nowiki>

remains. Each such operation, triggered by the word "Arise!", drains 1 charge.

Animated skeletons are under the command of the wielder of the staff (cf.

animate dead spell). If the staff should change hands, control of the

skeletons goes with it. Skeletons need not be complete, but the skulls must be

present, and skeletons lacking parts of course have their actions and/or their

mobility impaired. Such animation is permanent, lasting until the magic is

dispelled or the skeletons destroyed.

Twenty-five percent of these staves have a secondary function: mending

broken bones of both living and dead creatures. This takes one charge, and in

a round will reattach a severed limb or digit, although it does not restore

lost hp due to the wounds (or can restore hp, DMO). Limbs or bones not

belonging to the recipient may be used; thus a heap of bones can serve as

"spare parts" for a guard of skeletons. Typically, these staves are of ebony

topped with an ivory skull, or constructed of a smooth-polished skull and a

thighbone of giant size.

XP value: 900 gp value: 15,000(25% 25,000)

'''Amulet of powerword-pain''':

All creatures within 20 feet of the user must save

vs. Rods when the word is intoned, or else suffer wracking pains for 2-8

rounds, causing them to fight at -4 to hit, and making their AC worse by 1

type. The power word can only be used once per day and and the amulet must be

held in the hand for the power word to work.

XP value: 5,000 gp value: 11,000

'''Poisons Used By The Drows'''

Name Belbol d'Elghinn

Type F, Injected

Hemotoxin Onset Immediate

Damage/Result Death if fail, none if save

Frequency of Active

Ingredient

Very Rare

Cost Per Dose 300 gp in Underdark, as much as 1,400 gp elsewhere

Description : This powerful poison, greatly prized by drow nobles for assasination, is also known as *Elash

Elghinn*, "Silent Death", after the venomous water serpent of the same name. The venom takes effect

immediatelty, causing damage to the victim's blood vessels and causing dramatic and extensive hemorrhaging.

Within minutes, the victim will gush blood from his mouth, eyes, nose and ears. He will have time to

develop bruises all over his body before he mercifully dies. Drow find death caused by this venom to be

particularly entertaining. However, there are certain individuals who seem to be immune to *Belbol d'Elghinn*,

and upon whom it has no effect at all. However, when it does work it causes a spectacular (if regrettably

short) show.

Name Golhyrr del'Ilharess

Type J, Ingested

Cumulative irritant Onset special

Damage/Result Death if fail, 20 if save

Frequency of Active Ingredient Rare

Cost Per Dose 400 gp in Underdark, as much as 1,800 gp elsewhere

Description : This poison is the flesh of the rare *krashyll* mushroom. Successful administering of this

poison to one's enemies is seen as quite a victory of *cuel'a'cul* (the drow ritual of slowly, over time,

destroying one's enemy while remaining blameless). It must be given in six stages, its poison slowly

building in the body, in doses no more than a two tendays apart. Since drow are a suspicious race, it is

easy to see why success with this poison is greatly admired, worthy of the twisted, centuries-long plots

of the Matron Mothers. It's name also suggests that it requires the power and subtlety of a Matron

Mother to use effectively. After administering the sixth dose, death will strike its victim in half an hour,

causing the throat to suddenly close up in massive anaphylactic shock. The victim dies of asphyxiation

within minutes unless an antidote or *neutralize poison* spell is used. Note that while choking to

death, a priestess cannot cast any spells!

Name Haszak

Type Injected

Special Onset Instant

Damage/Result As the 5th-level wizard spell feeblemind for 1d6

days, save as spell.

Frequency of Active Ingredient Very Rare

Cost Per Dose 1,500 gp in the Underdark, 3,000gp elsewhere

Description : This is not strictly speaking a poison, but a very potent creation. Using a certain nerve

cluster in the brain of an illithid, the potion is magical in nature. It's cost reflects both the rarity of its

active ingredient and its unusually long duration. It is an effective, if expensive, toxin to use against a

spellcaster, as it acts in almost all respects as the *feeblemind* spell. It does have an interesting variation,

though: rather than reduce the victim to a state of retardation, it causes hallucinations and paranoid

delusions for its entire duration, punctuated only by interludes of catatonia. This is a potion dearly loved

by the sadistic drow.

Name Jal wun Jivvin

Type P, Injected, Debilitative

Irritant Onset 1d3 hours

Damage/Result All ability scores reduced by half for 1d3 days, no

effect if save.

Frequency of Active Ingredient Uncommon

Cost Per Dose 25 gp in Underdark, as much as 60 gp elsewhere

Description : Compared to some of the other poisons used by drow, this is no more than a gentle

warning. It is not directly fatal, though the poisoned one might wish it were otherwise. It could

become lethal if the poisoner is able to strike while his victim is weakened. The poison is brewed from the venom pouch of the

<nowiki>*rakhyrr*, a blind species of underground toad. The victim is plagued by intense nausea, vomiting,</nowiki>

fever, chills and malaise. A *neutralize poison* spell will take care of it immediately, limiting its usefulness

against the priestesses of Menzoberranzan.

Name Khaless

Type D, Injected

Neurotoxin Onset 1-2 minutes

Damage/Result sleep as in wizard spell (fail), no effect (save)

Frequency of Active Ingredient Uncommon

Cost Per Dose 15 gp in Underdark, as much as 50 elsewhere

Description : This is the famous sleep-poison of the drow, used on their crossbow bolts to immobilize an

enemy so that he can be killed at leisure. The active ingredient comes from the spores of the *oloth'arr*

mushroom. While the mushroom itself is fairly common, harvesting the spores is not an effortless chore.

Still, it is common enough to be almost trademark. The poison attacks the central nervous system,

causing the victim to fall asleep as per the wizard spell for 20 rounds. Unlike the magical version, elves

are vulnerable to this effect, as it is biological and not magical.

Name Orbb'st Ssrin

Type I, Ingested

Septicemic Onset 2d6 minutes

Damage/Result 30 if fail, 15 if save

Frequency of Active Ingredient Uncommon to Rare

Cost Per Dose 150 in Underdark, as much as 500 elsewhere

Description : This poison is brewed from venoms of five different spiders. As all spiders are sacred to Lolth, the venoms must be

carefully harvested without killing the spiders. All of the spiders used are huge in size, allowing for more easy

harvest of the venom. The collected venoms are then dried to a powder and added to a strongly-flavored food

or drink, as it does have a slight sour taste. The poison causes chills, fever and prostration for several

hours, and, if not halted by a *neutralize poison* spell, does permanent damage to the body's immune

system. This makes the victim more susceptible to disease and poison in the future (-2 to all poison

saves and Constitution/Health checks vs. disease), a weakness that can only be counteracted later by use

of a *heal* spell.

Name Rathrae Dos

Type O, Injected

Neurotoxin Onset 2d12 minutes

Damage/Result Victim is completely paralyzed for 2d6 hours, no effect if

save

Frequency of Active Ingredient Uncommon

Cost Per Dose 25 gp in Underdark, up to 75 gp elsewhere

Description : This is a poison greatly favored by Matron Mothers for use in their torture chambers. Brewed

from the venom of the *ghostyk*, a strange insectoid creature that resembles a praying mantis, it attacks

the central nervous system, rendering its victim completely incapable of movement, though fully capable of

feeling pain. Why it should be so prized by the drow should be obvious. Note that this is a biological, not

magical or terror-induced effect: elves are fully susceptible.

Name Velkyn Ogglin

Type M, Contact

Neurotoxin Onset 1d4 minutes

Damage/Result 20 fail, 5 save

Frequency of Active Ingredient Rare

Cost Per Dose 175 gp in Underdark as much as 800 elsewhere

Description : This rare poison is taken from the toxin sacs of the uncommon *dakhree* fish that swims in certain

Underdark lakes. The brewer must remove the sacs with gloves on his hands if he wishes to avoid being

poisoned himself. The sacs are located all over the fish's six-inch body, and are tiny, requiring a steady hand

and delicacy to remove effectively, hence the rarity. The *dakhree* fish hunts by rubbing against its prey,

releasing the toxin onto its victim. On most fish, the effect is instantaneous, though humanoids take

longer. At the time of onset, the poison causes the victim to convulse as the potent substance attacks his

nervous system. The victim begins grand mal seizures and suffers spinal damage, his back arching and

twisting violently as his body jerks involuntarily. If the poison is not neutralized before it has run it's course,

the victim will require a *cure erious wounds* spell to recover from the nervous system damage: bed rest

alone is not sufficient to cure him of the debilitating aftereffects.

'''Nalfein’s horrible death (Necromancy, Alteration)'''

Range : 2mètres par 2 niveaux

Components : V

Duration : instantaneous

Casting time : 1

Aera of effect : speciale

Saving throw : none

This spell was created by Nalfein Despana to satisfy his sadistics instincs. When he casts, the caster’s voice

become low and threatening, his eyes become red and seems to glow... his body is surrounded by an aura of

darkness. All these elements create an aura of fear : all the creatures who have 10 HD or less must leave the aera

(20m minimum) for 1d10 rounds. Only the principal targe will die. NOTE : the following prossecus takes 3

rounds to occur (during these 3 rounds, the victim can’t do anything else than shout and cry) and thanks to the

Death Metal band Carcass for this description :) - I hope that you’ll not be offended of this...

Eyes explodes and blood gush out of the hears and the nose. The skin rots quickly and a grey pus covers the

victim’s skin...

Oral eruption...

Rectal extroversion...

Your vagus implodes, as nausea strikes

Savaging your body in a terminal retch

Violent spasms and decaying enzymes

Engulf your throat as you belch

Intestinal disturbance, your ileum turns inside-out

Your duodenum is thrust up towards your mouth

Your pancreas excretes stale septic pus

Your whole digestive system is now a sticky mush

Liquidized oesophagus mixes with bloodied excretion

As you pathetically gasp for breath

The stench of hot faeces scorches your nose

As you violently vomit to death

Your intestines are rising up towards your throat

Stale bile escaping through your bloodied nose

Your colon digested in acidic slush

Your tongue gargling on your dislocated anus

Your inside cooking, steaming and hot

Exploding pus and bile, abdominal saliva sprays

Gouging out your intestines and rubbing them in your face

And, finally, you DIE...

It’s horrible huh ? This spell affect only humanoids creatures (ogres and trolls tooo, but not the giants) and

victim dies. If a victim have 15 hd or more, she survive if she have a successful saving throw vs magical death.

If she fail, she die. If she have a successful saving throw, she must be ''healed ''(by the spell heal) or die in the

following 3 hours (during these hours of pain, she can’t cast spells, run or attack). Also, she loose 3

constitution points (cannot regain them)

NOTE : the casting of this spell is an evil act. For this reason, the caster must be evil or neutral.
