(Here's the basic back round)
Ched Nasad, the once proud city of Shimmering Webs has collapsed. It once was suspended on more then one hundred layers of webs. However, those like many of the leading houses lay smoking on the bottom of a chasm. This once beautiful city is all but destroyed. The mass of the populace lying with the crumbled ruins of the city.
The Duergar are responsible, as well as House Zauvirr. The low ranking house sought to become powerful in this chaotic time. Lolth has been silent granting no magic or blessing to those who seek it. House Zauvirr saw this as the perfect time to use their money to gain influence. Bringing the duegar mercenaries in to destroy the powerful houses. They got more then they bargained for. The most powerful houses, House Nasadra and House Melarn were both assaulted and all but destroyed. The Duegar using a nasty little concoction called Stonefire, worked magic on the mighty fortresses of these houses. However the webs supporting the very city caught fire as well. One by one the Great and weak fell burning into the Chasm below.
Not all was lost however. You lived. Your House, House Teh'Kinrellz survived the destruction. The nobles and hunters having been on a Chitine hunt at the time of the attack. The Chitine's were absent from the surrounding area leading to a quick and unsuccessful hunt. The house's fortress itself was located on the chasm walls. The matron was also gone seeking favor in Lolth’s eyes. She took soldiers, priestesses, even Wizards to a secret holy location not far away from the town before the destruction began.
Maybe 6 or 7 thousand had survived the initial destruction. Minor houses on the chasm walls were alive. However enemies learning of the destruction, attacked. Without house armies the survivors were crushed. Slavers arrived as well, with many easy pickings to choose from. Your House managed to push off these disorganized raiders.
Your Matron upon arriving at once was Ched Nasad looked and found a location to begin what she calls the Reclamation of Ched Nasad. With the wizards help, the hunting party returned quickly. A new Hunt began however. A minor house was where she planned to start, with superior numbers and the lack of any true combat-nobles the minor house was taken.
With a base of operations and a defendable location The Matron Teh'kinrellz had a large wench system created at the new base. Over the last few months search parties were lowered to chasm floor and began searching for anything. Many more drow have been added the house, it's total size having swelled to just over one hundred members. Hundreds of slaves have been claimed and bullied into digging thru the wreckage. Progress has gone so quickly that the house's wizards have not been able to inspect all the things pulled from the debris.
Now to rebuild and to live.
