Nezri’hothoph

A few miles south of the sister cities of Mir Val & Ylisz'tir is a stray mountain range. One can see plates jutting through and lifting up directly through the continent. Outcroppings and Caverns along the Forest-side of the range lead deep into the deepest depths of the Underdark, showing what lies beneath the Wilds' surface.Myconids litter the higher parts only 50 to 75 Miles beneath the surface, going down further than that leads you to a large Gothic city situated within a gargantuan subterranean Cavern. Nezri'hothoph, An ancient home to a collective group of rather unlikely congregated Drow and Illithids. Although they are all congregated, There is still quite the separation between the two races' cultures. Drow society is a strict matriarchy separated into compound-like fortresses called Houses, mostly connected by a very strict, and often intermingling blood line with few suitable marry offs of Males from other Houses. Drow often surround themselves in religious propaganda and have massive sections of their Houses dedicated to temples built in favor of their appointed god, Most Commonly ones with malicious intent. (I.e. Malos, Jangwa, Ferrum and Mytres. However other, more commonly worshipped gods are also worshipped by the houses more interested with intellectual or magical pursuits, such as Certiorem, or Equinox.). These Drow Houses are not the only example of architecture within the city. Major sections of the city are crawling with various lower-rung races such as Duegar, Illithid, segregated sections of Svirfneblin and Myconid Collectives, all of which live alongside the Drow themselves. The Illithid majority of the population hold an open and normal economy with the Drow. They purchase slaves from the Drow as a means to please the Queen Mind of the Illithid, an ancient elder brain, giving information and knowledge to please it's wishes. Not only does mentally enslaving lower entities give pleasure to the mind, but the Mind Flayers themselves often devour the brains of thralls that are no longer needed, which provides sustenance to the race as a whole. With this mutually beneficial connection between the two powerful Lordly Races of this City, they often stake out and hunt through the forest side of the Mountain range, subjugating hunters, adventurers, caravans, or even small Wild-Elf colonies within this place.
