Yaskiira had no wish to upshow the first House within their own temple, so she had Omaras rest their floating litter outside of the doors. At all times, there were guards watching them, and none of them had not recognized the magical appraisals that had washed over their bodies as they floated over the moat, a team of Qu'Larrin wizards dutifully making sure that their guests were as harmless as babes. Yaskiira did not enjoy making house calls to Qu'Larrin, knowing that anything could happen to her inside of those walls. House Auvryzynge was powerful, but they were a haphazard orphanage compared to Matron Ellysia Qu'Larrin and the house she ran.<br/><br/>The four scions of Auvryzynge, and their very matron climbed out of the litter, and made their way up the obsidian steps, and into the Temple proper, where Matron Ellysia waited, on a tall ivory throne, intricately carved and sculpted to make it seem as if some magnificent avatar of Lloth had weaved it herself. No male was allowed to be seated next to Matron Yaskiira; She sat sandwiched between her sister, Luamur'ss, and her daughter Dhauneari. Omaras instantly seated himself on the opposite side of his daughter, while the patron of Auvryzynge reluctantly was seated beside Luamur'ss. Mostly silent, they waited for the rest of the council to gather around the great table, which was capable of fitting hundreds of drow, it seemed.<br/><br/>When the Matron first spoke, there was no ceremony, or any subtlety.<strong>"Menzoberranzan is under attack..."</strong>She said, and instantly sharp, low words were being whispered among the Auvryzynge procession, with only Dauglyn, the obedient and opinion-less Patron staying silent. When Ellysia asked for, or suggested that the wizards, high priestesses and weapon masters of Menzoberranzan take part in investigating and reversing this dire situation, Yaskiira bit her lip. Their house had many soldiers, but only to make up for the fact that besides Yaskiira, the matron, they only had one High Priestess, and only one male of worth, Omaras, of course, who was perhaps the house's greatest asset. Challin, the houses Weapon Master, was a female, and currently not present for the council.<br/><br/>"Auvryzynge shall offer all of her powers to return Donigarten to a state of normalcy... And to see that your late sister's omens go unfullfilled," Yaskiira said out loud, in a clear and strong voice.
