<div class="floatright"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>House Auvyrahel</strong></span><br/>(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/1f/04/571f04474f6b39194cb22e71cce991dd.jpg)</div><br/><br/>Before the priestess wars, Auvyrahel had been one lesser houses, ranking 20 overall and been there long time and main residence was outside city in medium sized stagalmite. But since purge performed by Arissa Auvyrahel to clear out illithid influence (and go several decades paint local illithid enclaves walls in pasty brain matter until very echo of her psycic presence cause brain diarrhead on elder brains), the house became abandoned several decades and was fought as regular prize for many factions during the war. Until Arissa made big return and claim title as matron mother, which in chaos and tumult in aftermath was passed and accepted by Lolth church albeit not rest lesser noble houses. It would take ten years to stabilize (along ruthless on face blunt approach by Arissa) to get any secure holding of former house space outside city of Erelhei-Cinlu.<br/><br/>However, once she recruited Aergrim as house mage, slavemaster and mastermind help organize banking and running house finances (which had lot, as she had gathered<em>immense</em>personal wealth and many her adventuring companions invested in her). She invested to many small businesses, then started loan money to help find businesses in city during rebuilding and create solid foot in general export in goods and also lesser houses which were desperate for resources after priestess wars....was it slaves for labor, money or general goods. She then without mercy loaned and demanded a long term prosperous return the funds back. One house did refuse....and immediate ruin, destruction by Lolth clergy along surrendering all house assets slammed face rest lesser drow nobles (and greater houses) respect the deal or else.<br/><br/>This lead to situation where now house Auvyrahel despite being only 10th rank lesser noble house has immense wealth and influence in local market. Also perhaps few rare cases of success on actual establishing banking system which works for drows and non-drows alike! Because of this, more so strong interest on keeping good foreign relations, the house primary headquarters now rest in Ghetto of Foreigner, the old primary household building now functions more as secondary military base and also vault for house fortunes. Now in recent years, house has invested more on jewelcrafting. Training exclusive skilled slave labor which combines deep gnomes gemcutting techniques with fine drow slave artisan skills create exclusive jewelry designs which both catch eye and provide potent magical protections. Starting become wanted items across all noble houses. But also skillful glasswork fake gems sell very well to middle class citizens, as beauty of the jewelry does not diminish in reduction of material.<br/><br/>So if house Auvyrahel should descriped briefly in three statements and shortly about matron mother? It would be; Rich and well established in trade, Well trained rental slaves, Bank of Erelhei-Cinlu and matron mother scary enough psionic monsters checking under the beds looking for her.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">House stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Matron Prowess: 15th level<br/>Prestige: 10th house (+0 charisma mod dealing other drow nobles)<br/>Wealth: Rich (NPC gear +1 variant &amp; 1,000/500gp per week raise to PC's)<br/>Influences: 3x[Banking], [Friendly to Outsiders]<br/>Speciality: [Monstrous Slaves]<br/>Military: 12,500 (protect house/strongholds + army)<br/>Slaves: 5,000 (good 1/3 mix to three fields; labor, military and pleasure, personal use mostly but can easily sell 50% entire population without diminish house utilities for emergency windfall for cash)<br/>Economy: [Jewelcrafting], [Trade Goods Exports]<br/>Size: Stronghold inside the city at ghetto of foreigners and exterior medium stagalmite base outside city<br/></div></div>
