Iarris

Northern country.

Country: Iarris

The Underhold: nation-state in the Underdark, one of the most dominant powers in Iarris

Thorn & Gwendydde’s clan:

House Vanostra

Top-tier vampire clan, directly or indirectly controls most Iarris urban areas. Super infighty, super political, not very interested in expanding the empire but *very* interested in building wealth & long-term power.

Located aboveground on the steppe, geographically very close to the Underhold though

Mandy’s clan:

Akvatri

Drow “alliance”. Is it an alliance if they have slaves? Sizeable player in the Underhold nation-states - has been at war with other random clans for economic/idealistic reasons basically forever. They’ve worked with the Vanostra in the past, but right now they’re on the outs - minor scraps up and down the territory borders. Give it fifty years, they’ll be cool again.

House Ventrue

Closest long-term ally of the Vanostra. Humans, duergar, basically all the mortal folks who’re trying to keep their heads down. Economic powerhouse of the region.

The Septemi

Vampire clan, competitor to the Vanostra. Younger, crazier, less politically motivated. Kind of a French Revolution thing - they’re the revolution against the Vanostra, but they’re also awful, so, shrug.

Amastas Anvari

The actual physical literal house of supporters of Amastas Anvari, who is a baelnorn (basically an elven lich, kind of.) Think like religious nation-state - they’re the graymoral Vatican and Anvari is the pope.

Childerclan

Started as a prison colony, became a very fucked up and scary band of weirdoes. Anybody who gets booted from any other clan, ends up with the Childerclan. Their “leader” is called Childers, but nobody knows who or what that is, or at least, nobody’s gonna talk about it. Childerclan is a total X factor in any conflict they’re in.
