Menzoberranzan

Menzoberranzan is a fictional city in the world of Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. It is located in the depths of the Underdark, below the river Surbrin. It is famed as the birthplace of Drizzt Do´Urden.

Menzoberranzan had its own PC game and was also a boxed gaming supplement for AD&D, with three books.

The city has 32,000 inhabitants - one-third drow and the rest humanoid slaves. The city trades poisons, tasty mushrooms, riding lizards, spell scrolls, wine, and water.

Menzoberranzan is ruled by a council of matrons from the eight greatest noble houses; the most powerful person in the city is Mother Baenre, a drow cleric who was been the single most powerful political figure in Menzoberranzan for a few thousand years.
