At a Glance
The Eldreth Veluuthra —also known as Uluuth Phlarenn— is an organization of elves dedicated to the destruction of humanity and the supremacy of pure-blooded elves. Half-elves and drow are anathema to them, but they will accept or extort aid from anyone in the pursuit of their agenda. The roots of the group stretch back to 262 DR, when five noble houses left Myth Drannor following the Coronal’s decision to open that city and Cormanthor to humans and other races. The five houses were Bharaclaiev, Hyshaanth, Rhaevaern, Starym, and Tellynnan; members of these houses and about a dozen minor houses soon began a series of murderous raids against human settlements which gradually coalesced into the Eldreth Veluuthra. Members of these houses still hold power in the organization today.
