The Auzkovyn Clan

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A group of drow, approximately 3500 in number, which lives on the surface of Faerûn. About 200 years ago, they surfaced in the High Forest; recently, they’ve relocated to Cormanthor. They are predominantly followers of Vhaeraun.

Unlike most other drow, the Auzkovyn will ally with friendly elves, half-elves, and even Vhaeraun-worshipping humans. They have an easy truce with the House Jaelre drow, since —even though both inhabit Cormanthor— they share their loyalty to Vhaeraun and the Auzkovyn have little interest in jumping the Jaelre claims on elven settlements.
