The Long Death

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

At a Glance

An order of monks devoted to Death — as a force/principle, rather than a specific entity. They don’t pay much attention to which deity holds the portfolio of death; they serve Kelemvor in spite of the fact that Kelemvor rejects the order’s methods and encourages his followers to influence or destroy the monks when they encounter them.

Eldreth Veluuthra

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


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.


Where They’re Found

In short, almost any forest in the Realms. Ardeep Forest, the Border Forest, the Chondalwood, Cormanthor, Evereska, Evermeet, the Grey Forest, the Greycloak Hills, the High Forest, the Methwood, the Misty Forest, the Moonwood, Neverwinter Wood, Urlingwood, the Wealdath, and the Winterwood.
