You guys have always been a great help with the backgrounds on many of the characters I have played in the past 6 months. With that I give my my most heartfelt thanks Now I wish to call upon you again with something a bit different. I have been comissioned by our dm and the rest of the players to design a minor drow house in Menzoberranzan.(gonna be ranked in the forties). I need help with a background for the house, any npc members of the house you would like to make, and the forces of the house. The pc's will be either nobles or just house soldiers (the choice is up to each player) The only thought I have so far is making the current Matron Mother either a draelgoth or some other type of half fiend.
Any and all suggestions are welcomed

I once play a game where we were drow from a drow house. We were two male wizards (not twins, in fact we somewhat houseruled one was the son fo the Matron Mother's sister, but we didn't knew which one). There was a female rogue, and a "young minotaur", a minotaur slave using savage progression.

About your drow house, it's an interesting idea to have the matron mother be a draegloth (sp?). This matron mother should be very powerful, but no one would trust her, neither her "daughters" or the other matron mothers. That would explain why this house is so low-ranking.

Perhaps does she has only very few daughters (or noble priestesses)? That would be another good way to explain why the house is so low-ranking.
