With my respects...Daermon N'a'shezbaernon.

It's specifically noted in both the "Dark Elf" trilogy and Ed's Drow of the Underdark.

Daermon N'a'shezbaernon is the ancient and formal name of House Do'Urden in Menzoberranzan.

House Do'Urden is the name used more frequently and currently. The formal name reflects the past and more ancient periods of drow culture.

I was wondering if maybe the Do'Urdens had supplanted the N'a'shezbaernons, via a change of dynasty rather than a take-over. For example, if all the N'a'shezbaernon matrons had been killed and cousin Do'Urden had to take over (she probably being behind the event in the first place).

To be honest they have all been eliminated except Drizzt and maybe Dinnin. (if he's still alive.)

I'll also note that Ed's Drow of the Underdark references that particular detail.
