All the stuff passed the 80's AR, is not going to be included as considered "modern history"...(I am not including/keeping it after the end polish even if currently now there were something in other timelines...

As Rule of Thumb, we cut off after the Planar Rift Crysis

Basically, I'll make you some questions to update the timeline:
1. When did your tyranny ended? (aproached year or decade)
I think it was ajust before Orn Gixi takeover. it think Murag was active leader from AR 37 to 44 perhaps. I would not like to take out from the history the Udos-grondian wars.. it was a great player made event in those times.
2. At what date started the hegemony of the Goblin Clan ogoboooo over Grond?
Goblin Kingdom is a contiunity of the goblin ruled Grond before the Flood and Illthid Threat... officially Goblin Kingdom was announced Under Queen Nom Nom AR 91.

It was a short but glorious time when goblins was strong and numerous...

3.Is there anything else we should add into the timeline? ( In short per entry, a couple or three lines max... No names others than the really relevant characters -leaders, or heroes who developed some epic/historic event as main starring-).
Ill think about it...

I am sorry, but in the polishing and shortening we pretend to give some orientation about what happened, but without detaills... Like a paint you may see so briefly while passing in a hurry, so giving you a hint but that you couldn't yet describe in detaill.

Thanks for your colaboration!

Nope. The thing is the following:

Skeflock was worked with drow as puppet but for grondians it seemed like we are independent. And when Skeflock was step down (RL took over..etcetc) Murag take his position, (it was just before after the vote system was implemented) but Skeflock did not tell Murag that grondian Tyrant s a drow puppet to make grondians happy in their dunghole as freedom.

So Murag stepped up as independent leader with strong support base from Grond. And that time the war started.

Murag was leader 37-38-->42 the war has happend in AR 42 i think. After that Murag went to self exile via the lost battle against the Drow. (It was a huge DM led battle against Grond)

I don't want to steal any credit or something like that, but I am pretty positive that the events described in red as well as the date 36 AR were related to, orchestrated and dealt with by Oblodra, not Nives. Nives came along as a figure with any sort of political influence much later ~ around 50 AR, when Oblodra coerced her to join her house and foolishly put her into the position of first priestess of the Temple (Ulath'tallar ~ essentially the drow Pope).

The date 30 AR notes the self-proclamation of Flux'in as a valsharess. The events could be summarised as follows: Oblodra rose to a position of the matron mother of house Drak'aa, which would put Flux'in, the current Ulath'tallar into a position of Oblodra's subordinate, which she didn't want and abused her command of the Killian Yath (militaristic Temple honour guard) to temporarily extend her influence and power enough for her to proclaim herself the queen of the drow (note that this is the only instance of such event in the entire history of the drow of Arelith). Eventually the conflict has been resolved by Flux'sin's disappearance and consequent diffusion of the Temple guard by Oblodra's decree in order to weaken the political influence of the Temple and prevent such events from happening again.

I write this to clarify that Oblodra ruled Udos Dro'xun and extended her will through both political influence and a guild of assasins for over two decades before Nives defeated her in combat and took her place.

Here is a chronological order of drow leaders who ruled Udos Dro'xun for extended periods of time:

1. Lithana Elg'Carin (leader of one of the founding houses of Udos Dro'xun)
2. Shairin Dria'fiend (matron mother of house Dria'fiend who managed to destroy all rival houses and merge her house with house Elg'Carin then rule Udos unopposed by herself)
3. Chath Z'Ress (Ulath'tallar originally of house Dria'fiend, who took it upon herself to continue drow ways and culture after the rest of house Dria'fiend left the island and general political position of the noble houses was weakened in comparison to the three academies. She also founded her own house and procliamed herself the first matron leading to centralisation of power)
4. Flux'sin D'areth (Ulath'tallar of house Drak'aa who continued Chath's legacy of trying to change the position of the Temple from a political playground of the noble houses to an institution of notable political influence by itself. Eventually she succeeded and managed to become the Valsharess)
5. Oblodra Drak'aa (First matron of house Drak'aa who lead Udos Dro'xun into a new era when true power returned to the noble houses who made war against and attempted to oppress the "lesser" races of Urblexis Grond)
6. Nives Zar'Rocc (Originally the Ulath'tallar of house Drak'aa who managed to take the place of her matron mother, renamed house Drak'aa to house Zar'Rocc and lead the drow through the turbulent times after the Cataclysm)

Disclaimer: this is my recollection of events through my own subjective perception. Facts may vary as we're discussing events that took place several RL years ago.

From your data, and comparing with the Encyclopedia for aproaching dates, I added this into the Chronology:


~10 BR (Underdark - Udos Dro'xun).- Lithana Elg'Carin found and rules Udos Dro'xun as the Il'haress of the Elg'Carin Quellar (The Drow House Elg'Carin).

20’s AR (Underdark – Udos Dro’Xun).- Oblodra Dra'Kaa who rose to the positionof Il'haress of the Quellar Dra'Kaa will rule Udos Droxun through political influence and a guild of assasins for over two decades.

36 AR (Underdark – Udos Dro’Xun).- The drow Nives Zar'Rocc took over the position of Oblodra Dra'Kaa and renamed the house as Zar'Rocc. She will lead the drow through the turbulent times after the Cataclysm.


Let me know if still wrong.

I am looking for an aproached date for this

2. Shairin Dria'fiend (matron mother of house Dria'fiend who managed to destroy all rival houses and merge her house with house Elg'Carin then rule Udos unopposed by herself)

I guess I saw something before...

Also, I would like to point out that the library in Andunor's Devil's Table contains a series of books that provide a fairly accurate recollection of events related to the drow noble houses of Udos Dro'xun... and you can FOIG the history out of those tomes! :D

As was commented some times by other fellows, we should avoid excesive detail... shortening the Chronology more even that I did.
I must agree. The less, the better as will not only be a lighter reading, but also won't discourage any historician if they tried to get moer extensive data.

Of course, if something important and notiecd was missed, we can anytime add and update.

I won't go IG for anything untill the day I may become an historician myself (and I may like it certainly, a neutral oghmite with a deep thirst of knowledge, going to read and interview everything and everywhere... in archeological, paleontological and philosophical expeditions, mapping and descripting this precious jewel that is Arelith)

I will use your entries of course,
You have my gratitude for your colaboration in this Chronology, that I hope may provide a sweet support to our nostalgic players and as to have some guidelines for future backgrounds, events and quests from players and DMs.

Between Fluxin and Nives you have the Assination of Fluxsin by forces of Jahn'lara V'raevir, leading to her ascension as first Matron. She was matron during the Rippers event if that helps narrow it down. Sometime after that V'raevir house is absorbed by Dy'nin and Phyr'lene Dy'nin becomes first matron.

This is really cool, some fixes:

The kobold Nastakanoth Meknon founded the Order of the Black Depths. Iejir was his first Lieutenant, the Dretch Claw, and later took over as the Commander after Nastakanoth died.

The Order of the Black Depths worked as Grond's Militia and had a lot of power thanks to Skeflock. Later internal struggles between the Kobolds and Goblins happened quite frequently. Causing a huge mess over and over.

I think it was Oblodra who created a magical link between kobold Iejir and the goblin Godo. When either took damage the other one would feel it as well. It caused some, if short-lived, peace between the two factions.

The Order of the Black Depths worked as Grond's Militia and had a lot of power thanks to Skeflock. Later internal struggles between the Kobolds and Goblins happened quite frequently. Causing a huge mess over and over.

I think it was Oblodra who created a magical link between kobold Iejir and the goblin Godo. When either took damage the other one would feel it as well. It caused some, if short-lived, peace between the two factions.
Well... Will later update all these entries into the UD timeline as for the General one.

But I hope I could catch anything of all this IG aswell in my historian at some point :D as I pretend now to make something better IG.

Thank you for your colaborations.

Added this into the UD timeline and the Arelith one

74 to 80 AR (Underdark - Udos Dro'Xun - Pit Town).- Tam'ira Al'truissa seizes the control of the Magthere and Sorcere throught her daughters Hounynrae and May'ssin. The House Al'truissa rules over Udos and Pit town for sixteen years.


Can't yet add the other entries unless I may get some aproximation for a date. (Even a decade may be enough)

You have Nives arriving way too early. Nives didn't exist until 2009-10, at which point Oblodra had been Ilharess for 2-4 years (real life time). A lot of what you credited Nives with doing was in fact Oblodra. Nives certainly wasn't there to deal with Skeflock.


It's also worth noting nearly all 'lesser' houses were killed off by Nives during her reign.

The original council was Flux'sin or Yasayne Drak'aa, Phyr'Ylene Dy'Nin and Szintala (I think) Vraevir. No idea of dates.
Urblexis Grond bought it's freedom for 3million gp split between the matrons.
I think House Driafiend ruled before House Z'Ress did (not by much earlier).

House Z'kath existed quite a while before Nives did (Nives made Nives when Z'Kath fell as her main at the time was in Z'Kath). It was founded by Eowien Xilo'delyn, Ami'anthrade Z'Kath and Lualyrr Terrana.


House Al'truissa was started way before 74AR.
It began because House Xeth're'dane eradicated the then 2nd house-Melana- (making Vashca Xeth're'dane the 2nd Matron) during Oblodra's rule. Al'truissa was started by Quenthel Altruissa (a very long time high priestess).
Quenthel and Vashca's replacement (Yasraena Xeth're'dane) had a lot of disagreements, but generally peace was maintained.
When Nives beat Oblodra, Yasraena disappeared not long after (and Xeth're'dane was repeatedly attacked by Zar'Rocc before she left). Quenthel disappeared, and a 'new generation' of Altruissa took over. Which basically left Zar'Rocc as the only truly established house for a time.

It should be worth noting that there should be no history available for -any- houses that died before or during the destruction of U'dos Dro'xun. Why is it you ask? It was a very Lolthite culture and part of that culture is any time a house dies according to FR lore all traces of history is also removed, as if the house had never existed in the first place.

+1. If any witnesses survive it is bad bad news for the attacking House.
