Summary: After his first Grand Melee, Shae now truly finds out, what it means to be at Melee Magthere. He now is a Secondyear, new aspirants looking up to him, though he is the youngest. Something so very new to him and of course his own class is anything but lazy in honing their skills: after every year, there's another Grand Melee to sort their ranks within their class. The more prowess they gain, the harder that challenge - other challenges he will now face among other young drow, all males, learning their places in the Menzoberranzan Matriarchy. Only one thing for him was clear: he needed to change blades to overcome his inadequacies!

Not Monday but: another chapter online :)

#Shae is now in his 2nd year at Magthere and his first action is switching blades - much to his masters dismay. At first.

Summary: What were the boys up to in their Firstmonth at Melee-Magthere? Clogged latrines, missing clothes, marked beds ... the range is full of rutting youngster's doing shit and since it's Menzoberranzan, at least some will have to pay a toll. Three males, two of them masters of Magthere, meet in the Cup and Lizard, reflecting about the happenings in that month on a rare setting: they are friends.

Summary: And how the youngster was, whirling his blades around his wrists and then came … for Shae, the Harkkanir, who dared taking what he held no right to! This was noble against noble, he was not worthy to take such a prize. And then it was three against one and though Shae was outstandingly agile and forced his body once more into a surge that left all around now staring at that vicious fight, the largest of the four turning and dancing like water in and around, steel against steel in a desperate try to get at least one down, but he could not. His lack in age, his exhausted body that held no reserves finally gave the trio a chance to get through his defences, whacking him several times soon after another, tiring his legs by sheer vehemence and force for they could not disarm him, he was slippery as an eel, and once his feet had to slow down, the more vicious blows followed; to his upper body, to his side, onto his upper arms, numbing them hit by hit, Rauvenhor finally brought a foot in and swept Shae right from his feet, when he – again – managed to turn out of a double-strike that had gone for his thigh.

Monday! Another chapter online - first day at Melee-Magthere and it's already getting bloody. #Shae is competing with other youngsters for the first time and is too stubborn to accept, he is the youngest among them.

Summary: “Araushnee, who has forsaken that name for evermore, denying them holding any power over her ever since then, is now known to us as Lady Lolth and that name only from now on. And you all see the truth now, children of Lolth. You are very much alive, and you thrive in power and purpose, though they decided, we should not. They sought our extinction, tried to cut our threats to the very one, who always had protected us, who held our heritage proud and high, but was erased from the godly fey order. But even when she had been banished, when the treacherous fae had condemned her to fall, stripping her from her fey-god place, she did not yield, she did not succumb, she was not undone. Instead, she fought for us and she led us, though driven away, driven under, finding and giving us a place, where she could house us, could give us a home so she once more could nourish and protect, unfolding what is ours by right of birth…”

Monday! Another chapter online.

First day at Melee-Magthere for #Shae and already getting rallied against the treacherous surface-cousins ... and finding a friend, though he doesn't even know, what that means.

Summary: The academy. Tier Breche. Yes, he knew exactly how to get there and what lay on his way there. The Bazaar. It was not even a quarter of the fifth cycle risen – he had plenty of time until the seventh. At least for one, who knew the ways and was ready to defend himself, if necessary. He stuffed the badge and the little tin box into the folds of his scarf, hiding everything as he had learned early, walked outside Nag’Thûr compound, now indeed a bit prouder, a bit bolder, a bit more … joyous for the Bazaar probably was the best place to him in the whole city. Soon that would change – Melee-Magthere would bring him unexpected... potential for development. In body and mind.

Monday! Another chapter online!
#Shae is finally leaving for the academy, soon starting training at Melee-Magthere.

Let me introduce you to Triel Oblodra, one of the three known survivors of the third house of #Menzoberranzan. She is a powerful psion (modded class). She is an opportunistic pragmatist and while not stricly speaking evil, will often consider every possible option before acting.

#Drow #BG3 #DnD

Summary: No one said a word, at least none on the compound – the onlookers who strolled-by the fence already were gathering, loudly, murmuring, all trying to get the best view on that public spectacle. Menzoberranzan never missed such an occasion and after all, this was the merchants district, full with drow.

Summary: “Indeed,” she agreed, raising her hip again, inviting his tongue and mouth for another short tease, before she pressed him further. “But he was of your loins.” He stared again at her, licking her eagerly now, sucking on her little, sensible hillock, then circled around it, again using his piercing to elicit a slight moan. Yet he was not sure, what she wanted to hear of him. She never had asked him such; it never had mattered.

New Year, new chapters online. Chapters? Right! A little treat for the new year: I uploaded 2 chapters at once for you.

Summary: He frowned a little, when he thought about the lake again, for had made a rather unwilling acquaintance with it last month and it nearly had been a decision about life and death, had he never swum before. Near the lake now, close to Braeryn district, where the sick, the outlaw and the non-human inhabitants lived, guarded of course, he stopped for a moment, when could see the dark, silent lake from the little steep that would lead him further to the gates of House Hunzrin.

Summary: “If that is the best you can do, you better get yourself to the goblin-pack,” Estramon scolded him, after he had beaten the boy again onto the sands, “… you are rather servant than fighter.” The weapon’s master had a wide smirk on his face, striding over the sands, the early morning group that trained this day with him had made space, so the larger drow and their superior by rank had all the room to train with the little brat named Shae’Zar. Who was again eating dirt, as every day.

Summary: “See, that’s why you need to know how to use a weapon so early. Any weapon,” Raghallee had turned to Shae’Zar, who was in the middle of the corridor out of reach for any other prisoner, breathing hard, still sorting out what just had happened, his lips smeared with blood, his eyes in a mix of horror and anger. “He is a surface-elf, darthiir, a light-liver, a surface-dweller, Shae’Zar. Mortal enemy to us drow.”

Monday! Another chapter online! #Shae for the first time meets a surface-elf, mortal enemy to the drow, and he immediately learned, why they are.
#fanfic #dnd #drow #menzoberranzan

archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary: Would there be more drow, maybe someone as small as him, another ‘little shit’ as high priestess Maralyll used to address him? Would Shae’Zar once look similar to Estramon, when he ‘got older’, ‘grew up’, as Raghallee had named that process? Would his hair be that long? Would he even wear such weapons once? There were so many questions floating around in his head now and kept up with each other, with every new corridor, every step he walked down behind her, with every new sound and every new face he saw. Could he explore all of this now and go everywhere then with another just as small … as young as him? One who most likely would understand him better, who must have the same thoughts?

Monday! Another chapter online.

Summary: He just stood there, head lowered again, holding the book in his little hands, now that she gave it back to him but otherwise ignored the little boy while talking to Raghallee and Maralyll. He did not understand, he just had delivered himself into her hands by simply not being fragile and helpless anymore. He soon would be of use within her house – speaking and at best truly reading soon would help him find his place among the lowest in house Nag’Thûr. The time of restraint passed involuntarily with every year that little maggot grew up.

Monday! Another chapter online: Shae's early years at House Nâg'Thûr in #Menzoberranzan. Not a pleasure to grow up, especially when you're a male #drow.

Summary: “Which way to leave … the house?” she gnarled at Raghallee who was barely conscious by now, the chains even had made her knuckles white, that hard she tried to hold against them but she was a female drow, she was not one to give up by choking her. She managed to lift an elbow, though she gagged heavily, had she almost let go of the metal noose around her neck. The direction given, was over the square, along the line of statues, and Shaerazade understood, this most likely was an alleyway, an entry square to the compound, that held the house. She was not sure, but she thought she could even make out something, that might be an iron fence, web-like structures. Most likely, the house itself would be to the other side, overlooking that square – she would need to have an eye on it, when stepping outside. She stepped outside. She turned her head and eyed her surroundings. And she froze.

Monday! Another chapter online

Summary: The handmaiden had retreated by now, again excited clacker, gurgle, smacking. This time it was not laughter. It seemed to be … exultation. She raised her legs to climb off the altar and up to her portal then, leaving all staring at her and the boy who panted heavily, soaked in blood, eyes closed, fatigue beyond any limits. Ãmon he is.

Summary: She didn’t know how long she was in that room, that chamber, that prison, in total darkness, chained up to a post made of something wood-like, though its structure differed from what she knew of wood. Her eyes could attune to darkness, she had a form of darkvision herself – all elves had – but it didn’t help her much, was she not capable of seeing heating patterns, like the drow could.

Monday! Another chapter online.
Did you know, #Shae was born in #Menzoberranzan? Though one could not say, it was a good start and for sure, his life would be anything but pleasant. He is a male, after all.

Summary: Rapiers clanged against scimitar and elven longsword, that male that was even a bit larger than Khor, immediately pressed her lover mercilessly and – much to her surprise formidably. He was fast, lightning fast, his arms swirling his blades almost in a blur here and there in such a trained precision, worthy all the stories the pair had heard about the fighters from Menzoberranzan. Khor could not trick that one with his wild attacks and recklessness, he had to fight hard for every counter, against every press and could not score a hit by now. A worthy opponent, Khor had to admit, he enjoyed the challenge.

Not Monday but: Next chapter online!

Always wanted to know about the parents of #Shae? Here you go!
#dnd #drow #fanfiction #menzoberranzan

The svirfneblin had encountered a strange pair, an elven maiden and her drow companion were driven underground. Against all odds, they were a couple, she in late pregnancy and it seemed, that drow who did not quite behave like all the others, the deep gnomes had met so far, was the father. Menzoberranzan entered the stage, made it unmistakable, the pair was of their interest and in the end, this would be a beginning, no story should ever start with. This is a story of darkness, of evil drow matriarchy and it will be a question of sole survival to the bitter end.

The wait is over! We're finally starting into this!

You've allready come to know #Shae by the alternate BG3 storyline, now we'll dive deep into his past, a lot of #drow lore with his life in #Menzoberranzan. Be warned! lore-friendly, evil drow society!
