    The Founding Of House Kilafin


    House Kilafin was formed in 734 in the reckoning of the Dale. LiNeer Zaurae, a devote priestess of Lolth and second daughter of her house split off from her mother and founded House Kilafin, the People of the Webs.  The house started strong, for the second daughter took with her the Weapons Master from her mother's house, Wodzar, and he became her patron. From the time of conception, the house priestesses and melee masters have forged bonds of strength, making the Kilafin blood lines strong. In those early, hard years the Spider Queen showed herself to LiNeer and her priestesses, acclaiming the Kilafin House favored and destined for great things. 

    This small house began to grow under the matronage of LiNeer, and it began to climb in status, and the Matron Mother began bleaching the bones of all her conquered enemies, building a magnificent throne from where she held her business... inspiring awe and dread in everyone who came to call on her house. By the time LiNeer died at age 598, her house had risen to the tenth house of Menzoberranzan, destroying many houses... including her mother's, to get there.


    In 1034 by Dale Reckoning, LiNeer was assassinated by her daughter, Malarra. During the first years of her reign, she was content in her station, for she was neither a target for the higher houses, but much more powerful than the lower houses. After 100 years of stagnancy, Matron Malarra began to climb to the top. She made it to Forth House quickly, procuring a on the Ruling Council. Lolth truly seemed to be smiling on the House until the Matron met with a strange drow woman and began to change. With the late destruction of the Third and Second Houses, Kilafin became second only to House Rilynund. When it became apparent the Matron had lost her faith in Mother Lolth, her daughter Qu'enil sacrificed her to the Spider Queen. That was in Marpenoth of 1372.
