Alystin Yauntyrr
Matron Mother Alystin Yauntyrr
Born in compound of House Yauntyrr in Llurth Dreir.
Alystin was the first born daughter of Matron Shridra the Matron Mother of House Yauntyrr.
Alystin was born with an extreme aptitude for the arcane, being the first born daughter and thus heir to House Yauntyrr, she was sent away to Menzoberranzan to study the arcane, and to learn from the matriarchs of the eight ruling families in the city of spiders.
She spent 120 years in the city of spiders before attaining the title of acolyte of Lolth and being assigned to oversee the shrine of Lolth located in her home town in the great Bhaerynden.
It is during this time she took her younger brother Valas under her tutelage as she instructed him in the school of necromancy and taught him the ways of the spider queen, intending him to become a faithful servant of Lolth, this instruction was concluded following a final trial wherein Valas was instructed to sacrifice their youngest brother to the spider queen, which he did without hesitation.
After completing this task Alystin bestowed her blessing upon her brother and sent him out of the underdark to pursue greater power and to spread the dread of Lolth to the surface world.
During the 160 year instruction of her brother Alystin attained the title of Priestess of Lolth and was assigned to the temple of Lolth in Llurth Dreir, where she continued to study and grow to become a powerful necromancer as she experimented with sacrifices that were made to the spider queen.
She later killed her mother, finaly making her High Presitess of the Church of Lolth, and Matron Mother of House Yauntyrr.

The Yathtallar's Council:
Quenthel Baenre - The Yathtallar, strong beautiful and regal She is defiantly deserving of the title of Lolth's mouthpiece... for now.
