The Tanor’Thal Refuge

For the better part of a century, this massive structure, carved to resemble a stone spider, has loomed high above, hanging from the 300-foot high ceiling of the Heart. Its eight eyes, enchanted with twinkling, many-coloured permanent Faerie Fire spells look down over Skullport. In the past, it washeld by House Tanor’Thal, a powerful drow family who controlled a good deal of power in Skullport. However, internal conflicts and greed got the better of the house, as often becomes of drow houses, and ultimately, House Tanor’thal was in no position to hold its own against the Xanathar Guild when they began their sweep through the factions of Skullport. It is said that one of Xanathar’s lieutenants, Sundeth, drove a pike through their high priestess’ chest and threw her from this structure before hunting down her underlings. The remainder of House Tanor’thal fled into the Underdark. Now, the stone structure stands empty, save for a brood of giant spiders that have been planted there by House Auvryndar in preparation for an oncoming assaulton Skullport.
