Vardenfell
Vardenfell is one of the oldest drow settlements in the Underdark. Also referred to as the City of Stone and Shadow, it is filled with dark elves of varying class and attitude, and conflicts among the three great Houses. The party can explore the city, however, they must be cautious, the drow are distrusting of foreign races at best and blatantly xenophobic at worst.
Demographics
Almost entirely drow population, only other different races would be outside mercenaries and slaves.
Government
Government is run by the Hierarchy of the Houses. The three most powerful Houses in Vardenfell make most to all decisions and if not they fall back on prayer to patron goddess Lolth.
Population: 12,300 (96% Drow, 4% other races)
Government: The City of Stone and Shadow is run by the three Great Houses: Vesh, Dryloth, and Sorrenall. Each House is headed by their Matron, and together they rule over Vardenfell.
Commerce: Vardenfell is a self-sustaining city. They use their slave labor to grow their food and mine their materials. And whatever they cannot get in the Underdark, they simply take through raids of the surface.
