I did a short write-up of Guallidurth in Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark (2e). It also plays a critical role in the history of Deep Shanatar, as revealed in scattered bits throughout that book.

Guallidurth is situated beneath Calimshan & Tethyr right? Do you by any chance know if there are other Drow cities situated beneath those areas?
No, I wasn't aware of the novel. Might have to check that out myself at some point.
Guallidurth is right underneath the Calim Desert. To my knowledge there isn't another drow settlement close to it, other than perhaps Maeralyn (which is under the isle of Tharsult). Though given Guallidurth's history of aggressive campaigns against Calimshan and Iltkazar, it's likely they wouldn't be keen to tolerate another settlement or potential rival in their presence. However there are some surface drow settlements (Dallnothax, Iskasshyoll, Holldaybim) in the Forest of Mir between Tethyr and Calimshan, inhabited by Vhaeraunites and other drow heretics and exiles of Guallidurth. Ultoksamrin, one of the fallen dwarf kingdoms of Shanatar is also occupied by a band of Vhaeraunites as well. |

Even though it should be an important drow city since it's one of the oldest drow cities in existence (almost as old as Telantiwar, one of the first ever drow cities) and a fairly powerful one at that, there is fairly sparse information on it. Particularly on which houses, factions and characters are of key importance there. However Underdark (3E) mentions House Mizz’rynturl. Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (4E) mentions the following: House Khaven-Ghell, House Loor’Tchaan (mentioned as the First House in the Spellplague era). |
