What do you reckon would have happaned to Lolth worshiping drow of Skullport during Lolths silence?
Most drow cities are locked away from the communities of other races/cultures and gods except for a few merchants who may visit the drow city and this helps make Lolth the only game in town for most drow communities however Skullport is different its not a drow city and Lolths clerics cant run around beating up worshipers of other gods not just because the followers will fight back but also due to the Skulls.
Now what effect is Lolths silence likely to have on the drow of Skullport? Every cleric is going to have known that Lolth isnt granting spells and even worse clerics of other gods still can cast spells. There also indanger of being wiped out by other power groups in the city. So Im thinking theres probably a fairly good chance that a sizeable number of drow converted to other deities due to exposure.
The Drow of the Promenade would have more than likely tried to convert some of Lolths followers as would Vhaeruns faithful in the city. Theres a cleric of Shar in Skullport and a large temple to shar in Undermountain so theres plenty oppertunity for Shar to recruit among the drow. Im thinking that much of House Tanor'Thal will have faded away by the time Lolth returns

I reckon that with the promenade in the vicinity, the reign of house Tanor'thal would be at an end. They would use the advantage. I belive. =)

I rather doubt it, or more specifically, I don't think we have enough lore on this to be able to judge with any real certainty. CoS:W notes that both House Tanar'Thal and Kesra Tanar'Thal are still active in Skullport and are still major powers in the Port of Shadow.
If Lolth's Silence has had any impact on her or the power of her House, then it likely hasn't been specifically noted yet, or she's found some way to mitigate its overall impact upon her House -- which we also don't know enough about.

Well, she's still listed as being alive in the Waterdeep sourcebook. So I'm assuming that nothing major happened to her or the compound. And their house is still listed as an important power group in Skullport. |

I asked the same many months ago, in this now dead campaign I ended House Tanor'Thal control over Skullport's drows with the crumbling of their spider-shaped HQ 
Many have answered that the Skulls would have blocked any public religious war. |
