Sadly Shadowlord, I could find no more information on the city of Chaulssin (both past and present)  . I remember that I spoke of trying to find more information when you told me about your story the first time.
Did you by chance find anything more...?

| Hmmm, I'm afraid I dont want to ruin the suprise Sage. If I name my sources, a brilliant mind such as yours may be able to tell what my story will be about! No, I think its safest if we all wait patiently....... |

Ah...say no more then, for I will ask for no more information on your story...
You've piqued my curiosity though, and for that I thank you...

| I assure you Sage that it is not from Calimshan, during my life in the fair city of Calimport I have never encountered this beverage, it must be something those savages north of the River Chionthar likes to drink. Shouldn't be better tasting than the common orc brew I say! |
A wise man from Calimport once told me: "If a merchant puts sand in the flask of oil he's trying to sell you, then he isn't trying to sell you sand..." |

| No, I suppose it tastes no better than the common orc beverage, "gluk". Anyway, I am sorry for the delay, but I had to attend the Masked Lord's Embrace, the holy day of the followers of Vhaeraun. My story shall be posted without further ado. |

Well, heres my story, nowhere near finished as of yet, but careful observers will not that this very story was already posted in the Candlekeep Inn at an earlier time. Any and all comments would be appretiated after you finish reading my story.
About 3 millenia ago, before you were even in existence, I was known as Tsabrak Teken'ghym, Weapons Master and Patriarch of First House Teken'ghym in Chaulssin, the City of Wyrmshadows, though it was not called that till about 2 millenia ago..... Unlike many cities of drow, Chaulssin exclusively followed Vhaeraun, The Masked Lord. As such, we did not have the matriarchal views that dominate so much of the dark elven history. I was accorded to be the Patron Father, and Weapons Master, of the First House of Chaulssin, House Teken'ghym, taken from my surname, Tsabrak Teken'ghym. We were the one city that the Spider Queen's stranglehold did not extend to. Free of her influence, we cast many darkness spells and shadow magic was the norm. However, such darkness attracts even darker creatures, as we soon learned the hard way. About one thousand years later, a horde of Shadowdragons lay seige to Chaulssin, and the combined power of our shadow magic and the inherent darkness of the dragons served to draw parts of our city into the Demiplane of Shadow. House Teken'ghym was the center of one such rift..... and I was transported to the Demiplane of Shadow. From there, using my shadowdancer abilities, which were greatly magnified on the Shadow Plane, I made my way to Carceri, in the Demonweb Pits, home of my lord Vhaeraun. There I met with his avatar. He told me that by using my shadowdancer abilities on the Demiplane, I had absorbed the essence of shadow and had become a shade. I am ageless, immune to the ravages of time, poison, and disease. Where even you shall fade, I shall linger on, unless I am killed, of course. Vhaeraun's might returned me to Chaulssin, where I was able to drive off a few of the shadowdragons. My House and Home decimated, I moved on to the City of Menzoberranzan, and have been taking up residence there ever since. It was there that I gained the name Shadowlord, so deadly were my assassination skills. And so I waited, and will continue to wait for the day when Vhaeraun can regain his former glory, and Lolth will topple into oblivion.
I hope this has satisfied you.... |

| Some of them are still on the demiplane of shadow. I know not what has happened to them. Most died from the initial shadow dragon siege. my city is only partially in the plane of shadows, and we still hold meeting there, trying to find a way to break the stranglehold of Lolth. I would gladly repeat a dozen Chaulssins across the realms if it would mean Lolth's destruction. |

| I have a new and revised copy of this story, similar to Bookwyrm's in that it seems more like a novel. I shall post it shortly. It features Tsabrak Teken'ghym, the Shadowlord, and begins when he worshipped... dare I say it... Kiaransalee! Well, there's a tidbit I suppose no one guessed. As I said, I'll see about posting the story in full later on. |

Kiaransalee . . . 
Hmmmn, that makes 'Shadowlord's' story even more intriguing . . . er, Shadowlord  .
Tell me, does this occur before the Orcus/Manzzecorian conflict Kiaransalee was eventually to find herself involved in?.
