Well, thanks for the replies.
The way the city was referred to in the WotSQ V novel made me believe it was a drow city. (Why would a drow want to go to a city of mindflayers?)

Zanan,
What is the page number (softcover or hardcover) for the references to Llacerellyn in WotSQ V?
Thanks,

I am in the process of re-reading the book right now (to be right up to date with the story when No. VI arrives), but it is the German version. I'll try to specify the chapter and storyline once I am there, but it could well have been a problem of translation.

Well ... having reached Chapter 8 now, I think my memory deceived me somewhat  .
Danifae talks to her old House wizard and speaks about a ring which brought her and the Matron back from Llacerylln to Eryndlyn. If that is the mentioning of Llacerellyn that I had in mind, I have to confess that the book leaves it quite open what sort of city it is. So probably my bad ... and I am sorry for any confusion. |

Edit: sometimes Tymora even smiles on ... well, my memory didn't deceive me after all, the passage that I referred to was/is in Extinction though.
p.171 (paperback), Pharaun asks Danifae:
"So the question remains, if not Eryndlyn - and certainly not Ched Nasad - where would you like to go? Llacerellyn? Sschindylryn?"
The sequence of drow cities before and after Llacerellyn made me believe the latter is a drow city too. |

Old thread, but for completeness in case of referencing:
Ultoksurllur
Catacombs under the present day city of Zazesspur were once part of the city Ultoksurllur inhabited by Clan Ghalmrin. The city served as the nominal capital of the Seastar Kingdom (Shanatar subkingdom of Sondarr). (as per DDUGttU) |

Arise! Mwuhahahha!! ARISE!!!!!
*Ahem*
While researching something else completely, I discovered another fallen deep gnome city. I figured I'd post it, both for completeness and because I think this is a great thread that newcomers should see. Anyway, it's Aventine, a deep gnome city somewhere in the vicinity of Dambrath. It was destroyed by a joint drow/Shebali army somewhere around 1050 DR. That's an estimate, since the attack was launched some time during the reign of Queen Melanith. No other information is given, aside from the fact that essentially all of the humans were killed by the gnomes, and there were very few drow/Crintri deaths. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

If I remember well ( ) :
An alliance of the human nation of Dambrath and the drow city T'lindhet destroyed this city of the deep gnomes during the reign of Melanith, queen of Dambrath and high priestess of Loviatar
N.B. : I believe we now only call them crinties and no more crintries. They were just called crintries in the Dragon Annual #4 and the 1st Shinig South sourcebook.
Since these books, the 2nd Shining South sourcebook, the Councelors and Kings trilogy and the very short History of the crinties (Thank you so very much Elaine ), and the others call them crinties |

That's good to hear. Actually, I had always thought it was (and pronounced it to myself) "crinti," and I was both surprised and somewhat ashamed to discover that the book called them "crintri" and, by extension, that I'd been mis-pronouncing it all these years. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't dreaming that the second "r" got dropped at some point, since I think "crinti" sounds better than "crintri."
However, crinti is both singular and plural. So no crintis or, worse, crinties. |

| It's ok. 3e seemed to have an obsession with sticking s's onto everything, even when they were flat-out wrong. "Phaerimms" and "sharns" are the two most annoying for me, but there are plenty of others. |

Now that I'm cogitating on this, I don't believe Alaundo ever uploaded it to the site.
As it is, the compilation should be among the section on "Various Unofficial Lore," of the TRAVELER's NOTEBOOKS sub-section. But it's nowhere to be found. Curious.
I'll notify Alaundo and try to determine where the article ended up, Mumadar.

| How delightful. As dejected as I was to hear of TSD's delay, this improves my spirits, if only for a short time. Many thanks, Procrastinator Most High. I am amazed by how much this site has to offer. Even after being here for a time, I can be unaware of gems like this. |

Ultoksurllur (Under the Starspire Mountains) -- Hmm probably shield dwarves or deep gnomes / mentioned in Lands of Intrigue, but I'm not really remembering
Also, not on the maps, is the drow city of Kiaransalee worshipers found under the Galenas and discussed in Demihuman Deities, in the write-up of Kiaransalee
--Eric
Finally found something on Glanderultok (cross-posted from my scroll):
I found an old file that indicates Glanderultok is a duergar city where they worship Laduguer. No reference as to why I thought it needed to be referenced. The art order for the map (referencing 2e maps of Faerun of the day) calls for "Place Glanderultok deep beneath the mountain valley due north of the northern end of the Border Forest."
If I had to guess, I would say there's probably a reference in one of Ed's old Everwinking Eye columns in Polyhedron to duergar and this was my attempt to create a city they could come from. That's all I can find though. I wasn't as good about referencing everything with a comment in my write-ups way back then.

i'll butcher the spelling but the kiaransalee city under the galenas was something close to V'eldrinnsshaar
it was described in detail in the Lady Penitent trilogy |

I have Eric's notes from when he was writing DDGttU. I'll check tonight and see if I can find where the reference to "Llacerellyn" come from.
Checking back through the thread, it appears that it is mentioned in the novel "Extinction", but I know that there is a gaming product reference out there somewhere.

Deep Gnome Cities
