The City of Deep Webs (5e Campaign Setting)/Goverment

Government

The city of Nairannal is governed by the twelve noble houses, with six sitting on a ruling council, composed of the matron mothers of the first (and most powerful) six houses. Although Drow culture is matriarchal, a few male Drow in the city held some political power, including the Archmage of the city, and the leader of the Assassin’s guild, Death Spiders, which is often utilized by the most powerful Houses.
