The City of Deep Webs (5e Campaign Setting)/Nairannal
Nairannal: City of Deep Webs[edit]
Deep in the treacherous depths of the Underdark, far beneath the surface of Faerûn, lies the sprawling city of Nairannal. Its name, echoing the ancient slumbering Litch dragon that once ruled the cavern, evokes both awe and fear.
This colossal city, known to its drow inhabitants as the City of Deep Webs, is a testament to their resilience and cunning. It has endured for over eight millennia, its intricate network of tunnels and chambers carved into the cavern walls like a spider's web.
Nairannal is a city of contrasts. Its grand architecture, illuminated by bioluminescent fungi, conceals a dark underbelly of treachery and intrigue. The drow who call it home navigate a web of shifting alliances and deadly rivalries, their lives governed by the cruel whims of Lolth, the Spider Queen.
Despite its dangers, Nairannal offers a haven from the even greater horrors that lurk in the Underdark. It is a place where the drow can thrive, their society built upon a foundation of ambition, cunning, and unwavering devotion to their goddess.
To outsiders, Nairannal is a place of dread, a symbol of the darkness that lies beneath the surface world. But to the drow, it is their home, a city carved from the heart of the Underdark, a testament to their survival and their unwavering will to dominate.
