Auzkovyn Clan

''Note: there is currently no known Wikipedia entry for this organization. The following information is from a WikiDnD point of view and information may differ from the base Forgotten Realms campaign settings.''

For centuries the Auzkovyn Clan wandered in the uppermost reaches of the Underdark and eventually took up residence on the surface in The High Forest, the great woodland located in The North below the Silver Marches. After endless warring with the wood elves of the High Forest the Clan's numbers were suffering greatly so the High Forest drow (as they became known) created a portal that led to Cormanthor - specifically into the Underdark directly below the Abbey of the Sword. Although the Batteldarrans were able to defeat the invading drow and destroy the portal, the High Forest drow quickly made another to join their vanguard in the forest north of Batteldale.

Unlike other drow factions, the Auzkovyn Clan prefer being woodland nomads. At various times they range in large or small groups over nearly the whole of Cormanthor, setting up temporary camps on the ground, in the tree tops and sometimes in cave entrances to the Underdark. Most Auzkovyn drow offer sacrifices to Vhaeraun, even if not all worship him as their patron deity. They are also willing to accept other Vhaeraun worshiping members of other races into their clan, which in the long run may prove advantageous.

Because they have no interest in occupying a specific territory, the Auzkovyn Clan gets along fairly well with House of Jaelre. Of course, for evil drow factions, 'getting along well' means they don't slit each others throats after they've hit each other with sleep-inducing arrows.
