"Then surely you have missed your time, fellow," said the first, "for Valindra is dead and her armies scattered."
"Not so, not so." argued the second. "The issue is far from settled. And although the new heroses have lived more adventures in six months than most will see in a lifetime, they have many more before them." He spurred his horse and galloped away. The call, "Many more!" echoed back as he went.

High Priestess Fini'they Vandree |
There was too much chaos among the leading houses in those times and an orderly process, as attractive as it appeared, did not fit into the schemes of Matron Baenre, who was eager to see Barrison Del'Armgo, her principle rival, get into a fight and show what it can do.
The situation did not look good, but House Vandree has a long-standing tradition of gettion into trouble and somehow finding their way back out.
The current Matron Anthiela delights in internal feuding and dangerous political ploys as much as her grand grand mother Troken'ther. So she dabbled in surface-world affairs and managed to acquire a stronghold near neverwinter.
Word has it, that she as gathered more followers there, than in Menzoberranzan!
