Heads on pikes

Anyone entering the Drow refugee camp this cycle can’t help but notice and smell the heads of five vilthin Darthiir’s placed on pikes lining the bridge, each with a banner of qu’ellar Dabel’kith flapping in the breeze coming up from the chasm below. The banners glow brightly with fiery fire to drawl attention to the grotesque sight.

If you stopped to ask the sargtlin at the bridge about them he might shrug and say the Dalharils of Dabel’kith came in with their patrol carrying the bodies of the darthiir’s and one by one raised them to become rothe. And one by one they were executed again after a bit of sport for the young jaluken of the camp their heads placed here to warn any other Kivvil that might dare to venture into the Under Dark.

An insane old Yathrin walks across the bridge and notices the heads. She stands there a moment dancing in circles on the edge of the chasm. Insane cackles of joy echo into the surrounding area. The elderly Yath pokes and prods the heads one by one, she appears to be murmuring and speaking to each in turn. She spends many moments cackling and speaking to each of the heads.

Upon spotting the Dabel'kith banner, he joy quickly turns to fury. She snarls loudly and storms off in search of her house weapon master.

As the Yath’tallar of Zau’Afin shuffles through the encampment in search of her house weapon master, her anger and frustration grow. When she finally finds Zeyl she begins to beat him as only an old lady can. Realizing her tiny fists are only a minor nuisance, she sets upon his ears twisting and pulling as hard as she can.

Zeyl! “She screams at him,” Why the Vith is the Zau’Afin banner naut alongside the Dabel’kith banner?
