Foreword by Ed Greenwood
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, Matron Maelora best beware; her plans for total domination of the Underworld are close to satisfactory completion, while attacks on the Upperworld have become increasingly successful. The other power-hungry drow families of Holoth may despise her but they know a true leader when they see one, and House Gullion has been revealed as the path to glory. With the entire Underworld in chaos and the Spider Goddess regularly communing with her chosen Matron, far greater dreams than mere regional conquest are within the grasp of the drow as Maelora prepares a grand dark elf army for victory! With mystical allies in place, other Underworld races beneath her heel or cowering behind fortified walls, and every drow ready to play their part when she gives the word, it is time for the PCs to make their move against the evil Matron Maelora and her increasing dominance, but how will they go about it? Can they ensure their own success when an entire city is standing against them? It is time for them to halt the Rise of the Drow!
