Filion'lyr

Filion'lyr

Filion'lyr was founded by drow colonists that came to Bal-Kriav from its parallel world Kriav. The drow came to Sygning by way of a Feydark Fissure. This fissure, a road between worlds, lies in a secure area of the city that grew up around it.

Filion'lyr is sited on a cavern ridge a hundred or so feet above the Vuzlyn river. A thousand yards northwest of the city is a tunnel through which this river flows. It spills out of this tunnel, plunging into a great falls that is illuminated in a rainbow of colors. These lights are from drow that use magic as a form of art. The Filion'lyr-Hlat'tar Tunnel was made in the city's last war with Hlat'tar's aboleth. The tunnel drained the lake that once covered much of Hlat'tar and brought an end to two aboleth city-states. This ended a period of three centuries during which the people of Filion'lyr were constantly under threat of aboleth attack or their conniving machinations.
