Welcome to Gaia! ::

Far from the light and focus of houses such as Hun'Afin, lies a small merchant house of no acclaim. Concealed by the shadows of the houses, Lil Elggus Hiran Clan has developed into a small but useful clan. They have spent their time and played their cards carefully, ensuring that they remain out of any house conflicts. They have managed to play both sides in a war that ended in the destruction of two minor houses some time ago. The clan is lead by Master Rukanyyr, a powerful necromancer in his own respect and follower of Lolth.

The clan complex proper lies partially inside a cliff with only the small entrance area actually visible to passerby. The courtyard is surrounded by rough high walls that end in metal spikes that give the appearance of fused ribs. The walls and spikes glitter with a faint trace of faerie fire, just enough to cast disturbing shadows upon the courtyard. The face of the house seemingly rises out of the cliff face in the shape of a skull, natural crystal growths have been magically accelerated to form clear windows in the skulls eyes. A massive door lurking past sharp stalactites and stalagmites that form the teeth of the macabre structure. Two ogres, a black spider made of shadows on their heads stand just outside the door of the structure proper. The house gets it's name from the skull entrance and rib walls, supposedly the fossilized bones of some massive giant from times long forgotten by the world.

As a merchant clan Elggus Hiran specializes in slaves of all kinds. From Athachs to Zombies, the slavers are some of the most talented in this corner of the World Below. They keep their fees in line with how much risk it takes to obtain a slave, any training the slave has been put through, and if the slave has any special skills. Master Rukanyyr works through a series of intermediaries to deal with common place buyers, but he personally meets with any high ranking members of any house to ensure their order is properly taken down and he has been known to actually oversee slaving orders issued by matrons.

Eilov rested upon his throne, his eyes closed but fingers twitching ever so slightly. Most would assume he was in reverie but he was not, rather his mind was focusing on his clans business and his own plots to keep his men in check and the matrons at a safe distance, that is to say very far away. Ra, Eilov's familiar and a cat comprised of other cats, sat happily upon his masters lap purring softly. The animal was the only kind the dread necromancer accepted, an undead one. Irritated by the labored breathing of the slave on the floor before him the drow raised his hand from his brow and let the spell he had been holding onto go.

A bolt of white hot lightning shot forth from his fingertips and into the surface elf, slamming square into his chest. Eilov snapped his fingers and a half-orc slave stumbled into the room, quickly removing the corpse from the sight of the clan leader. "Lesdar! Get in here!" The dry voice of the necromancer caused a scurrying in the hall outside as a slave rushed to find the vampire before Eilov lost his temper. Ra lazily got up and sat on the arm of the pale throne. The disturbing cat looked perfectly in place on the throne comprised of dozens of skeletons.

The calm and solid stride of the vampire soon echoed in the halls, slaves falling silent as to best avoid being food for the clan's second in command. The door silently opened as Lesdar stepped into the throne room, his tight simple clothes making no unnecessary noise. The ancient vampire was a predator to the very core, the only thing keeping him from Eilov's blood were the matrons. Should he slay Eilov business would be affected which would dissatisfy the matrons, and incur their wrath upon his head. Penultimate predator but still very much a drow male. The vampire bowed with proper respect to his leader, "What is it that you require Master Rukanyyr?"
