Population
21000 mostly drow inhabitants populated the city, but a variety of races also resided and visited.

Government
The city was split into eight districts each ruled by houses, which were ruled by their matron mothers. These following districts pertain to the leaders during the time of the Ascension of Heroes.

House Xaniqos ruled by Lady Thandysha. Ruled over the Ghetto of Outcasts, the slum section.

House Aleval, ruled by Ana'Shrinarrean. Ruled over Ghetto of Performers.

House Vae, ruled by Mother Triue Ulvnay. Ruled of the Chattal, the slave district.

House Eilservs, ruled by Na' Dhaunxutal. Ruled of the Ghetto of the Dead, where many ghouls and other un-living beings resided.

House Zhiq'nah, ruled by Pharloth Waedra. Paladins of Lolth dominated this odd house without a ghetto.

Defenses
The pluratity of drow warriors came from House Despana. In total, Erelhei-Cinlu could muster up 15,000 warriors if the need arose.

Key Locations
Inns included The New Black Widow (a great place to flaunt luxuries and lose them), The Hook Inn (an affordable but clean option), and the Broken Shingle (cheap and slummy.) The Hunter's Rest was a tavern in the city as well

The city held many shrines to Lolth as well as temples honoring Vecna, Melora, and Orcus.

Ebon Libram, once one of the most extensive collections of magic tomes, scrolls, and tablets in the world, existed here, and was overseen by the sorceress Elizarea. Other locations included Poisons and Potions (self-explanatory nomenclature), the Verdict Hall, and the Ceremonial Arena.
