A group of drow stumble upon a crypt in black rock as the upperdark was being cleared out . The group sends one drow into the crypt to investigate. Once inside the group can here terrible explosions and there scout never returns . The remaining group immediately sends word back to the coven of darkness of what they have found .
That same cycle another group of mages and clergy show up and enter the crypt . The second group are reconizable as older citizens of sshamath and members of the coven of darkness. The group begins cleansing the crypt of its inhabitants when they come across a ancient and powerful lich. The group attempts to communicate with the being and it immediately attacks them with powerful and sinister magic . The mage and clergy immediately respond to the attack with devastating power destroying the lich.the group can be seen scouring the crypt when one of the mages speaks to the others "my brothers and sisters this will work as the basement to our new Castle get the smith's here with haste and construction can begin ".
The finest smith's and masons from Sshamath can be seen being collected around town and rushed to black rock under the Coven protection . Many wagons are headed there as well ,observers can see a very large castle being made on top on some ancient ruins . Across the chasm a giant ice keep resides it's front door facing the new front gate of the coven of darkness castle .
A very large regal looking priestess of lloth touches the necromancers shoulder "my brother we are claiming this land that surrounds our new keep for ours set up defensive perimeters and start making patrols of this area personally kill all that oppose us here". A wide evil grin spreads across the necromancer with a white top hat on known as Padreil.
Regular patrols start to take place around blackrock and part of rockrun ,coven forces fill the tunnels of blackrock and rockrun making it very clear that this area is occupied by the coven of darkness and any that wish to make claim of this area are in for a big war .
Regular patrols of blackrock and rockrun are seen happening each cycle . The Coven of Darkness makes it quite known that part of this territory is there land, though none in the settlements seem to believe as much or take such notions seriously as long as the Coven patrols do not bother them, despite boisterous Coven statements that visitors are warmly and oddly welcome but absolutely must behave or they suffer the full wrath of the coven . Wagons with Thayan markings among others are noticed heading there often .
Many drow are seen marching from the coven of darkness castle led by one in a white top hat he is seen speaking with another "Radoseth you will be a perfect instrument for this raid my new brother " as he pats the warrior on his shoulder . The group then departs into the wilds of the underdark tunnels . Other folks from around the tunnels join the group of drow and are observed leaving rockrun .
