'''Menzoberranzan''' is the 2nd most famous city of [[drow]] in the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[multiverse]] - well, technically, it's the most famous, because Menzoberranzan was invented by [[R.A. Salvatore]] for his [[Drizzt]] novels, which normies are aware of, and [[Erelhei-Cinlu]] is a [[Greyhawk]] original that was then recreated in the [[Nentir Vale]], so only actual gamers know about it, but it still was created second.

Menzoberranzan sketches what a drow city is like when the cult of [[Lolth]] [[theocracy|runs the show]]. Erelhei-Cinlu and the Vault didn't quite count since, in the [[Drow Trilogy]], we only saw it when Lolth's hold was contested (with the "Elder Elemental God"). And that city was a demon-infested slum where no decisions were made or, for that matter, enforced.

One interesting fact about Menzoberranzan: there was originally a House devoted to [[psionics]] who almost conquered the city and drove out the Lolthite priests during the [[Time of Troubles]].

Menzoberranzan (as a Realms site) got its own dedicated box set in 2e. Towards the end of the [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] era, it got a splatbook as well - again, under Toril. This went from its founding through to the then-present of 100 years post-[[Spellplague]].
