Leomund ' s secure shelter Leomund ' s secure shelter is a conjuration spell that creates a sturdy cottage . It was presumably developed by Leomund . To Zakhara n mages , always reluctant to acknowledge ajami names and accomplishments , the spell was known simply as secure shelter , and counted among the spells of the universal province . Effect . You conjure a sturdy cottage or lodge made of material that is common in the area where the spell is cast - stone , timber , or ( at worst ) sod . The floor is level , clean , and dry . In all respects the lodging resembles a normal cottage , with a sturdy door , two shuttered windows , and a small fireplace . The shelter has no heating or cooling source ( other than natural insulation qualities ) . Therefore , it must be heated as a normal dwelling , and extreme heat adversely affects it and its occupants . The dwelling does , however , provide considerable security otherwise - it is as strong as a normal stone building , regardless of its actual material composition . The dwelling resists flames and fire as if it were stone . It is impervious to normal missiles ( but not the sort cast by siege machinery or giant s ) . The door , shutters , and even chimney are secure against intrusion , the former two being " arcane lock ed " and the latter secured by an iron grate at the top and a narrow flue . In addition , these three areas are protected by an " alarm " spell . Finally , an unseen servant is conjured to provide service to you for the duration of the shelter . The " secure shelter " contains crude furnishings - eight bunks , a trestle table , eight stools , and a writing desk . Material components . A square chip of stone , crushed lime , a few grains of sand , a sprinkling of water , and several splinters of wood . These must be augmented by the components of the " alarm " spell ( string and a bit of wood ) and the focus of the " alarm " spell ( silver wire and a tiny bell ) if these benefits are to be included .

Bow of the Black Archer The Bow of the Black Archer was the weapon of the elven deity Shevarash until he was captured and slain by the drow . Description . Apart from the fact that the bow was as black as pitch , it was completely unremarkable in terms of looks . When it was wielded however , the bow intermittently whispered softly in elven to the wielder about grief and loss . If a drow came within 60 feet ( 20 meters ) of the wielder , its whispers became angry and much more regular , talking about having revenge on all drow . History . Three hundred years after Shevarash was executed , an elven ranger named Valaderion decided he would recover the lost bow from the drow . He killed every dark elf he came across , always striking from the constant darkness of the Underdark so that he was never detected . He recovered the bow and made his way back to the surface . Along the way though , he met with a female drow exile named Kiralasha and was forced to work with her to kill a nest of beholder s that blocked both of their paths . He used the bow to devastating effect and , as a result , both survived the encounter . They grew to respect each other , then admire each other and soon they fell in love . Valaderion was torn , however , on whether to choose his god , the enemy of " all " drow , or to follow his heart and settle with his new love . He decided to ponder his choices and in the meantime he donated the bow to the nearest temple of Shevarash . As soon as he crossed the threshold of the temple , however , he was struck down for consorting with one of his god ' s enemies . The bow was sent to Shevarash ' s largest temple , which soon became a site of pilgrimage to many of his followers . Around seven centuries later , the drow started attacking the surrounding region . The temple ' s high priestess , Salariel , took up the weapon and led her clergy to victory , though she herself was slain by a conjured spider - demon and the bow was once again lost to the drow . Later , a dwarf named Khofar took it upon himself to avenge his clan , who had been wiped out by the descendants of that drow army . He single - handedly slew every drow residing in a small , isolated enclave in a fit of grief - induced rage and discovered the bow amongst the fallen . He took it and used it to wage a one - dwarf war against the local dark elves but the whispers of the bow , in addition to his lingering grief drove him mad . He perceived anyone he came across as a drow in disguise and attacked them . This course of action was bound to mean that eventually the bow would end up in another ' s hands .
Night of Wailing The Night of Wailing was the name given to the night during which Nexal was destroyed and many of the inhabitants turned into monsters .

The sacrifice of his priest infuriated Helm and he clashed with Zaltec , which resulted in the explosion of Mount Zatal , which overlooked the city . The eruption of Mount Zatal toppled many of the buildings in Nexal , including some of the pyramids , and caused much of the city to sink back into the lakes on which it was built . Lolth took advantage of the chaos and cursed Nexal ' s warriors , turning them into orc s , ogre s , and troll s . As punishment for their lack of faith , she turned the Ancient Ones from drow into drider s . The few Nexalans who survived the disaster fled the city and it was left in ruins .

The drow are infamous for the death that infests their society , murdering to get to the top or even to keep the position they hold . Feared and hated , the drow are well - known as slavers and servants of Lolth and her demon ic servitors . However , the cruelty does not end with divine and arcane power and for the ambitious there is a path to power through skill with a blade and among the deadliest warriors of drow society are the so - called dread fangs .

Realizing the shallow depths of drow cruelty and Lolth ' s commands , these dread fangs abandon their role in society to become estranged wanderers . Their careers requiring a degree of emotional detachment , few dread fangs so exiled regret their passing from drow society , instead plowing onwards to become incarnations of death whose skills exceed the potential of most .

Early initiates of the path combine these two qualities to perform deadly sneak attacks , striking more lethal blows and capable of performing these attacks more often .

" Venomous sting " is more advanced , but is also more deadly , infecting a dread fang ' s foe with deadly poison .
