War of Words

The War of Words refers to a civil war fought between the forces of the Underdark and the Visigs that were making an exodus from the Underdark.
== Background ==
The War of Words was initiated by Dame Miz'ri Ansaldo's attempted exodus with her legion of followers, referred to as the Visigs (unified ones). The Visigs were attempting to leave the Underdark for good and bask in the light of Dame Miz'ri's enlightenment due to the actions of The Silver Maid.
In response to her growing numbers and attempts to establish a new city at the mouth of the Underdark's exit, Drow forces moved in on the camp to make examples and slaves of the Visigs. During this initial attack, Dame Miz'ri was gifted Valor Dance by The Silver Maid.
With her Mantle of Championing beginning, tens of thousands of Underdark inhabitants began to join forces with Dame Miz'ri and the War of Words broke out.
== Conclusion ==
With the destruction of Menzoberranzan, the final stronghold of the Underdark would be Zi'Viynzana. The negotiating table was brought out and a ceasing of hostilities was declared between the Underdarkers and the Visigs.
Since the end of the war, the Visig Dominion has seen an increase in immigration from Underdarkers. Those who hold traditionalist values, and harken back to the old days of Menzoberranzan are often called 'Dwellers'.
