Morgrave High: Drow
Contents
Xixi-Niza
Relationship: Great Grandmother to Xali, Dini, and Lippitu.
Going on two hundred, Xixi-Niza could pass for her mid 30's. Xali's Great Grandmother is a knowledgeable ritualist and one of the Keepers of the ancient shadow magics, as well as being a GGILF. As head of Xali's clan and a member of the Umbragen High Council, Xixi-Niza is, in many ways, the epitome of all things drow: cunning, secretive, manipulative, extremely territorial, yet outwardly pleasant and dedicated to the welfare of her children and grandchildren.
Lippitu
Relationship: Xali's second cousin
Lippitu is, at least in her own mind, Xali's rival. She also is a shadow-hunter, and has trained herself to be one of the family's leading scouts. She's also pretty, and scheming, and has a knack for passive aggression that's put her on the fast track for clan leadership. It irks her quite a bit that their great grandmother seems to like Xali better.
Dini
Relationship: Xali's second cousin
Dini is Lippitu's younger sister, and that rarest of rarities in Xendrik; a genuinely nice person. Since she's also a bit clumsy and not any good at stealth, this would normally give her a life expectancy measured in weeks, but Dini is bright and outgoing and, at an early age, Yarhad apprenticed her to be the clan's trainee record-keeper and historian, one of the few drow occupations where honesty is actually a virtue.
Xell
Relationship: fourth or fifth cousin, or something.
Xell is the youngest ritualist in Xali's family, and serves as Xixi-Niza's errand boy and, at least theoretically, apprentice. He's shy, withdrawn, young, intelligent, and a witch.
