Equipment

Matron Mother Berni'th Duskryn has a number of magical instruments in which she can inflict pain to her enemies, most notably is her 6 headed snake headed whip, which if a saving throw vs paralyzation is failed, paralyzes the person for a total of 5 rounds. Her other most notable weapon is a dagger+3 which acts as a sword of wounding. She wears an elegant robe which acts as a robe of protection+4, and she also has a ring of protection+2 on one of her fingers. These two items are all the "armor" that she needs for protection. She also wears a ring of human control on the other finger, for when House Duskryn, must deal with those few non-drow who reside within the caverns of Menzoberranzan. Her house insignia is perhaps one of the most powerful belonging to all the nobles of House Duskryn, except for Sorn's and perhaps Krenaste's aswell. Dispite her power, besides these items, Berni'th rarely uses any others, for she relies on the powers of Lloth more to save her if needed.


Background

Berni'th became the Matron of House Duskryn, after she had successfully killed her mother, the former Matron. Berni'th waited patiently for a total of around 500 years before she was able to take control of the house, and has kept the leadership of it for the past 500 years since her reign began. Berni'th has always wanted to be rid of Sorn, but she has not because she fears him slightly, plus for some reason, he is immune to the will of Lloth, (no one knows of Sorn's involvement with Vhaeraun), and her follower's powers. Therefore Berni'th has kept Sorn around, because despite his heresy ways, he is very useful to the house's survival, for he has killed a number of enemies that were either against, or in the way of House Duskryn's way of advancement.


Motivation

Berni'th can be considered a rather undevoted follower of Lloth. Even though she maintains loyalty to the Spider Queen, she cares more about her house's survial and advancement. She is a crafty and intelligent drow, for she knows of her daughter Talice's plans and thoughts and is preparing for the day in which she will kill her daughter if neccessary.
