House Tor’Qar crushes the Ildorno.
Before the end, hundreds of drow and hundreds more of their savage mercenaries were killed. The nobles might have destroyed themselves entirely had not the Queen of the Spiders intervened, though the cost was great to both Lolth and the noble houses. The price she exacted from her most devoted house was even greater—Zauviir was exterminated.
In the wake of this departure came the revelation that Lolth had accepted the repentance of her most wayward disciple: Allevrah, mistress of house Ildorno. The Ildorno were restored to their former holdings, if not their former position of leadership; and Allevrah herself, that most resourceful of adventurers, became Lolth’s Chosen.
Lest the dynamic rivalry of the houses again become unbalanced, an eighth noble family was introduced: the Vae.
A family of landless nobles from a lost city beneath the Vast, the Vae had long worked as slave-traders travelling with their attendant merchant clans, from whom they were indistinguishable, save for their house emblems. House Vae was granted the properties of the exterminated Zauviir and charged with the task of restoring the drow to prosperity. Though they and their merchant followers were worshipers of the goddess Kiaransalee, the traditions of their cult allowed them to give deference to the Queen of the Spiders, and so the Vae were found acceptable to Lolth and her priestesses.
Lolth took living sacrifices from the six warring houses before departing Kalan-G’eld, so that none should go unpunished.
Her high priestess put the chief consort of house Hlaneld through the Test of Sacrifice, one of her many punishments, transforming him into a hideous spiderleg horror. The drow nobles were then free to set about repairing their estates and nurturing new rivalries under the watchful eye of the Fane.
The city's Archmage Maethel Zauviir who organized the coup is sacrified to Lolth.

The great dwarven smith Durgeddin the Black was driven from his home by a horde of fierce orcs and trolls. They plundered his ancestral halls and slew all they could catch. Fleeing his enemies, Durgeddin led the destitute remnats of his clan in search of a new home.
After years of wandering, the dwarves discovered a great cavern system beneath Gryphon Caverns, which is a rugged, forested hill crowned by a bare rocky crag. There Durgeddin and his followers founded the secret stronghold of Khundrukar – the Glitterhammer.

After several months of silence, the caverns exploded. Szordrin Zau’Tar Pass was cut off by a large force of orcs.
Goblins, sneaking down the Red River, swarmed into the Cavern,quickly fording the river with portable bridges. They were well prepared, and executed a good plan.
The creatures sneaking around the crevasse, they were first spotted as they approached the new city. An alarm was raised, and quickly the bridge to Old City was raised, assuring its survival and the new city's destruction.
It took two months to drive the creatures from the Cavern. A combination of counter attacks from Old City and the arrival of the Hellknights of Loth, but what actually ended the siege was the mass pull out of the invading forces. One night they just left, with no treaty, no surrender, indeed, no explanation at all. The new city was rebuilt, and named the Mining District.

An exploration dig in the Sundered Caverns south of Kalan-G’eld uncorered large quantity of adamantine only found in small quantities before. The rush began.
Tales reached around the Underdark and soon prospectors flooded into the Cavern.
Old City grew quickly, and soon filled to dangerous numbers. Fearing a take over by the mob descending upon Kalan-G’eld, the authorities declared the entire Cavern and surrounding caverns property of Kalan-G’eld.
Kalan-G’eld is in a very defensible location.
One pass only leads to the interior of the cave, weaving its way through the Sundered Caverns. A few others lead up into the caverns, but don't cross. There is no way to move a large force through these passes.
The Kalan-G’eld Regulars became a standing army, supported by new taxes. Most of the initial company of soldiers retained their high-ranking posts. Commander Seldzar was given the position of Commander of all Kalan-G’eld Forces, with orders to protect Old City and the Heights at all costs. His first assignment was to seal off Old City to immigrants. A new district was designed off the same basic plan, just to the south of Old City and across the crevasse.
Goblinoid War
The Goblinoid War came as a complete surprise to the people of Kalan-G’eld. Of course, threats from cavern denizens existed from the earliest discovery of the Cavern. Most of these monstrous incursions (involving goblins, orcs, and the like) were sporadic and uncoordinated; easily rebuffed. Simple precautions, like highly visible caravan guards, were enough to keep most of the problems at bay.

Sticking out from the broken land, a finger of pure obsidian pointed toward the sky of the cavern. Szordrin Zau’Tar and his group approached the structure as soon as they entered the cavern. The entire company felt a sense of dread as they neared the black tower. Pack animals started to kick and go mad once within a hundred feet.
No one, however, reacted the way Szordrin Zau’Tar did. His senses were bombarded with an otherworldly attack that caused him to recoil. While others could approach close to the Tower, Szordrin Zau’Tar could not get within 100 feet without feeling his head would explode. He believed it was his spellcasting ability that drew the power against him, but a wizard in the group never felt what he, a sorcerer, did. Because of his feelings of dread, Szordrin Zau’Tar ordered his followers to stay clear of the Tower. Shinzâr Jhereg, defied the order. Sneaking out under cover, Shinzâr was last seen by his servant moving toward the Tower. When he could not be found the next day, Szordrin Zau’Tar sent a small expedition closer to examine the structure. The Tower was a completely featureless black obelisk. There was no sign of Shinzâr, who was never seen again. But, from that day a golden halo ascent from the tower to the top. This marks the day and night of Kalan-G’eld. Szordrin Zau’Tar turned from the Tower and would never return to it again. He never spoke of his experience with a living soul.

After Chael-Rekshaar war with the Orcs of the Stonemarch, Szordrin Zau’Tar “sailed” north, intent on uncovering some secrets of the region.

The text hinted at a cavern of gold and magic that lay just on the Lower Underdark, as well as an ocean west of the caverns, previously untouched.
With funds running low, Szordrin Zau’Tar returned to Chael-Rekshaar again, determined to return in force.
Once again in Chael-Rekshaar, Szordrin Zau’Tar solicited funding to his house for his next adventure. He gathered the greatest scouts money could rent and set off again four years later for his fourth visit to the ancient land. He had a feeling that this would be the trip to make him famous.
He followed the directions of the scrolls through a secret pass, now known as Szordrin Zau’Tar Pass, and came upon the remains of Sem La Vah.
