Does anyone know when the transfer of power in the drow faction of Mantol-Derith passed from Yyssisiryl H'tithet to Harammamyl H'tithet?
What source is this information from?
I have found numerous places online that list Yyssisiryl as the last chief negotiator and Harammamyl as the new, but none of them detail when/how or cite a source.

Is it from the 3.5e Underdark?
quote: Underdark, page 161
Harammamyl H’tithet (CE female drow fighter 3/rogue 6): Representing the minor merchant House of H’tithet, Harammamyl is new to her job, having recently assassinated the former representative, Yyssisiryl H’tithet. She carefully conceals her natural drow contempt for everyone around her who isn’t a drow, and has discovered that faking a little warmth goes a long way toward making a deal. Harammamyl is in much the same situation as the svirfneblin Kassawar, in that Gracklstugh’s war against Menzoberranzan has cut off trade to the City of Spiders, leaving her with little to offer.
I think Underdark is set somewhere abouts 1374-75. |

I'll go check.
Edit: Ack, you're right. I don't know how I missed that. Does anyone know if there is a story anywhere about that particular power play?
So, this means that by Shieldmeet 1372, Harammamyl had taken over? Or is there another date after which the 3.5 FR materials should be considered to have taken place? |

There's also some info on her in the Tomb of Drow, but I've not got it with me, so I can't say exactly what. |

Are you talking about the 3rd party book "The Tome of Drow Lore"? I did a quick pdf search and didn't find anything in that. I suspect you may be referring to another book, but when I googled "Tomb of Drow," I got 4 hits, none of which seemed related. Google suggested The Tome of Drow as an alternative, which is why I bring it up. |

I mis-spelled, and if you didn't see it, then I'm probably wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, nor the last. I'll look around when I get the chance, again sorry for the goose chase. |

No worries! I just did a quick scan anyway. I'll take a closer look to be sure. |
