The third of the ''"Great Clans"'' [[note]]the other ''"Great Clans"'' in the Council of Nine are the Sharen, the Beldrobbaen and the Sullisin'rune[[/note]] to come to power. Heavily invested in music, trade and the expansion of their supply routes. They have a mutually beneficial business relationship with the Val'Nal'sarkoth as the latter specialise in surface trade, whereas the Illhar'dro [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=635 specialise in underworld trade]]. Unlike most of the other Chelian clans, the Illhar'dro have their homebase in Nuqrah'shareh, with only a fraction of the clan actually living in Chel. Rumoured to have the largest numbers of any clan due to the fact that they are spread out across a very wide portion of the underworld, the Illhar'dro are nonetheless a peaceful clan, preferring the merchant life to that of the warrior. The Illhar'dro share power in Nuqrah'shareh with several other clans, the three most prominent being the Duskians, the Jie'yen and the Balvhakara. ([[spoiler: The latter two clans are instrumental in helping Nega'fanea regain her rule over Nuqrah'shareh after Balsii's coup.]]) The specific details about these three clans complete with individual character information can be found in Characters/DrowtalesOtherClans.
