Simple Staff has been disambiguated


* SimpleStaff: Carries a staff around with her. This is said by WordOfGod to be seen as redundant in Chel and Nuqrah'shareh, but this might be a remnant of her roots back in Mimaneid; said to be a very traditional minded city which still considers duels to be a appropriate way of determining strength.

The Nal'sarkoth are originally from another underground city called Mimaneid, which is why they appear somewhat darker than standard Chelians, as well as seeming to have shorter ears than other drow. In some ways a rival to the Val'Illhar'dro as both clans hold a monopoly on trade, but they also work together for their mutual benefit and are on friendly terms with each other. It also helps that their trade links are mutually co-operative, the Illhar'dro mostly focus on underworld contacts and expansion, whereas the Nal'Sarkoth specialise in overworld trade and settlements as explained by the writers in the [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=825 Nal'Sarkoth clan podcast]].

* ColorMotif: Lots and lots of green, which represents fertility and abundance, a fitting color for a clan of merchants. Appropriately, they have an affinity for wood and plants.



* OddCouple: Their house is made up of various races not just drow. This is due to a need to bulk up their numbers and the fact that their trading covers a vast network area. Some dwarves and even halmes head minor sub-houses but when entering Chel are almost always accompanied by a drow.
* ProperlyParanoid: They designed their home in Chel so that an attack like the one that drove them out of Mimaneid couldn't happen again, and they actively cultivate positive relationships with other clans to avoid the jealousy and discontent that caused it.

* BabyFactory: He is a gender-inverted form of this trope.trope; he was constantly starved and kept malnourished because he was only seen as breeding stock for Nidraa'chal females. This is why he's so tiny and feminine-looking.

* LaserGuidedKarma: She and the Ys council kick the Sarghress out of town in Chapter 45, telling them to "fuck right off" for not knowing who Snadhya'rune is or what her goals are. [[spoiler:Some chapters later, Ys is held under siege by the Sarghress-Kavahini alliance, with the entire council subdued and taken prisoner]].

An Ys council member and Nal'sarkoth representative. [[spoiler: She is also a Nidraa'chal agent]]. She appears in Chapter 45, informing the Tur'geis' squad that they are no longer welcome in Ys.

Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In Chapter 45, she banishes a Sarghress squad from Ys. The squad threatens that the Sarghress clan will overrun Ys in the future, which Kane'ohe [[UnderestimatingBadassery dismisses as an empty threat]]. Several years later in Chapter 54, the Sarghress leadership itself takes over Ys after negotiations fail, thanks to Kane'ohe attempting to strike a one-sided deal that favors Snadhya'rune.
* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler:She secretly ensures that the drowo'lath surface colonies remain subservient to Felde and, in turn, Snadhya'rune. The Sarghress clan's takeover of Ys is their first step to unite the colonies against Felde.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnderestimatingBadassery: In both her appearances, she fails to see the Sarghress clan as a serious threat, which eventually leads to her downfall in Chapter 54. [[spoiler:This is partly because Kane'ohe is confident that Snadhya'rune and the Nidraa'chal will protect her from any repercussions.]]

And yet, she was the only great clan leader to be killed during the event since [[spoiler:said guards took advantage of it to betray her instead]].

* PragmaticVillainy: Her alliance with Snadhya'rune is purely for practical reasons. Snad controls a good deal of the trade among the drowolath settlements so Viri'sylvia considers an alliance with her to be both logical and profitable.
