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 Clan as a whole
* AllThereInTheManual (the clan's history, as written by the clan's creators)
* AnimalMotifs (their clan mount appears to be some type of [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20060226c02p026.JPG yak]] called a Haledri)
* ContestWinnerCameo (a variation, in that they were created by two fans as part of a contest and then added to the series' official canon, and as a fairly major player in Chel's political scene, too)
* ElementalEyeColors (most members of the clan seem to have GreenEyes, which fits with the fact that they tend to have wood affinities)
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether (its not canon that the two clans would recognise each other, but it has now been confirmed that the Jaal'darya also once lived in Mimaneid)
* GreenThumb (the clan's [[PlanetOfHats hat]], since they're among the only people in Chel who know how to work with plants, have affinities for wood and have major ties to the surface, and because green dye is expensive and hard to get they use it as their clan's color)
* HufflepuffHouse (so far they've played this role in the main story, but they're very important in the Path To Power game)
* IntrepidMerchant (Like the Illhar'dro they have many ties to the surface and trade is their main source of income.)
* NobleFugitive (the entire clan became this after having to flee their home city of Mimaneid before they settled in Chel)
* 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)
* SelfMadeOrphan (Rel'lumia's second daughter attempted this but failed)

!! Rel'lumia Val'Nal'sarkoth
The Illharess of the Val'Nal'sarkoth clan.

* CharacterTics ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20090424c16p015.jpg Gesturing with her fan]])
* GreenThumb (As is her clan's hat.)
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

!! Ini'riia Val'Nal'sarkoth
Rel'lumia's eldest daughter and heir. She knows Kel'noz from many years ago, appearing in early chapters chronicling Ariel starting Orthobbae. She has also appeared in a Daydream story chronicling Mel'arnach's own years at Orthobbae.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow (though her hair is almost certainly dyed)
* HotMom (of Gailen)
* NewOldFlame (for Kel'noz if you take the Daydream story as canon)

!! Gailen Val'Nal'sarkoth
Ini'riia's youngest son, and a classmate of Ariel's.

* BlueEyes (perhaps inherited from his father)
* BobHaircut (how his hair is styled)
* CoolPet (his tiktikki)
* DisappearedDad (his father is from another city, though Ini'riia hopes to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=159 meet him again someday]])
* GreenThumb (like most Nal'Sarkoth)
* MulticoloredHair (his hair is mostly green, but blue near the tips)
* TheQuietOne (his first spoken line of dialog is [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=173 15 pages after his first appearance]])
* SecurityBlanket (how he seems to use his tiktikki)
* ShrinkingViolet (during introductions he [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=158 looks very nervous]] and [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=160 clutches his tiktikki]])
