Juran'xundessa was the crowning settlement of drow history, standing as the restoration of the dark elves to their ancestral homeland before the Descent. With the lands now much reshaped by the destruction of Qi'sztovir, these homelands now stood at the foot of the Charu highlands, a highly defensible position from nearly all sides as it had not been previously. Given this, the withdrawal of the elves, and the still young settlements of other races, none could gather sufficient force to bypass their magical wards and cast the surface dwelling drow back down below.

The city was said to be impossibly beautiful to look upon, delicate and yet terribly cold and unwelcoming. Great stone spires rose to the skies above, while spans leapt from tower to tower, so fragile they should collapse save for their magical reinforcements.

The city crumbled to the earth, leaving the ruins of present day, and those drow that remained were stalked and hunted back into the underdark by the elves of the surface.
