It's name has been stricken from the records of Menzoberranzan, the house destroyed in a failed attempt to eradicate the Do'Ana for interfering with their more sensitive work. According to the oldest known laws ruling in Menzoberranzan, their warfare was exposed publicly, and set upon by the other houses in Menzoberranzan to loot and plunder it's secrets, members and treasures. The event which triggered their downfall was too chaotic for the destruction to be clean, and some core members still secretly keep their House name, vowing to eradicate the Do'Ana from memory itself, and restore their house once again.
