After realizing that it was Drizzt and his panther who killed his best soldiers, the gnolls, Ulgulu decides to enact vengeance upon Drizzt and at the same time cover up his nefarious activities in the region. Tephanis is an ally to a fearsome barghest whelp known as Ulgulu. Were it not for the interference of a quickling sprite called Tephanis, Drizzt may have eluded detection and the subsequent ire of the bounty hunter. In the ensuing hunt, Drizzt is forced to kill one of McGristle's dogs and maims McGristle in the process. A meeting is held that night and the villagers decide to go and look for this drow after the prompting of bounty hunter and trapper Roddy McGristle. The eldest boy, Connor Thistledown, has some knowledge of other races and recognizes Drizzt as being a dark elf. It is only when he takes his siblings with him to verify the story that he is vindicated. The ten-year-old runs away to tell the tale of his encounter with the drow - or as he says, the "drizzit" - and at first is not believed by his family.
One day, he follows the youngest Thistledown boy, Liam, and tries unsuccessfully to communicate with and befriend him. After coming to the conclusion that these humans were of good alignment, he takes it upon himself to become their secret guardian. He starts by studying the intended victims of the gnoll raid, the human Thistledown family living on their secluded farm in the village of Maldobar. It is at this point that he decides to learn more about the races living around him. With the aid of Guenhwyvar, he slays the band, but for some time after feels remorse in doing so. Being naive to the ways of the world, Drizzt doesn't know they are evil until they outline a plan to raid a local farm and kill and enslave the humans living therein. He encounters a group of gnolls who invite him to be an ally.
Alongside him sits his faithful companion, the astral panther Guenhwyvar.Īfter a disastrous run-in with a skunk one day, Drizzt decides to leave in search of a new home further down the mountainside. To the rogue drow, the sun represents his denial of the other darker world of the Underdark, especially of the city of Menzoberranzan. Drizzt Do'Urden, a forty-year-old renegade drow who has forsaken the ways of his evil people to live a better life on the surface of Faerûn, greets the dawn each morning to acclimatize himself to his new home, in spite of the great pain it causes him.
