Erehel-Sinu was a city in the underworld of Kazrrad, in southeastern Aels, located under the Unholy Mountain of Hortann. Founded circa the 11.700 Before the apparition of humanity, it was one of the eldest Drow cities, and for long time was one of the larger and more powerful drow civilizations, being the hegemonic drow power from the 4.000 b.a.H until the 1.000 a.a.H. however their hegemony in the underworld of Kazrrad slowly declined, until the descendants of one of their colonies, Negeémiliel, forced them to become an allied/vassal state to their own empire.
Affected by The Cataclysm, the city will be largely destroyed and later abandoned.
An inhabitant of Erehel-Sinu was called an Erehel, as was their language.
It was one of the Thirteen Drow Cities.
