Drow Elves (Dr-oh)
Originally the Sun Elves of Chūmon, the Drow Elves are a cursed people. After the failed Sun Elf Rebellion against Gal'Galed the God Emporer, their people were banished from the light of the sun as punishment. They were forced to the complex cave networks below called the Underdark, where they were sure to go extinct. Until they heard the whisper of Lolth, the Demon Queen of Spiders.
From here their culture grew around Lolths Religion and her values. They split into seperate clans, much as the Samurai of Chūmon do. Women took control of the group and over centuries warped their culture into the wicked slavers they are now.
