The Ascend

The Conflict

Prelude

Out of the ragtag group of the first Drow‌(numbering about couple thousands or so at the time) arose one with magic more powerful than any other, some claim he was the first Drow, some claim he just got lucky, some even claim that he had a backing of a another god that was against . Whatever the reason Netarr‌ possessed great arcane power and he rose above the rest of the Drow as their leader and enticed their long ascend to the surface.
‌

Deployment

For the next couple thousand years the Draw dug their way up and up and up, out and to the sunny surface of Eslar, hundreds of holes where burrowed out throughout Eslar. The first holes appearing around Bermu early in 4250 PE. All the while the surface Elves lived their peaceful and thriving lives coddled by the Two Goddesses. Until one day it all came crashing down as waves of Drow poured onto the surface.
‌

Battlefield

The first wave consistent of weak and exhausted Drow, not prepared for the bright sunlight outside for they lived their entire lives in the dark. They were unprepared for the strong Elves that lived under the eye of their creators. The first wave was fairly easily overcome and the Drow were sent fleeing into The Underdark.
‌ Soon after them came the stronger Drow, led by Netarr himself. Strong, immortal, and powered by the plentiful magic of Eslar they held the upper hand despite the Sun Sickness‌. For seven days they rummaged The Well of Life‌, for seven days they killed indiscriminately, until finally interfered and banished the Drow back into The Underdark. And so they ran, covering the entrances on their way back down.

Outcome

The Drow are forced back into The Underdark for another two centuries.

Aftermath

Long term animosity between Elves and Drow emerges.
