Drow

The Drow, sometimes called Dark Elves, are a subspecies of Elves that commonly live in the Underdark. Because of their subterranean lifestyle they have an aversion to sunlight, with many of them never visiting the surface.
Most Drow that live in the Underdark live in Theocratic and Matriarchal societies, worshipping the deity Lolth, the Spider Queen and the patron God of the Drow. These societies see the female form as closer to the image of Lolth and therefore superior. Because of this male Drow are almost always subservient to a woman and are barred from high society, especially from leadership of religious duty.
