Drow Elf Species in Forgotten Realms | World Anvil

Drow Elf

As a drow, you are infused with the magic of the Underdark, an underground realm of wonders and horrors rarely seen on the surface above. You are at home in shadows and, thanks to your innate magic, learn to conjure forth both light and darkness. Your kin tend to have stark white hair and grayish skin of many hues.   The cult of the god Lolth, Queen of Spiders, has corrupted some of the oldest drow cities, especially in the worlds of Oerth and Toril. Wherever the cult lurks, drow heroes stand on the front lines in the war against it, seeking to sunder Lolth's web.
