Drow
"Outlive your superiors and the world is yours" - Drow proverb
Basic Information
Anatomy
Most Drow are slender, some to the point of appearing gaunt, especially in their facial features. Their skin ranges from obsidian to deep purple hues and their hair is nearly universally white. Most drow have red or white eyes, although violet is not unheard of.
Civilization and Culture
Gender Ideals
Female drow rule over males with impunity--males are only slightly above slaves in the social hierarchy. There have been attempts to reform, especially by young radicals, but none have seemed to ever really take effect ion the long term.
History
Stories told by the Wood Elves and Eladrin say that the Drow abandoned their people and chose to follow Lolth into the Underdark, forever turning their back on their kin. In time, this abandonment worsened into outright antagonism, with Drow raiding parties kidnapping their elven cousins and subjecting them to slavery, torture, and even ritual sacrifice.
