Drow

Elves are a magical people with fey ancestry of otherworldly grace. Descended from an earlier subrace of dark-skinned elves, the drow were banished from the surface world for following the goddess Lolth down the path to evil and corruption. Now they have built their own civilization in the depths of the Underdark, patterned after the Way of Lolth. Also called dark elves, the drow have black skin that resembles polished obsidian and stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have very pale eyes (so pale as to be mistaken for white) in shades of lilac, silver, pink, red, and blue. They tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves. The drow are led by Lolth who has taught them they are vastly superior to every other race, and because of this the drow tend to be extremely cruel to the other races. Their society is very harsh, living in a strict tier-based system where the powerful get raised above all else, and get to rule all below them. The more favored by Lolth you are, the more powerful you are, thus the higher status you get, which leads to their entire society being based around trying to please the evil and chaotic goddess. The way of Lolth is a matriarchal one, females take up more powerful and leadership roles while the males make up the soldiers and workers, as well as other lesser roles. Their society and political structure are made up of many ruling houses, each house is led by a ruling council headed by a high priestess called matron mothers. Their politics are filled with constant treachery and peril all in the name of raising the name of one’s house to gain favor with Lolth.   Most Common Classes: Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Warlock, Wizard   Ability Score Increase.
