Drow

Drow that grow up in the Underdark are raised believing that the surface-dwelling races are inferior and worthless except as slaves. When forced to interact with surface dwellers they find it hard to overcome their prejudices.

Treatment in Arret Rehto

Drekkarsfolk has a particularly negative attitude towards drow. They are not considered "people" in this region, and make up the majority of slaves in Drekkars Cove.
County Celadon is unusually tolerant of Drow, probably because Silverway is proud of its racial and cultural diversity, and Ironesse doesn't care where you came from as long as they can conscript you.

0-level (Cantrip) Evocation

Casting Time 1 action

Range 120 feet

Duration Concentration, 1 minute

Components V, S, M

Materials A bit of phosphorous or wychwood, or a glowworm

You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration. You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.


As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A light must be within 20 feet of another light created by this spell, and a light winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.

Faerie Fire

1-level Evocation

Casting Time 1 action

Range 60ft

Duration Concentration, 1 minute

Components V

Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice). Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.


Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible.

Darkness

2-level Evocation

Casting Time 1 action

Range 60 feet

Duration Concentration, 10 minutes

Components V, M

Materials Bat fur and a drop of pitch or piece of coal

Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can't illuminate it.


If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.


If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

Class(es): Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

Descended from an earlier subrace of elves, the drow were banished from the surface world for following the goddess Lolth down the path of evil. Now they have built their own civilisation in the depths of the Underdark, patterned after the way of Lolth.
