Drow
Drow, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, or sometimes "The Ones Who Went Below" on the surface, are a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly lived in the Underdark. They are hated and feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even smaller number of good drow exist.
Basic Information
Biological Traits
In many ways, the drow resemble eladrin and elves . Their bodies are wiry and athletic, while their faces are chiseled and attractive. Due to a process of selective breeding that lasted for several generations, the drow (especially nobles) looked attractive even when compared to other elves. Their alluring appearance, which could be used for seduction, was more often used to instill fear. According to Nojheim, meeting the beauty standards of the surface races made them prone to turn a blind eye on the deeds of the drow, and to be lenient to them.
