    History

    The Drow were created millennia ago when a large group of High Elves, intending to settle on the Argent Moon, were cursed by an ancient force during a mining excursion on the moon. More than two thirds of the Drow returned to ti'Rae, not willing to meddle with unknown forces any further. The remaining Drow stayed behind, entranced by their new Master and forming a solitary society that did not welcome outsiders; they became known as the Ancient Drow.

    Upon returning to ti'Rae, they immediately told of what had transpired on the Argent Moon. The High Elves, however, saw what they'd done and cast them aside. For some, it was due to prejudice. To others, they didn't want to risk being cursed themselves. Some Drow stayed on the planet, while others went to live in exile on the desert moon that would later be known as Crimson Hollow.
