Drow

Descended from the elves corrupted by the appearance of Nivian, the drow are a subrace of dark skinned elves , though other elves rarely will accept that they are truly kin, viewing them as a separate race of beings akin to Darklings. The drow that survived the wars with the elves, the drow went underground to survive, ultimately joining the mutations from Nivian's appearance who fled the surface in horror and shame at their own corrupted forms. Now they have built their own civilization in the depths of The Undervale, where the truly corrupted live in thrall to their elven masters. 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 pale lilac, silver, pink, and blue. They tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves.   The drow are universally reviled. Their depraved society sanctions murder and the extermination of entire families - powerful houses vie for position in an ongoing Machiavellian game of kill or be killed.   Drow grow up believing that surface dwelling races are worthless except as slaves. Drow will go to the surface and cooperate with members of other races only as part of one of the numerous political plots in the subterranean realms, but some will learn that the lessons taught to them from birth are untrue and find trust and companionship on the surface. Even then, they find it hard to overcome their prejudices, especially when they are so often on the receiving end of hatred.
