Category:Drow

Drow are a subset of the elven race, occasionally referred to as 'dark elves'. The distinguishing physical characteristics which set them apart from most other elves are near-black skin, near-white hair, and solid black sclera. They reside in the Underdark, and have a complex web of cities of their own. They are widely feared on the surface, as they bow to no rulers and have a long history of enslaving or even eradicating entire races at the whims of their goddess.

Drow are an unusual race in that they were not created by their goddess Lolth, but chose to follow her as she split from Corellon and the rest of the elven gods. Today's drow are the descendants of the elven factions which denounced their patron, sided with Lolth and conquered the Underdark in her name before the goddess remade them in her own image.
