Drow

Introduction
Drow are a dark-skinned elven race that predominantly lives in the Underdark. They are generally evil, exceptions including Drizzt and Liriel Baenre. They are shorter than many other subraces of elves and have a tremendous resistance to magic. They also have a much higher birthrate than most other elves, but strife tends to keep their numbers down.

They generally worship the Goddess Lloth (sometimes Lolth) although those on the surface often worship Vhaeraun. A small number of drow on the surface worship Eilistraee and are lead by Qilue Veladorn. Generally an entire city worships a single deity.

Drow were once known as Ilythiiri but, during the Crown Wars, they abused the powers of Elven High Magic to cause tremendous devastation. Afterwards the others elves banded together and banished the "Dhaerow" (traitors) to the Underdark.

One of the most famous drow is Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow who fled to the surface and has made many friends and done many great deeds.



Characteristics
Drow have black skin and pale yellow, silver or white hair. Their eyes are usually bright red, but some are known to have different coloured eyes. They vary in height between 4'6" and 5'6", and weigh between 85 to 135 lb (38 to 61kg) on average.

Drow are arrogant, ambitious and ruthless. Most of them delight in inflicting pain and suffering for its own sake and also as a means to further their ambitions. They are fiercely competetive and barely show signs of love or care. They are brought up to feel pleasure at the pain of others.

They commonly sare a hatred of the surface elves.
