Editing Drow

==Drow==

[[File:Drow.jpg|150px|frameless|left]]
The Drow are elves with skin as dark as Onyx, that originate from an alternate plane known as [[Underdark| The Underdark]]. They have access to a a particular brand of poison, as well as a mind controlling fungus. They seem to be faithful to a Spider Goddess known as [[Lolth]], and are considered by the Magistery to be a war-mongering race, and therefore, intolerable.

During our Investigation of [[Valas]], we learned some interesting facts (see [[Game-Summaries:2/16 Recollections]]):

*They have the ability to mark opponents with Faerie Fire for future pain.
*They have been hiring Solace's own impoverished citizens for labor
*They have the ability to speak Common (why did I bother to Comprehend Languages?!)
*At least some of the Drow seem to be working under duress, and the threat of death
*There home seems to be a city called [[Menzoberranzan]] located somewhere in the [[Underdark]].

==Drow Society==

Drow society seems to be organized into Houses, each led by a Headmistress. In all observable cases, that Headmistress is also a spellcaster leading us to believe that the Drow value spellcasting above martial prowess, and obviously oraganize themselves in a matriarchal way. There seems to be some contention between the Houses, as we evidence of shifting alliances, and competeing agendas. We suspect, however, that one house must sit atop the hierarchy, at least in name if not in practice, for this organization to remain stable.

===Known Drow Houses===

*[[House Yauntyrr]]
*[[House Melarn]]
*[[House Dyrr| House Agrach Dyrr]]

==[[Silence of Lolth| The Silence of Lolth]]==

It has been learned from from various sources that the Spider God-Queen of the [[Drow]], [[Lolth]] has fallen silent. The Divine spellcasters among the [[Drow]] are unable to cast spells, and the [[Underdark]] seems to be collapsing. This has spurred the [[Drow]] into seeking refuge in other planes. After attempts to relocate to other planes, they have begunan attempt to evacute the the [[Underdark]] to [[Eomas]]. There seem to be a number of competeing [[Drow]] Houses and potentially unallied powers leading these efforts.
