Anyone with any questions about how nasty drow ought to be would do well to pick up Dragon 298, which should be out in about two months. I'm editing the Living Greyhawk section right now, which features a nearly 20-page survey of the Vault of the Drow and the evil drow city of Erelhei-Cinlu.
Fun, fun, fun.
And also: evil.

Well, since nobody else has said it, let me be the first to say "Rock ON!!" Erelhei-Cinlu has been one of my favorite places since I first got my greasy mitts on Vault of the Drow back in the day. As I put it on Greytalk a few years back:
"Personally, I've always thought that Erelhei-Cinlu was the Greyhawk of
the Underoerth. Y'know, the cosmopolitan center that defines the night
below, the center of a multi-national (hell, multi-planar) trade network.
Where else can you see an illithid diplomat, a tana'arri sex-tourist, a
duergar trading delegation and a bunch of derro migrant workers on the same
street? Street markets featuring merchandise from anywhere on Oerth, strange
drugs from the outer planes, slaves of every possible race (and several
impossible ones) cooked to your liking, Erelhei-Cinlu has everything! Where
do you think TSR swiped the look-and-feel of Sigil from?
"
This is gonna rock. Thanks, Erik!
