[QUOTE="Hellcow, post: 1612820, member: 15800"] [b]Starting with the Drow[/b] Since there are a bunch of drow questions, I'll deal with them at once. The typical resident of Khorvaire would say "The what?" if you mentioned the drow. As things stand the Drow are found only in Xen'drik, and as such only explorers and sages who had studied Xen'drik know of their existence. Even the elves of Aerenal know little about the drow, as the drow are the elves who remained behind when the ancestors of the Aereni and the Valenar fled from Xen'drik. This treads on NDA territory, as more information will be released at some point. Just like the other core races, the Drow are culturally significantly different from their counterparts in other settings. A few quick notes: * The Drow remained on Xen'drik when the ancestors of the Aereni and Valenar left. * When the civilization of the giants was destroyed, the majority of the Drow retreated underground to escape the devastation. Today they live both above and below ground, and continue to prey on the surviving giants. * While somewhat nomadic, they do possess mystical secrets from the Age of Giants. * They are not "just plain evil" as a race, but have little warmth for explorers and looters. Many Drow families revere Khyber or the Shadow, and these are certainly dangerous groups to cross. * There's no Lolth in Eberron. If you want driders, they would presumably be the result of magical experimentation or some sort of disaster. I'd say you've got it covered. Again, as things stand, Drow are a very obscure part of the world; they're out there, but most people will never hear of them or meet them. If you love Drow, you can decide to have a Drow family migrate to Khorvaire on a secret mission tied to the Cults of the Dragon Below or the Shadow; But don't expect to hear much about them officially unless you're dealing with Xen'drik. (Of course, dealing with Xen'drik and sinister elves, you also have the Shadow Elves, though they are not actually a subrace as such... more to be revealed in the upcoming RTS.) [/QUOTE]
