D&D General The Gygaxian Origins of Drow and Some Thought on their Depiction As Villians

Sacrosanct

Legend
Are they all given a definitive morality? Is there just one elven morality?

And the Githyanki are IMO not OK - they are yet another Planet of the Hats and racially evil. Honestly my biggest problem with Githyanki is that they are a race at all rather than a culture. I'd sooner mind flayers didn't have a Favourite Slave Race, and I'd find the Githyanki both much more interesting and much better to interact with if as a culture they were physically a mixed group, some humans, some elves, some dwarfs, some halflings, some tieflings, some dragonborn, etc. It's far easier both to justify and for adventuring parties to play shenanigans on a group of slavers like that who are determined that they shall never again be on the bottom of the pile.
My biggest problem with the gith are their elbow testicles. First time I saw fiend folio, that's what I saw. Will forever stick.
