However... the book uses the topsy turvy 3e FR cosmology, which makes some things awkward, though in a few places references to Great Wheel specific things linger (one of the Ships of Chaos makes an appearance in one of the better books of the series). Some of the more cosmologically wonky things involves having the FR bizarro version of Anthraxus (Inthracis the Ultroloth) killed by a mortal drow from all of three spells, tanar'ri that are specifically affected by lightning, lightning immune yugoloths, and a lesser deity commanding an archfiend to do something inside that archfiend's fortress on his own home plane.But outside of the bizarre kinks and continuity issues the use of the breakaway FR cosmology brings up, the series is a really excellent exploration of Drow society, the friction between Lolth's priestesses and the male dominatined wizardly caste of society, and drow deities outside of Lolth making plays for power among her worshippers in her absence. I enjoyed the series tremendously.</blockquote>
