[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9115939, member: 6716779"] So I've been thinking about how the Drow have been over done. And their society doesn't make a lot of sense. Anyway basic idea is the same under ground elves, dump the matriarchal structure or at least the lolthite version of it. They follow dark queen of the night or archfiends. They are NE or pure evil cities tend to be ruled by royal families and a dark fae court type set up. Xenophobic isolationists. No civil wars bit very cut throat society. Losers do not sacrificed and inter drow physical strife is unheard of. Though shat not kill Drow (without just cause) is virtually unheard of. Noble obligations however exist more egalitarian in terms of social ckas no huge disparity between the forming Drow the nobles don't value wealth as such. Xenophobic welfare state. However they're still Drow. These rights and obligations do not apply to non drow. Station is achieved through social grace, plotting, scheming etc. The lisers are not obliterated in civil war to do so is uncouth. Public displays of violence are virtualy unheard of and any Drow doing so is basically a rabid dog and it's obe of the few scenarios one coukd get tge death penalty along with outright treason. Lovers are relegated back to the lower ranks of society tge leaders are exiled for idk 100 years. These renegades can redeem themselves and reintegration back into society. Punishment for minor crimes humiliation or demotion, serious crimes or losing station exile and capital crimes is death penalty. The rare good aligned drow would be regarded more as a fool and an idiot minor crime relegated to social exile and demotion to lower ranks. That could escalate to more serious crime if said drow was colluding with outsiders or trying to spread a good aligned faith. Either be discreet or become target for cruel tricks, harassment etc. Fleeing is regarded as treason. One way for exiles to redeem themselves is to deal with any traitors. Surface drow virtually unheard of along with raids. They still hate surface elves but woukd be more inclined to kidbsp a human baby and raise it and train it in the dark arts to unleash on the elves vs direct confrontation. Manipulation, deceit, trickery vs psychotic violence. Manipulating others to do violence is perfectly fine and admirable. [/QUOTE]
