[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 9084580, member: 6750306"] Oh, also, there's an enclave of surface-dwelling drow that aren't associated with Lolth or even any of their own race anymore. They're essentially just greedy, snooty nouveau-riche drama-junkie wine and cheese merchants these days, living out their own personal soap opera. They got cut off from the Underdark about two thousand years or so ago due to the magical cataclysm that sets up the backstory for my D23 adventure. When the dwarves finally found them about a thousand years later, they'd been reduced to subsistence mushroom farmers. So the dwarves helped them out and eventually the drow and dwarves became business partners... The drow make highly-sought-after high end mushroom wine and fungus-infused cheese and export them to the nearby human kingdoms along with the dwarves' gold, gems and other craft items. Since the drow are so long-lived, both their former glory and their more recent fall from said glory are still fairly fresh in their generational memory, and they like to live extravagantly because of it. (Hell, some of them border on cosplaying pre-Revolution French nobility. :p ) [/QUOTE]
