How did the drow become the drow?

[NiTessine]

Because, remember children and never forget, dark skin is a sign of evil. Only light-skinned people are good.

Bah.

Funnily enough, a reviewer once bashed Homeland, the first book of the Dark Elf trilogy, for being chauvinistic.

Wow, thanks for the help everyone.

Davros used advanced science to turn the peaceful Word into the hateful Drow.

NOte that not only the illithyri were turned into drow. Probably quite a few gold elves and moon elves got what was coming to them as well. So you could have gold elven noble houses with dark elven branches!
