Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 2622717" data-attributes="member: 2020">Hey there everyone.  It is good to be back.  Thanks for the warm welcome back!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Here is another take on the my attempt at humor here:  what if drow society modelled itself after the wolf spider?  Wolf spiders get very large (5 inches across), they run faster than centipedes, and they are extremely aggressive.  They hunt and kill other spiders, including poisonous spiders like widows, among other prey.  Wolf spider bites are painful and sometimes quite nasty, but not as bad (I don't think) as widow bites.  However, a wolf spider has powerful jaws, a powerful bite that can draw blood, and it will bite you repeatedly.  So, what if the drow modelled themselves after the wolf spider?  What would surface dwellers have to contend with then?  (Obviously, once more, there is nothing humorous about black widow bites or other spider bites, in real life.  I am not attempting to trivialize in any way the suffering or horror caused to people by spider bites in real life.)  Concerning dwarves ... I will get to dwarves later on (actually, dwarves are fascinating.  Check out the dwarves of Krynn.  You have Hylar, Daewar, Duergar, Klar, Zhakar, Neidar, Aghar, Smiths, and other kinds, with a very rich and interesting history.  In Faerun we have numerous ancient dwarven realms, each with a history history.  And in 3E, we have the Gold Dwarves, and dwarves as mages.)   Nobody has asked me what Haldendreevan means, yet I said that all High and Grey Elves (or, in Faerun, Moon and Gold  Elves) are inherently Haldendreevan.  Isn't anyone curious?  Or has the Evermeet Propaganda Machine lulled you into complacency?  Don't let it!  Elves are not what you think they are!  Even more than the drow, you have been misled about the true nature of elves, and the truth should be known!</blockquote>
