[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2002790, member: 9255"] I run an Eberron campaign and had a few thoughts about how to do Drow. I figured I could get away from spider motifs to begin with. Being evil was the next thing. Then I wanted to reintroduce the "creep" factor to the race. That said I then looked into the history of elves and drow in Eberron. They were all slaves to giants and exposed to incredible levels of magic. This all ended when the Dal Quori invaded of the Dreaming Dark. Now the elves are free and the giants are barbariac or at least unsettled. Sit, spin and repiece it together. Drow are free and love theri freedom. They distrust everyone- especially anyone looking to use giant magic / tech to advance themselves. Instead of worshipping an CE spider goddess they may look up to ...the ones that freed them- the Quori! What I am using is- Lose tribes that are the unspoken masters of the jungles- below AND above ground. They worship dream and the creatures of dreams that are ...well not really nice. Intruders are to be killed. Killed in such a way as to discourage further intrusions into their lands. Having been given high level magic but not the training in its use I have them using weird magic that seems more alive. This keeps the connection of elves and drow alive. The elves worship death is a strange way. They worship their oldest and keep them alive artifically. Nearly every drow item will be sentinent with the spirit of a drow family member. I am looking to use the new Confrontaion elven faction as the mini's for them. They will be taller and the armor will have an organic feel to it. Let the terror begin. Oh- and how many will be Inspired carriers? Quite a few. In this I may keep the matronarch alive and only females are allowed to be a host. Oh the fun. To bad Xen'drix is 6 months away. ;) [/QUOTE]
