[QUOTE="Bladesinger, post: 8369697, member: 63625"] I know there are more Drow cities in the Underdark, their just making it sound in some cases like Menzoberranzan is the only one, and now sorta the First one, which also isn't true. I'm just saying they muddied things up a bit more than necessary. You're also correct that fans would have been up in arms no matter what they did. However, that to me seems like a good reason to stick to canon, let those who are going to be upset be upset, and at least have you justification that we stayed as close to canon as possible. That just sounds like a better justification and reason than just, hey look over here! Actually, I'm not digging where the story is going, just because it seems VERY forced. Had it seemed more organic in growth than just Here they ARE! and the over-compensation in how stupidly good the Aevendrow are, I might like it better. I don't hate the Aevendrow or Callidae, in fact there are some cool facets to them both, just, meh. Also, the religious stuff in this book is really, I don't know what to call it. Salvatore seems to have a real chip on his shoulder with religion in this book. I know he's said he doesn't like Eilistraee and that good Drow don't need a Goddess to be good, but then he argues its because of Lolth the U da Drow are Evil. Huh? Also, put me in the camp, 99% of Drow are Evil. A few exceptions make those characters special. When everyone is special, no one is. Again, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
