[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8373654, member: 79428"] This is my take. Most drow are at most complicit in an evil society they can't escape, with the truly heinous individuals being part of the upper classes that Lolth has arbitrarily picked-out. Since the drow are isolated in the Underdark most other peoples will only interact with the Lolthite leaders and their chosen. Lolth could even have designed things this way to generate hostility against the drow, keeping them from escaping her influence. Well, for one thing the stuff in the Wildemount book is essentially a retcon (and Tal'Dorei Reborn could have even bigger retcons in store). The Wildemount book paints the curse of ruin as essentially being Gruumshite propaganda that many orcs and non-orcs have bought into due to confirmation bias. Whenever an orc or half-orc is violent the alleged curse is taken to be the cause. Followers of Gruumsh could also use this alleged curse of ruin to foment hostility against orcs, hoping to force even non-Gruumshite orcs to return to Gruumshite communities. [/QUOTE]
