[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6287068"] Have to agree with matriarchy. Though honestly I see elves as more enlightened in general and thus less prone to worrying if there is an X or Y on the throne. Meaning non-Drow elves can be matriarchal, but that is non-essential; however a Drow society must have a woman on the throne, though there may be powerful men at her side, but they are still [I]men[/I], and thus, lacking the necessary Drow status to rule. I [I]like[/I] the scorpion theme, but I don't think it fits the [B]traditional[/B] Drow concept. I've worked up a concept Drow-like race that is deserty fantasy-Persian themed that keeps some of the Drow tropes, but combines them with a more middle-eastern styling and replaced spiders with scorpions (and driders with scorpion-taurs of course). They're most certainly not Drow, and I think the use of the scorpion in [I]my[/I] creation does a suitable job of helping to connect them to Drow, but also distinguish them from them. [/QUOTE]
