Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashrum the Black" data-source="post: 4235376" data-attributes="member: 1585">In my Arcana Unearthed Homebrew I've renamed the drow to Quiless, and they have become something of a mystery to my players. On the one hand they are the descendents of a race of humans that worhsiped the personified force of chaos within the world. These orginators of the line used magic to become more like their god, and took up draconian charateristics through terrible rituals. As time went on though, these forefathers of the quiless moved away from chaos as they became more focused on the stablitity required to have and administer their empire. This was a heresy to a small group within the empire and they slwoly distanced themselves from the rest of the empire. Subtley  moving out of the empires heart and into the hinterlands. There they rededicated themselves to the forces of chaos, and in a ritual designed to prove theor devotion to the powers of chaos they once again changed their peoples forms, this time letting chaos itself choose for them.They emerged from the ritual with achingly beautiful faces, dark skin, and pointed ears. This they took as a sign of their gods favor and so they began to plot the return of all that is to the promal forces of chaos. For the last thousand years they have worked torwards this goal, formenting chaos and destruction from behind the scences. The players interactions hav had had one group of quiless helping them, another trying to kill them. This is because of splinter groups within the race that differ on how to accomplish the end of the world. And also because one group has broken with the powers if chaos and instead have aligned themelves with the powers of entropy. The Darkness. This lack of focus from the race has confused the players to know end and has led to some wonderful roleplaying as they try to determine who they can and who they can't trust from the race. And of course even the ones they can trust, they truley can't sinc ethey know that eventually they will be betrayed when their goals no longer coincide.-Ashrum</blockquote>
