They are on the decline, having been mostly supplanted by drau (rhymes with flow), drow who have gained demonic traits from succubus interbreeding and other demonic infusions.This is a co-DM'd world and each of the three DMs has added to the story a bit as well as PCs adding to the world cannon in coming up with neat character backstories and backgrounds.Drau have been represented mechanically in different ways. I modified the winged demonic drow from Complete Guide to Drow for one drau lolth priestess, while another had classic wingless drow form. The dwarves were getting cold iron for their war with the drau, while some the PCs have fought needed good aligned weapons to get past their DR. When my brother was Co-DMing the drau pirates we faced had various demonic mutations such as lobster claw hands, hair tentacles, etc.Having a diverse range of demonic drow types has worked well for the chaos demon connection angle.Oh, and since the campaign includes Ptolus they are barred from the city on pain of death and it is a capital crime in the city to harbor drau/drow in the city (most people don't know there is any distinction between drau and drow).</blockquote>
