<font color=skyblue>How did you acquire your knowledge on this particular race, and what prompted you to be so studious on them?</font>

That is question number 1 from me.

My stepfather gave me my first Drow book when i was 11 "Homeland"ever since then i have been studying them with close friends.i mostly looked them up on the internet or read about them in books, i have read every book about drow that have been created even the new series.

<font color=skyblue>That's really cool! The guy that was going to become my stepfather before he got killed in a car accident gave me my first FR novel, and it was Icewind Dale...the first book I ever read in my life.

So let's see...I will assume that you agree with the way R.A.S. has put them to life on paper...but do you agree with what Elaine C. did to them in Evermeet?</font>

DrowArchmage 08-05-2004 08:55 PM

yes i agree with salvatore but no to Elaine

<font color=skyblue>Thank you.
I am sure that you see my reason in asking.

Okay, then if not going by her story of the creation of the drow, and the stories that followed, what is the best source you have discovered and what caused the drow to turn to a matron-driven society?</font>

umm...yay drow???

I dunno, guys...the only dark elves I've ever been exposed to are the moredhel of Feistland...and I'm not sure of the difference...but hey, huzzah for D&D...bringing people together, in progressively more wierd ways...!...?....

How could you not love the drow society? The constant paranoia and betrayal make it a truely interesting species, and the fact that females are in control of the race is something different in a D&D setting.

Anyone else find it odd that the race with females in control are mainly evil? :D

Not at all! :D

hey...on the RP forum, there is a guy that uses a drow sometimes as the shape his dragon takes in humanoid form, but he said that he did not learn of drow through FR.

He also said that the drow he knows of does not have to be dark-skinned. So...what are other drow stories about?

Yeah, some are albino I think.

IMHO Drow are dark-skinned or albino, never brown, only monochromatic. I like Drow. They rule. And I love the posibilities of RPing a true Drow party in the Underdark with Drow characters and NPCs and all. I like insidious plots and schemes.
