Drow are distant relatives of elves who split from them many centuries ago. Like rockseers, the drow descended underground, where they made their home, losing the right to call themselves High Elves but gaining many new abilities. Drow skin is dark, ranging from coal-black to dark grey. Their hair is white, their ears pointed, their eyes bright iridescent colours.

Drow are far more agile but less tough than humans. They venerate the spider-faced goddess Lloth, hating the light and all living things that populate the surface. Drow love poisons and resist their effects well, but are vulnerable to mithril. Drow are masters of blades and whips.

Like the Dark Elves, drow use a modified form of the dialect ahenn. They are very cunning and treacherous. Their culture has no room for honour or friendship -- from childhood they learn rivalry and the struggle for power.
