Drow |
Introduction
More commonly referred to as Dark Elves, drow have characteristics similar to their elven kin, but can be easily identified by their midnight black skin and white hair which tends to shade a pale yellow with advanced age. A matriarchal society, drow tend to live in the Underdark, where they serve their evil deity, Lolth. However, some drow choose to reject this way of life and flee to the surface of Faerûn, where they seek to show that not all of their kind are inherently evil.
Branded traitors and outcasts by their own people, some have come to Neverwinter seeking acceptance on the surface world and protection from what lies beneath...

Physical Characterstics
The beauty and sophistication of the drow race fail to mask their hearts and are all too often stained in evil. In many ways, drow resemble eladrin. Drow have obsidian colored skin and pale yellow (or pale golden), silver or white hair. The latter, hair of snow-white, being by far the most common amongst children and adults. Like all elves, drow are incapable of growing beards, though many males are fond of long sideburns.
Drow eyes are usually bright red, but some are known to have different colored, commonly much paler, eyes such as blue, lilac, pink, gray or silver. Even eyes of amber, brown and black are not unknown. All drow eyes, regardless of color, tend to grow redder when they are upset or angry.
Drow have lifespans far beyond that of humans and comparable with the rest of the elves, although usually somewhat longer. This is, of course, presuming the drow doesn't meet a premature and violent end, as many often do, but those that survive the trials of their society and the horrors of the Underdark can live for centuries. They have higher birthrate compared to other elves but their constant genocide of their own people has kept their population in control
