Manipulative drow delight in exploiting the weak character of humans. Others, such as dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, are deemed fit only for the lash. In practice, however, races that may share similar inclinations (such as hobgoblins and orcs) and those who serve willingly may be treated as servitor races and granted a measure of trust and modest rank in drow society. Relations: Drow have a strong sense of racial superiority and divide non-drow into two groups: slaves, and those that are not yet slaves. Drow are strongly driven by individual self-interest and advancement, which shapes their culture with seething intrigue and politics, as common drow jockey for favor of the nobility, and the nobility rise in power through a combination of assassination, seduction, and treachery. Each house is also associated with a demon lord patron. Noble houses define drow politics, with each house governed by a noble matriarch and composed of lesser families, business enterprises, and military companies. Reinforcing these gender roles, one in 20 drow are born with exceptional abilities and thus considered to be nobility, and the majority of these special drow are female. Male drow usually fulfill martial roles, defending the species from external threats, while female drow assume positions of leadership and authority. Society: Drow society is traditionally class-oriented and matriarchal. Their hair is typically white or silver, though some variation is not unknown.

Drow skin ranges from coal black to a dusky purple. Their eyes lack pupils and are usually solid white or red. Physical Description: Drow are similar in stature to humans, but share the slender build and features of elves, including the distinctive long, pointed ears. Some stories tell that given the right circumstances, a particularly hateful elf might turn into a drow, though such a transformation would require a truly heinous individual. While they are not born evil, malignancy is deep-rooted in their culture and society, and nonconformists rarely survive for long.
Drow have no love for anyone but themselves, and are adept at manipulating other creatures. Drow seldom make themselves known to surface folk, preferring to remain legends while advancing their sinister agendas through proxies and agents. Also called dark elves, they dwell deep underground in elaborate cities shaped from the rock of cyclopean caverns. Cruel and cunning, drow are a dark reflection of the elven race.
