Drow

Origins
The Drow of Incantre are the most common race within the subterranean levels of our world. Legend says that they can trace their beginnings back to a time when they were one with the Elves. Although they share many physical attributes with their surface-dwelling counterparts, they do not consider themselves a sub-race of elves but a race unto itself.

Appearance
Drow are dark-skinned in appearance, with hues that may include hints of blues or purples as well as more monotone grays to black. Hair color is almost exclusively white or silver. Their slanted, almond-shaped eyes are often red, but occasionally they may be other colors including blue, violet, gray, or even a rare yellow. Their ears taper to a point, and their features are sharp. The females are often larger than the males, but all are normally tall and lithely built.

Society
Drowish society is stereotyped as a dark or evil culture dominated by matriarchs and largely influenced by magics both arcane and divine. Many of the females become priestesses or are in some other way dedicated to their goddess Kah'ne. Males are often warriors, but some few gifted are permitted to study the magical arts. Despite these broad generalizations, there are many other professions these long-lived beings may choose to persue should they survive the brutal existence of their subterranean civilization. There are some stories that those who are truly blessed by Kah'ne do not die, but instead are allowed to leave our plane of existence to join her ranks of minions in the home of the goddess.

Outcasts
There are those who shun the darkness and turn their eyes towards the light of the surface world, severing their bonds with their people. These drow are viewed as misguided and lost to the rest of their kin, the most zealous followers of Kah'ne seeing them as cursed individuals which taint the rest of their society. Outcasts, they face distrust from all sides and often take up a relatively solitary existence.
