Drows:
Drow or Dark Elves as some call them are a subset of elves who primarily
live in the Underdark. The majority of what is known about drow come
from records kept by surviving prisoners and slaves, as well as
information gathered from their constant conflicts with the surface.
What is known for a fact is that most drowish worship Searith as their
racial mother and goddess. However worship of other gods is not unheard
of, especially Sahn or Dearuhk. Drow are often regarded as destructive
raiders among common folk, which is why when a house of drow makes
itself known near by it is often met with hostility. There are
exceptions however, some houses have historically made alliances with
other political bodies and gained a hint of legitimacy on the surface,
though these houses are generally looked down upon by both humans and
other drow.
Drow as a general rule have one of two mindsets; dominant as often held
by females and submissive as often held by males. Dominant types tend to
be the power hungry nobles and leaders of each house, or those who plot
their demise. On the other side of the spectrum, submissive drow are
the scheming servants, warriors, and guards who're looking for any
excuse to betray their leader or one another. Loyalty is unheard of and
even exploited as a weakness. The ultimate drive behind a drow's
personality is the fear and paranoia that are naturally instilled in
them and nurtured by the turmoil of political life in the Underdark.
Drowish culture also tends to foster extreme racism, sexism, classism,
xenophobia, and even in some houses a form of eugenics. However there
are known exceptions to the rules above, but they are few and far
between and most certainly demonized by their kin.
The drow are fastidiously xenophobic, they are known for enslaving,
torturing, or killing members from any other race. As a result all races
tend to despise the drow to the point of hostility. Among most human
settlements they are 'Kill on Sight', and sometimes there's even a
monetary reward for bringing in their ear, head, or scalp. The elves
tend to also kill their darker cousins on sight, however there are some
elves who would try to capture them and interrogate them for information
instead. Orcs have a similar policy to humans, in that they kill any
drow they see on sight. In short, there few if any races who don't have
hostile relations towards the drow. Drow are even hostile towards one
another, as House Wars are waged non-stop in the shadows of Underdark
society.
Most drow tend to worship Searith as the mother of their race, and the
corrupter of all things. Her cults are widespread, and all have a High
Priestess to whom they pay ultimate recognition to. Religion plays a big
part in the political scape of the Underdark, High Priestess often
become Matriarchs in their own right, and some decide the tides of House
wars with a single judgment. However there are a number of drow who
worship other gods, usually Dearuhk or Sahn, and there are some who
worship no god at all. Searithian drow tend to view these others with
contempt and try to exterminate them when possible.
