General Description and Biology
Vary widely. Basic humanoid form: two arms, two legs, two eyes, one nose,
one mouth with elegantly pointed ears and delicate features. No "extras".
They are usually considered to be quite pretty, with pointy and pointed bone
structure. They have dark grey or midnight black skin and white or grey
hair. Very rarely, they have black hair. Biologically, they are similar to
humans, but they tend to have a high affinity to magic and a lethal grace.
Their bones, while thinner than other races are just as strong, but it makes
them look more slender and waif-like. They also have the ability of lightly
regenerate their internal organs which cause them to live longer. It is
common for this ability to go out of control and become cancerous growth
toward the end of life.

Origin and Lore
One of the first races of Tirradyn, while not as old as mrem and giants,
they are among the first. It is said they split off from elves when they
found the underdark, shying away from the sun to the cool recesses of the
earth when they found they could rule supreme.

Naming Conventions
Generally have a given name and house name/family name. Their names tend to
be long with deep meaning. Every name is carefully chosen for their children
within the House to have specific meaning with what rank and distinction
they hold or the family wants them to embrace.

Preferred Habitat
Underground away from the sun and light in highly structured and regal
cities. They like the finer things in life and their main city is Malaghar,
though there are enclaves of drow elsewhere.

Society Structure
Highly matriarchal with clear hierarchical tiers. Each House has a
Priestess at the top that rules over it, with those of the house falling
beneath her, first women, then men in supporting roles. Power, cunning and
skill are valued in their houses as well as lineage and natural talent.
