Drow

TSoNM 01/17 In a book on magical beings, Alison found a picture of a man with silver hair just like her mother’s. The word “Drow” was written in fancy cursive at the top of the page “’The name ‘Drow’ is a subtext of troll, which are distant relatives. The ancient Drow were seen as dark elves, some very talented in dark magic. They worked and lived in a system of underground caves and castles, and were especially well versed in working with metals. As the Drow became more skilled, they became feared by many in the light and ultimately dwindled in number. Current day Drow are hard to find, living and moving in the shadows. Alison turned the page, finding a picture of a queen Drow, her features similar to her mother’s. “’Drow tend to have darkened skin, though it starts out light like a Light Elf’s. Pigmentation increases in with age. Their hair becomes fully white when they reach maturity, and some royal Drow have been known to have bright silvery wisps throughout their childhoods.’” ’The Drow’s powers were never fully known. They were capable of many things, including casting spells to confuse opponents.’ Confuse opponents? What does that mean?”

TSoNM 01/21 Harvey, the groundsman, knew Alison was a Drow and the dark magic called to her, even if she hadn’t figured that out yet. During several times in history Drow had maintained a neutral position between light and dark, but rarely was a Drow all good.

TSoNM 01/, 27Harvey said, “I did some research last time I was in the underground city. Figured you would want to know a little more about your people. I came across a section on sleep and it said that Drow generally do not sleep, not like most creatures anyway. They go into a trance-like state where their bodies rejuvenate. They were so busy underground all the time that taking some time to stop and trance out every once in a while throughout the day was easiest for them. So, I guess you not sleeping is a Drow thing.” Drow are known for being dark creatures.
