Talk:Drow

We need a creation story for the Drow, ideally one that doesn't follow the Lolth story. I'm not sure where fair use of that begins and ends, so I'm wary of rehashing the same story for the race. A couple of ideas:


 * Elves from near Redian buried in The Falling, and trapped underground for several generations. The magic release there slowly changed them, and by the time they emerged, they were quite different.


 * There have always been Drow. One of the first races. Elves are a a shoot which "improved" upon them, leading to the dislike between the two.


 * Drow are elves twisted by one of the first connections to other plains during the falling.


 * Drow were the tribe/clan/family of elves that build Redian, and they have been punished for it.

Not sure which one I prefer, and I'd like to hear what anyone else has to say.

Not sure how we finally decided to go with the other races, but if there are multiple others that are evolutions of one race (Dwarves, gnomes, etc.) then I really like the drow being evolved from the elves. Perhaps while trapped underground they grew to hate their former brethren who get to live under the sun and started to shun them and the aboveground in general?
