I need to know about Drow for 4E. A LOT ABOUT DROW. Society, characteristics, fighting styles, etc., etc., etc. Everything! Where are the best places to look?

Forgotten Realms Players Guide has the rules. Underdark has some fluff.

Outside of that, most of the recent fluff on Drow is in 3.0-3.5 books- like Drow of the Underdark, Races of Faerun, Underdark (3.5 version) and so on.

Underdark book has the layout of some drow cities.. FR book has some fluff city and house layouts specific to the FR setting.

Also MM3 has a great spread on Lolth.

Or you could just make up stuff that you think is cool.

Aye! What's the fun in having this big, mysterious society if your players can just go read books out of game to learn about it!

I'd say use Underdark and MM3 to get the basics of drow society right, like the feminist-dominated culture or the "upper class" being more closely bound to demons, and then make stuff up from there.

For example, in my campaign, the only way for a male Drow to get a promotion was to sleep his way to his position! :smallamused:

YUP! Love using webcomics for fluff, absolutely love it. You need to understand OotS, Goblins, YAFGC, and just the right amount of WereGeeks to play my campaigns!
