So I havent played D&D in a long time, but I had an idea last night that I like the idea of. Although I have no idea where to play it and would likely have to do the Adventures League thing..
I'm wondering whats up with the Drow these days. The various wikis I've found seem a bit confusing, and inconsistent and I would prefer not to have to read every Realms novel written in the last 15 years.
Is Menzoberranzan still a matriarchy of jerks devoted to Lolth?
I want to play at Drow, but not a whiny emo Drow, not someone who’s whining about how horrible their society is.
Like a priestess who discovers that one of lolths children is a genuinely good human. Feed the hungry, tends to the sick ect.
The priestess Is tasked with protecting her in a vision from Lolth directly. So if she tries to work her way into the characters life. It tries to befriend her, tries to spend as much time around her as possible. And tries to gain her trust by acting like a lovely lovely elf.
However given her upbringing, she still ruthlessly “pragmatic” in her task. (As gamers we all read “pragmatic” as casual murder happy right?). And given the status she had in Menzoberranzan has disproportionate responses to perceived disrespect, And spends no small amount of time of thinking “maybe if I just drug her and keep her in a box, that will count as protecting her”
But as things go in she develops an admiration for the Demi-god and genuinely wants her respect
It was about this point where hte disapproving voice in my head said "You're describing Emma Frost"
And I had to tell the disapproving voice "Shut up, I want to be an awesome elf"
