Homebrew Drow Species Details
The Drow, known as "Dark Elves", while they lived on the surface; hail from the Underdark. The majority of Drow worship Lolth or are at least evil enough to might as well, and very few actually have any morals to become good. Those of the Drow that wanted to oppose the evil ways of their people decided to worship Vhaeraun and Eilistraee. Regardless of which faith was being followed the Drow focuse on staying on top, but the "good Drow" want to end the pointless bloodshed between their kin maybe even planting another kingdom on the surface like they once had with Ilythiir; while the worshipers of Lolth enjoy the Ruling power they have and would hate to share it so they kill to stay on top and keep their people confined to the Underdark unless they're permitted specific reasons to leave.
