Most all Drow are religiously aligned to the Dark Seldarine. Mostly Lolth, but also Vhaeraun. And most all Drow fall under Chaotic(good, neutral or evil).

 

known languages

Known laguages: Deep Drow is universal. Other extra languages can include Common, Abyssal, Goblin and Draconic. (I would say to leave it up to your DM do decide how many languages you can know. But I think the best balance would be Deep Drow plus maybe 1 or 2 others).

Lolth's Shadow

 Your adaptation to the darkness makes it harder for others to see you. You gain +2 to stealth checks while in dim light or darker.
