The Drow - Cruelest Race in D&D

DnD lore about The Drow, the underground sub race of Elves in Dungeons and Dragons. They have had a long and conflicting history across the canon of DnD, with many transgressions against their elven brethren. They spread across the underdark growing in arcane and divine power from their twisted god Lolth…

One funny thing about Drow is that they unlike any other form of elve have actually pretty high birth rates. Which by DnD elve matephysics means that they either get new elve spirits or that Lolth simply endlessly forces her follower to reincarnate.

Drow be like: Everyone is so mean to us. What did we ever do to you?

I got into DnD through the War of the Spider Queen books, I play a drow whenever I get the chance.

Great video, I would’ve liked to see a mention of eilistraee especially when talking about the “good drow” because she seems to be the biggest factor in those drow leaving the under dark to pursue redemption on the surface.

Nice work on the video! Drow are the S tier fantasy race, Eberron's version of drow are worth looking into as well.

Great video!! The Dark Elf trilogy were some of the best stories I ever read. I’m only seven books into the Legend of Drizz’t. I don’t think the Drow would ever become a threat because they spend so much time plotting and scheming on each other.

6:40 That drow looks like he's about to take 50 points from Gryffindor

Check out the drow origins in the book Evermeet: Island of Elves by Elaine Cunningham.

Ilythiiri labor with zeal to liberate all life from the drow curse. Knowing all too well what unwise choices result in with unintelligent responses having had to purify their own caste long before.

[psionicdante]

The Drow are basically the Ultimate losers of DnD rather that accepting that they lost and trying to change stir sit under ground being pissed off at everyone else because they didn’t let them win.

We need a huge vid about the abyss and 9 hells! $$$❤

Why are the Drow so evil?
They just do it for the Lolth.

[DaySun-qudo]

These guys are fucking diabolical, bro

Vault of the Crow and Queen of the Spider Web Pits were great first edition adventures.

[Svartalf]

Oh, and same for Drow surface raids, those were mentioned as early as the original Fiend Folio, so why do you mention those like they were a 4e novelty?

[davidwilliams]

Drizzt D'Ourden one of the few good Drow.

How come you have so little views and likes for such quality of videos?

This origin isn't my favorite. My favorite lore was the one where Corellon created the Ilythiir (Not the original name of the drow. There have been many rewrites so I am having difficulty locating the original name for the drow) in his wife Araushnee's likeness in reverence to her. But because of her jealousy of Sehanine's bond with Corellon, she took this honor as a patronizing slight which prompted her eventual betrayal. This story has been eradicated from the internet. I am furious with people who believe they are better storytellers than their predecessors who created the mythology.
