I'm disappointed in 4chan. I'm disappointed in the internet. I'm disappointed in myself for believing things could be anything other than what they are.
>>52301930
So uh... were you actually going to contribute, or did you just come here to complain about how everyone failed to live up to some expectations you think they owe to you?
>>52301961
I'm not complaining, except to me. I'm just... puzzled by the fact that 4chan hears "drow" and immediately thinks "good guy moeshit".
It's something I never expected, and I've been here for almost a decade.
>>52301992
4chan is bored of "hurrdurr evil spider dominatrixes".

This is my fetish but I can't contribute because I don't have my laptop with me, sorry OP
>>52302018
And what do we have instead? Pointy eared people with bad skin? If someone says drow he means a specific kind of elves, not just regular dark elves.
>>52302097

Also no drow, but I have this.

So is this like a, quarter drow that was raised on the surface or something? Otherwise I'm confused.
>>52303349
She just can't bring herself to whip you for your failure at dinner last night. She's too sensitive a soul!
She'll have the hobgoblin guards whip you tonight in front of the rest of the house instead.
>>52303349
Drow being evil dominatrixes is so old fashioned.
Now Drow are kawaii anime hipsters with colored hair who want to give you a big hug and engage in consensual handholding.
>>52303434
When were Drow ever really just evil dominatrixes? I was under the impression that near-every setting they were printed in they were printed as an "Evil, sadistic, tortuous, spiders in every orifice" race of backstabbers and cultists.
The whole "You will never be dommed and mindbroken by a sexy Drow priestess" thing always seemed like people who saw "Matriarchal", "Elf" and "Sadist" next to eachother and stopped reading because that's all they needed for their fantasies.
>>52303465
As someone who just finished the first of those Drizzt books and is therefore a huge expert on all things drow, they really didn't seem too weird. They basically just came across as slightly more evil, backstabby elves, nothing like as alien as you described.
>>52303398
>>52303434
So drow autism, aka Drizzt expy´s.
You sure shown them!
>>52303434
Why are they even drow then?
>>52303541
And what about the evil dominatrix thing?
>>52303881
I mean its debatable. All the priestesses carry whips for no adequately explained reason, and they all consider males inferior (again for no adequately explained reason).
Then again its not incredibly on-the-nose or anything.
The Elder Scrolls completely ruined me on Dark Elves.
Every Time I use Drow they're just Dunmer and my games have forever been the better for it.
>>52303980
>and they all consider males inferior (again for no adequately explained reason)
Wasn't this because Lolth, responsible for everything drow, just favors females?
>>52304044
Quite possibly. Like I said, I've read one novel on the matter so I'm a complete expert on the subject.
Then again, female-first society still doesn't quite become dominatrix, but I guess the aesthetics of the drow don't exactly help on that front.
>>52300284
I got u OP, quintessential Drow coming up.
>>52304099
What happen to that poor drider's last two legs?
>>52303725
So they can be really edgy and cool.
I'm serious. That's the whole reason.
>>52303434
I'd rather them be kawaii anime hipsters girls with colored hair who want to give you a big hug before they pound your ass raw with a strapon

That's your problem right there. You have shit taste senpai.
>>tfw betas won't know the thrill of putting a dominant woman on her back and seeing the look she gives when you she realizes that submissive spark that's always been there, waiting to be dragged out.

in tes terms drow wouldn't be dunmer but falmer, me ponders. well, seeing falmer
>>52307782
Keep your shit opinions and vanilla sexuality to yourself.
>>52307782
Honestly, the fact you keep associating the opposing opinion with "betas" and feel the need, even in your fantasies to be constantly in control speaks more of your own insecurity than anything else. You're literally less alpha than a dude that gets off on being dominated by women. How's that make you feel?

Yes, more of these moe-ficated "drow" that barely have anything to do with drows.
>>52304010
Honestly, the Dunmer are just as insane as the Drow, if not sometimes more so, they're just more chill about it.
Walking around Dunmer lands is like walking through the Bible Belt. People'll give you weird looks if you're not a local, but they'll trade with you just fine. Then the second someone mentions religion, everything goes to shit.
>TREACHERY IS A VIRTUE

Falmer are feral and physically deformed. They're not sapient. This is supported by the fact that their souls are white.
He asked for Drow, not black pointy anime porn pics, you degenerates. Take that shit to /a/.
>>52309775
they're still mer. ex-mer, maybe. just pointing out that in tes they more drow-like. and they're not feral, they talk, they have cattle (skeevers and charrus (charruses, charri?)) and that is supported by the fact there are actual "feral falmer". they do have a form of hierarchy going on, with the different classes etc. they build tents, pens for cattle, weapons and armor...

let me also quote gelebor, the last snowelf on the falmer:
>over the centuries, I've noticed a rise in their intellect.
>>52304010
What's the differences between them?
Dunmer are Daedra worshippers, Drow are Demon worshippers?
>>52310497
dunmer are waaay nicer, unless you've backed the wrong house, of course
>>52310533
Isn't the first Drow city in D&D history accomdating to outsiders?
Erlhei-Cinlu from Greyhawk in the Vault of the Drow adventure. Way before Ed Greenwood got a hold of them.
>>52310607
Dunmer are essentially Drow if they completely inverted the ratios of chaotic-stupid. Also they swap out most of the spikey demon aesthetic for weird and wonky alien ones.
>>52310715
What makes the Drow stupid?
I don't have many but I'll post what I've got.
I know her skin is invisible but the filename says she's a drow anyway.
>>52312698
And I forget the picture, of course.

It talks about what amounts to IR lighting being used in art and jewelry to produce pictures no one without Deep/Ultra/Whatever Vision could actually see. I can see their clothes being the same way.
"Why do you fucking sluts wear like inch thick straps all over yourselves?!'
'Because to our eyes I'm wearing a very subdued ball gown.'
Needs more human slave-husbands, but otherwise liking it already. Good job so far lads.
'Go to the surface' they said, 'you can become a great hero and never have to be degraded by society again' they said.
>>52317529
ohh i remember him literally fucking illithids
>>52323076
>again
Mezzoberranzan is a matriarchy, women don't get degraded by society there.
Unless that's a male drow crossdressing because he thought the surface world would also be matriarcal, and in that case it's hilarious.
>>52326410
Its Mezzoberranzan, everyone gets degraded there.
>>52312459
Lolth's particular brand of crazy?
>>52312586
That's the goddess of death, not a drow.
Xalyth the Drow Bard is the best PC I've ever played. Gonna dump the art I use for her.
http://i.imgur.com/bJnt8gf.jpg NSFW cropped shot so I'll not upload it here. It's just a shopped nElf, though.
>>52326601
Lolth of Forgotten Realms isn't the same as Lolth of Greyhawk.
In the latter her edicts actually try to keep her people alive, though strengthen them through adversity. Both males and females can have positions of power over other males and females, and a matriarchal government is not an edict of hers, but a cultural trait of the Drow and likely elves in general.
>>52312459
Becuase they are animals. They live only for themselves, willing and able to kill, steal from, and torture each other over nothing more than a day in a nice inn, some brandy, and seeming the look on their fellows dying faces. They have only a Rudimentary understanding of the future, as shown by how their savage minds cannot grasp the concepts of ideals or goals.
Just look at the disgusting facade they call a civilization. Their lower class differ from the slaves only in their skin and their scruples, also subject to the whims of their, and I say the word loosely, "High-born" families. Their Governance rarely ever makes or enforces a relevant law, instead being rife with endless subterfuge and politicking. Yet, no matter how many times power changes hands why is it that nothing ever gets done or changes? It is because none of them have any vision or attachment to their state. Every single one of them strives to gain power purely for the sake of indulging in ever more hedonism and cruelty, only looking to service their base depravity.
And their mockery of a religion is even worse. Their self-proclaimed Goddess, Lolth, is naught less brutish and twisted then they are. It's very creed advocates for and encourages their vile and hateful ways, it's actions serve are never made in defense of an ideal or it's flock, but only in satisfying it's fiendish, sadistic urges and whims. The worst part is that the Drow know this, and this is exactly why they worship it. It is not devotion or adoration you see it the arrows eyes, but the fearful envy that brigands hold for their leader. Would that they could, they would just as soon betray their goddess than follow it.
The Drow are, as a species, worse than vermin. They are a perversion and corruption of all of humanity's traits! Were the world washed free of their taint, not even the most wicked and vile would shed a tear.
>>52331328
I mean you have some valid points despite your rp faggotry, but their very first interpretations were as the masterminds behind a giant uprising. Players had to discover breadcrumbs of their plots and piece it together to discover them and follow them back into the underworld. That doesn't say to me a people who cannot grasp ideals and goals.
>>52323076
Look, pretty lady, I know you say you'z got lots of money, but yours ain't legal tender here, ya dig? I'm just asking you clean a couple tables, and you can shack up for the night till you figures out what you wanna do.

>>52301004
I don't buy it. Drow are basically every cunty behavior that rl women exhibit times a million, no two female drow would be in a relationship like that, they hate each other too much.

>>52304044
If I remember correctly, yes. Drow society is a completely nonsensical mess in multiple ways, and is only sustainable because Lolth props it up.
>>52331328
>Their self-proclaimed Goddess, Lolth
Uh, no, she's a goddess. I don't know if she's ever self-proclaimed herself as one, but if she has, it's because she's stating a fact of her existence. Like water being wet.

Are there any pictures were Drow are scaled like they are described in D&D? I'd find the dominate spider maiden thing pretty funny from a race that stands a towering 145cm.
>>52341973
Not that I can think of, unfortunately.
Though you just reminded me...in the campaign that just ended, I was playing a drow. This drow, actually: >>52301521 . But, my drow had been born on the surface of the world and raised by a human innkeeper in a reasonably prosperous fishing village. So she ate human food in human quantities growing up, unlike drow, who I imagine tend to not get a lot of vital nutrients, and have to deal with famine frequently (at least the ones in Menzoberranzan - it has a population of over 20,000 drow and yet all its food supposedly comes from a single tiny area of its cave...basically I imagine the drow as being North Korea - see pic for justification).
As a result of having a far better nutrition when growing up, my drow character stood 5' 5'' tall - average for a human woman, but a positive giant by drow standards since they average 4' 7'' (males) to 4' 9'' (females). She'd stand out immensely in any crowd in a drow city.
>>52337628

>>52341973
Aren't female drows, on average, taller than their male counterparts?
>>52343043
Not necessarily no.
>>52341973
Maybe it's just because Warhammer was my big introduction to the fantasy genre as a whole, but DnD's elves being really short always felt weirdly dumb and out of place to me.
>>52307382
TSR probably caught crap from Moorcock and panicked.
>>52343043
In the Forgotten Realms, yes, though only by an inch or two. They also tend to be better fighters due to receiving better training and equipment.
>>52337540
It's an edit of a fair-skinned elf done by someone who wasn't particularly paying attention.
>>52330771
I've never really heard of much distinction between the two. Probably because Greyhawk is kind of a dead setting, but I feel like most of the vaguely Greyhawk 3.5 stuff I remember didn't say anything like that
>>52347715
>in faerun, only drow, half drow and wild elves were smaller than humans on the average. Moon elves, wood elves and sun elves were taller on average.

>>52352185
Das racis
>>52352107
Examples of glasses go back as far as the 13th century. I think a medieval fantasy setting with elves, dwarves and goblins can survive their presence.
>>52352236
>>nah, just put some glasses on them, who cares
>Thanks anime elves.
Well, at least you're not putting couple dozen extra pounds on them like certain other manga.
>>52352243
>>52352274
The particular fantasy setting does have glasses alright. Hell it has devices similar to mysterious Death Ray of Archimedes.
It's just that Dark Elves would not use them either of those things.
RIP Eilistraee
Unless they brought her back somehow in recent editions
I stopped giving a fuck about FR's lore somewhere between 3.5 and 4E
I find this to be incredibly cute. There isn't much art featuring drow kids.
>>52353374
They brought her back.
>>52353621
I figure a lot of 4E retconning happened. I suppose I could just google it, but I'd rather ask friendly anons instead.

>>52353458
Yes, yes it is.
>>52353374
She's back. Check the Sword Coast Adventure Guide in particular, and look for her to play a bigger part in the lore in the future as more and more Drow integrate into surface life.
I read that as pictures of clowns.
>>52353654
We literally have no idea, except that Ed Greenwood said she's back, so she is. Also she was in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.
I'm...not a fan. While I hated 4E, and liked Eilistraee, I would prefer if death had somewhat more permanency, even if it's stupid. If the drow need a good goddess, I would have preferred a new one, or maybe an ascended mortal.
Liriel Baenre springs immediately to mind as a good possibility. She's not up to anything else near as I can tell, except killing assholes by animating their dragon-skin boots.
>>52355192
I doubt Greenwood gave the go-ahead on her death to begin with, but a lot of FR authors were pretty eagerly tossing gods onto the chopping block to get ready for 4E's nonsense. Seeing as how the drow as we know them are basically his creation, I doubt he was particularly pleased about another author getting WotC's permission to do that.
Eilistraee's death was a cheap and stupid one and served no purpose other than to make a divide between drow and "dark elves" so 4E could nicely categorize the two. Drow as per the norm, and wood-elf-flavored dark elves.
They just wanted "good drow" to no longer be a thing, for whatever reason.
>>52353654
>>52355192
>>52356783
Like >>52354256 said, they've set up a drow migration to the surface. This happened by introducing demons to the Underdark to cause chaos (along with some other shit). The return of Eilistraee obviously signals that her desire to return drow to the surface was a prophecy, and the lack of direct intervention from gods in 5e means that Corellon can't do shit to stop it regardless of whether or not he wants to.
>>52353438
Number 4 makes me wonder how the Drow would feel about Spiderman?
>>52357400
They take offense to the man part
>>52356783
Even the writer they hired to write Eilistraee's death voiced complaints about it when WotC informed her about how that niggling little detail needed to be covered in the books she was writing.
I didn't know that the Drow had other gods to worship other than Lolth.
>>52301004
Thank you for reminding me exactly how much time I wasted on drowtales
>>52358675
The only time anyone ever gave a shit about Eliastree was when she was giving out sex changes so male priests could enjoy the lesbian orgies and everyone thought Ed Greenwood was imposing his magical realm on 4E.
>>52301558
That's from Cthulhutach, I think.
>>52358747
Drow lesbian yuri is never a waste
>>52358846
90% of drowtales isn't porn, it's bad storytelling
>>52358892
So 10% is porn?
Still works out.
>>52358892
Its still 'porn', its the writer jerking off to his overpowered marysue race of Drow.
Its hilarious that in the past he actually got pissy when people voted for the porn options in his CYOA rather than the story ones.
>>52358787
Eilistraee is a strange one, because she's clearly a god that's a creation of the political and cultural climate of the Drow. Not all Drow like to live as they do, and want to escape, in comes a symbol of that desire, with tales of her aiding refugees in their escapes. Suited more as a kind of demigod than a real god though.

"What do you think of Castle Daggerfall?" The tour guide asked her group.
"It reminds me of sex," replied the dunmer.
Confused, the guide asked why.
"Oh, well.... Everything does"
Could you fucking imagine if people started developing natural skin hues like purple, red or orange?
Christ, it'd be like handing half the population a baseball bat and saying, "This ones on the house"

But isn't getting degraded by non-drow men the reason why you came to the surface in the first place?
The first descriptions of Drow describe them as worshippers of Demon Princes.
Now we all know Lolth is chief among them, but what other kinds of Demon Princes do you think Drow could worship?

Warcraft has its own version of drow- the Nightborne. They spent 10,000 years under a magical barrier and with constant exposure to powerful arcane energy that changed them from their Highborne night elf predecessors.
Additionally, there are mutated ones that resemble driders which came about as a result of an experiment gone awry to try and curb their addiction to arcane energy.

Can you do me a favor and kill, oh let's say twenty million cliff racers? This is a time-sensitive mission.
so what's the appeal with DnD drow? I can get generic dark-skinned elves because why not have more options? But the DnD take is just so laughably edgy and dysfunctional I really can't see why people like them.
Is this some fetish shit?
>>52367470
It's either
A) some fetish shit
or
B) People like certain aspects and want to run with the good parts, and since everyone's playing D&D that's pretty fun.
The idea of a dysfunctional society kept together by the whims of an insane god and those who struggle against that is pretty cool, desu. Just because there's 10 shitty writers to every 1 decent line of Drow lore doesn't mean it's all shit.
>>52367512
>The idea of a dysfunctional society kept together by the whims of an insane god
This is what I like most about the Drow. The idea that their society should not work and only does so because Lolth thinks it's funny. And the Drow are perfectly aware of this, but they're too terrified of what might happen if they tried to break free or change anything. They're caught in this mad, desperate struggle to keep Lolth amused so she won't just shrug, wander off, and let their society devour itself in a month.
>>52367470
Fetish and it's pretty funny
I'm playing and the whole PC group is drow who went to the surface to look for better weapons and shit to take back home to fuck up each other some more, and all of them are retarded and dysfunctional.
>>52367614
for me, it's 75% appearance (I love the dark skin tone + light hair contrast) and 25% the fact that they're mostly dickheads, because it makes the non-dickish ones that much more special. No, I don't just mean the dual-scimitar-wielding rangers.
In storytelling, I like the uphill struggle of the underdog that's unjustly maligned based on the deeds of their people, either trying to prove they're not like the others or just trying to slip between the cracks and go unnoticed.

in the 1500s-1700s, women walked around with their tits fully exposed.
>>52367470
I like evil elves. Also the colours. I prefer their skin tones to be more varied though with deep purple, midnight blue, and obsidian. Same with more colourful eyes too.
>>52367916
Yeah, but we've developed women who actually have tits worth showing off these days, so.

Summary: WoW's not!drow are having a civil war because the ruling section decided to bend knee to the Burning Legion rather than be destroyed, seeing as how the Horde and Alliance got their shit pushed in on the Broken Shore (both the High King and Warchief were killed, along with a sizable chunk of their forces and the Argent Crusade). A group called the Dusk Lotus tries to defy them and promptly got its ass kicked. All the ones that weren't killed were exiled, essentially a death sentence outside the city.
You, being the big swingin' dick hero that you are, show up and help the exiled Nightborne (the Nightfallen) establish a place of security and power so they don't succumb to their magic addiction and become mindless Withered (i.e. like the blood elves' Wretched back in Burning Crusade). Eventually, you find a cure.
The anon in question probably found it hellish because it involves a lot of grinding to actually finish the storyline, because unlike every other zone in Legion it requires you to be Exalted with the representative faction to do so.
I thought it was fine, personally. They dropped the ball elsewhere but Suramar was nice.
So a friend of mine might run a solo game for me where I play a MALE drow gladiator slave.

I don't get why the Drow have to look so uniform when other subraces of elves have a great variety to them.
>>52369465
>52369465
Inbreeding, other kinds of elves can travel far from their homes freely and keep their gene pool nice and varied
Drow can't, they're stuck in the closest thing to hell on earth in most settings and live in a restrictive, controlling society. The nobles probably won't ruin their blood with the common stock, and the common plebeians are probably forced into marriages and couplings to ensure good, strong, obedient children.
While the noble houses all hate eachother, and while interbreeding between houses could bring a political boon to one or both, most of them would be too proud or hateful or suspicious to do so, meaning breeding in their own family/house much more likely, as it is for commoners as the same family is likely to share the same sought after traits
TL:DR: Drow, not wood elves, are the inbred hillbilly elves
>>52369568
This just makes so certain traits will be only In certain social classes, not that there will be lese variations, like the the true nobles of Lolth being pure black, but the lowborn could be blue or purple.
>>52369705
True true, however this would mean they'd be somewhat less varied than their surface brethren, and make at least a few traits so common they seem to be present in every drow specimen.
they could also be uniform due to social norms and restriction, or religious traditions. Maybe its like some countries where they can only have certain hairstyles/names and are forced to dress the same way as everyone else.

Everything that falls out of your mouth past this is bullshit and i didn't even need to read farther.
I want to include drow in my setting. Or dark elves, at any rate- but I can't come up with a reason for their appearance to so vastly differ from the norm of most elves, and there are already subterranean elves that are pallid and dark-haired.
"Magic did it" is kind of a given, seeing as how that kind of mixed pigmentation doesn't come naturally in humans.
>>52370547
the explanation I'm using in my setting is that the drow, the only elf race of the setting, are descended of deep dragon (themselves descended of black/blue hybrid dragons)/human hybrids, as a bid for the black dragons to keep themselves and their culture from going extinct, hence the black skin. They do anyway, when the drow, dragonless, are converted to lolth worship, but upon the advent of the true gods, and lolth's absence from their ranks, drow culture's been going through a bit of a revolution by the time the game picks up.
On the dragon side of things, only blue, brown and red dragons remain and thrive in the setting.
>>52370547
>that kind of mixed pigmentation doesn't come naturally in humans
Oh yes it does. Have you ever met an African? Not one of the American-born Nigerians we have in the states, but born and raised in fucking Congo or some shit? They're basically as dark as a Drow, sometimes darker.
>>52359348
No, but if you wanted a Drow re-fluff you could do worth than stealing them.
>>52370689
Reminds me of the lore behind the now defunct EverQuest Next version of Dark Elves, who had small horns as a result of it as well.
For some reason I hadn't considered a possible ancient crossbreed.
Elves in my setting are largely defined by their environs, bound to one of several blessed tree of life that keep them ageless and healthy for hundreds of years. When the tree is killed or they're cut off from its power somehow, they deteriorate and die.
Idea 1: A group of elves made/were trapped in a magical pocket dimension for thousands of years and forced to find a way to create an arcane alternative to their natural bond to the world to keep from just dying out.
Idea 2: Same premise but in a more shadowy realm, hence the very dark skin. Possible pact with Shadow-Demon Lord for an alternative to keep them alive.
Idea 3: Something closer to what you're doing, with a powerful, ancient lineage (such as a dragon or something otherworldly) "corrupting" their bloodline in a sense.
>>52370842
Skin yes, hair no. A lack of melanin in hair and abundance in skin is not a thing that normally occurs.
>>52371003
Actually, it does. Certain forms of malnutrition can cause dark-skinned children to shift hair color to light red or even blonde.
>>52371060
I'm talking about en masse. It'd be a large-scale mutation, not a series of isolated situations.
Though that opens a door for idea 4: Dark elves are not a race all their own, but any variety of elf exposed/subjected to _______.

Pisses me the heck off man. I was actually excited to play an MMO, and then Sony does the Sony thing and sells off SOE, which pretty much doomed EQN (and Landmark).
>>52370962
here's an option
drow are almost always evil in culture, or at least hostile at base.
Instead of them being bound to a tree, have them, as the inherently hostile culture of elves, be bound to a fungal parasite that thrives on all kinds of life tree
>>52370547
Corellon did it.

Being in a fantasy world where genetics don't necessarily work the same way that they do on Earth amongst humans.
>>52371154
You went there too? Because I totally went there. I'm actually tempted to do something in my setting where repeated exposure to sunlight and a varied diet turns Drow from their current form into _____, and then their offspring are even more like _______. But I can't decide what to fill in the blanks with.

to put it in simple terms Lolth's whole deal is she was the favored consort and beloved of Corellon Larethian tried taking over and when he kicked her ass out for it she turned her elves into a weapon against him and his. Sort of half Judaeo-christian God/Lucifer dymaic half divorced bitch who spends all day telling her kids dad is a fucking scumbag and you should hate him. Corellon is a dude lolth is a girl, so fuck dudes chicks should be in charge
