Drow of UmbraMundus

Description

The Drow, or dark elves, of UmbraMundus, retain their dark skin and white or silver hair, a visual adaptation to their home in Tenebris. They are known for their captivatingly eerie, glow-in-the-dark eyes, a consequence of their evolution in the eternally dark land, enabling them to see perfectly in absolute darkness.

Culture and Society

The Drow have carved out their civilization deep within Tenebris’s caverns and have mastered living in darkness. They have built massive cities, carved into and around towering stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated by bioluminescent flora and magical lights. Their society is highly organized and militaristic, with an intense focus on survival and dominance in their harsh environment.

While some Drow societies continue to be matriarchal, others have evolved into egalitarian structures over time. Nonetheless, all Drow societies in Tenebris value cunning, strength, and adaptability. 

Classes and Occupations

Due to their harsh environment and competitive society, many Drow train as warriors, rogues, and wizards from a young age. They also have a unique class of arcane spellcasters known as the Shadow Weavers, who specialize in shadow and illusion magic.
