The Drow have a mixed history that spans centuries of conflict both above and beneath the surface of the lands. Their struggles with their surface brothers is matter of myth and legend to the younger races, but to those who lived through it the wounds still burn deep and fierce. The beginning of the rift between surface and [[nordock:places_in_nordock:underdark|Underdark]] dwellers began with the Great Battle between Corellon and Lloth.

It was here that the Drow culture was forced into the [[nordock:places_in_nordock:underdark|Underdark]], developing its own political and religious systems to match their goddess, home, and lifestyle. The philosophies of the old world, and the “weak” minded views of their surface Elf cousins, were discarded as they grew and moved into a new era... an era driven by fanatical devotion to their Goddess [[nordock:pantheon:lloth|Lloth]], paranoia of their fellow Drow as they struggled amoungst the Houses for positions of favor in her worship, and the systematic destruction or subjugation of all other races.
