Drow (Underground)
Some groups of elves were trapped underground. They were deprived of sunlight and of their foods, they began interbreeding and exploring new magical and alchemical means to survive in their new circumstances. These elven peoples became the new dark elf, or “drow,” race. They first set out to establish their territories in the underground, building kingdoms and empires ruled by powerful matriarchs who command influence and power and constantly feud between each other for more.
The drow have also made efforts to reconnect the surface, they have developed tunnels connected to the surface. Some of these tunnels are obvious, others are cleverly hidden and used to conduct raids on cities in the grounds or using blimps to strike at the skylands. The drow make use of the massive caverns of the underground for their civilizations. Building up within the caverns and using the natural spaces as much as possible and using natural resources they can develop in the underground.
The drow cultivate bioluminescent growths and creatures to give light to their caverns and harvest fungus and cave creatures for food. The drow cities also employ a great deal of magic to supplement these resources. Drow cities are a diverse mix of peoples, drawn to the wealth and relative peace of the drow cities and the accepting attitudes of the drow. But above this mix of common folk are the ruling drow matriarchs and their families who use citizens as pawns in their political games.
