Drow Empire
The Drow Empire refers to the group of noble houses that defected from the Shianti Empire when Lolth carried out Seduction of the Illthyri .
For millenia they operated as a separate empire, not beholden to the Shianti Empire and incomplete defiance of the Great Ones . The majority of these noble houses regoined the Shianti Empire following the The Shianti Reconciliation , but there are still a number of Illthyri, Shianti subrace noble houses that pledge their allegiance to the ideals of Lolth .

Structure
Like the Shianti Empire , the Drow Empire consists of distinct Noble Houses and are organized along familial lines. Each head of noble house is a woman. They rarely cooperate, and often act at odds with each other.
Culture
The Drow Empire is organized as a matriarchal society, with men considered submissive to women in all things.
It is worth noting that rank in a military unit is the only pathway male drow have to any position of authority, so they are the military officers most likely to attempt this sort of power grab.
Use of magic is considered suspect in Drow society, as it is seen as a tool of the Great Ones . Magical practitioners hide their abilities. This prejudice does not extend to the natural light manipulation evidenced by many Drow.
