About

"Drow. The Dark Elves. Those Who Have Turned to Evil. In elven tongues, they are referred to by serveral names: "tirl aukhbhet-ess," "tuer lothnil," and "duiss aszbhar." All of these translate to "The Accursed." The elegant, dark and deadly drow are a hated and feared race.

In the dangerous caverns of the Underdark dwell many horrible monsters, including the drow. Obsidian-skinned kin to elves, this fell race has won mastery of magic - and a cruel reputation. Small children of Faerun hear whispered tales even before they are officially warned of Those Below. " - from The Drow of the Underdark, Forgotten Realms

Talab Xorlarrian is a priestess that has a thirst for magic taught by the many male wizards in the drow city of Menzoberranzan. When she can, she uses portals to steal away to the Night Above. Even though drow magic is useless in the surface world, she has found wands and other tools that work for her. She enjoys learning magic practiced by surface dwellers, but does so with a shoud of secrecy.
