Underdark Campaign Setting - Lake of Spires: Drow

The drow that exist within the Lake of Spires and quite different then the drow that exist elsewhere, the unusual nature of the area and how it was created have had effects on the radiation that the drow’s existence is so closely linked.

Dungeon Master Note:  I have no intent on players being able to play these drow and personally I do not allow them to be played in this campaign.  Part of the campaign’s challenge is that the players are outsiders to the Lake of Spires trying to survive, they are not part of the natural existence and know nothing then what they figure out for themselves during actual play.  If you wish to allow players to be of drow race then perhaps meet them half way and let then play the normal d20 - OGL - 3.5e drow.
