Dark (Drow, Night) Elf (DHR)

__TOC__
Dark (Drow, Night) Elf
Major Homelands: Drow inhabit many Underdark regions and hold the following major "undercities": Menzoberranzan (in the North), Eryndlyn (under the High Moor), Sshamath (under the Far Hills), and Llurth Dreier (under the Shaar). Small drow communities lie under Tethyr, Amn, Waterdeep (Undermountain and Skullport), and elsewhere. Good-aligned drow are reported in the North around Silverymoon, in the Dales and Cormanthor, in the Forest of Tethir, in Waterdeep, and elsewhere.
Allowed Classes: cleric, fighter, ranger, thief, mage, specialist wizard (diviner, enchanter).
Multiclass Combinations: fighter/mage, fighter/thief, mage/thief, fighter/mage/thief.
Initial Languages: Drow Elvish, "Silent Speech" (sign language), Undercommon, Common, Underdark languages (for example, Beholder, Dwarvish, Jermlaine, Kuo-Toan, Otyugh, Troglodyte), any humanoid language. Surface languages can be learned from captives or slaves. Orcs are common in the North but are very rarely seen in the South; drow from Llurth Dreier would thus know Goblin but not Orc. Good-aligned drow not born in the Underdark may select languages known to moon elves.
Major Deities: Lolth, Eilistraee, Ghaunadaur, Vhaeraun, and others (Demihuman Deities; Monster Mythology, pages 59, 62-64; Drow of the Underdark, pages 20–45).
