Orc Knight
Auror
I'll start this with the standard realm of fantasy drow. The nasty, backstabbing, spider loving and rather unfortunately dark skinned matriarchal society. So, if you use them, do you keep to this or do you change them up a bit? Or a lot? Seeing as this is also a world building thread I'll throw in my version to see the thoughts on it.
Eld's drow are, put mildly, slightly juvenile pranksters as the first. Granted, in the past, their 'pranks' have started wars. They often fight with the dwarves that live underground, the dwarves trying to drive them back above ground. Though their backstabbing ways drove them underground in the first place and the fact there is a saying (often said by them) that there's 'always a drow' in the background of the world's goings on. Which holds some water. They extended their reach beyond assassins and creating many of the world's monsters with their often questionable alchemy to business prospects and actual banana republics. At the current time, they hold the largest business interests in the lands and hold most the trade lines.
They still worship Lolth, though she's became more a trickster goddess and the wealth and decadence has turned her a bit lazy and usually lounging in Paradise City's palace in her own personal wing. Usually to the annoyance of the Matriarch(s) at the time. They have both a court and a knighthood known as the Court of Peaches, which is often violent, though nowhere that deadly. They have a tendency to turn the impossible simply improbable and then making it possible. Which is why Paradise City exists. They wanted beach front property in a giant cavern. So, they summoned a stone from the sun and built a city of beaches and orchards and manage to live in decadence deep beneath the earth. They've repeated the process in all their underground cities and towns and have control of the underground roads, for the most part.
Dress style is best put as...tacky and brightly colored, when they don't simply paint clothes on or not wear any at all. The entire Court of Peaches is known for the obvious peach colors, along with orange and pink. They are brightly colored at all times, even if it looks like they dressed blindly. When they bother to dress. Among other things, they primarily get along with the green skinned races better then their other elf kin and are perfectly fine with getting more wood elves killed on the simple premise that if they don't do it, the wood elves will do to themselves anyways. They still also have the assassins, though not as traditional as most, the highest known as The Grand Jester. Due to them liking harlequins and clowns.
They have also weaponized peaches and mangos as bombs. The latter of which can kill dragons by exploding their heads. Started as a prank, of course. So, that about sums them up. A bit long, but I've been working on them a while now. Wanted to subvert them a bit.
