 The ''Elfwar'' is presented, an elven myth in which the elves were one people until the Spider Queen Lolth used the dissent among the elves to gain a foothold; the elves of Lolth took the name Drow to signify their new allegiance, but as they massed to conquer the other elves, [[Corellon Larethian]] and his followers drove Lolth and her people deep into the earth, where they chose to remain. The dark elves who became the drow were originally simply elves who held more with the tenets of might than those of justice, and as they quested for power they became corrupted and turned against their fairer brethren. Dark elves rarely produce {{srd5lc|Half-Elf|half-elves}}, as they would slaughter any fool who trusts them. Drow infravision is described as so intense that their eyes actually radiate heat; therefore, a character viewing a drow through infravision would see two burning eyes atop a normally glowing torso. Any elf character of good or neutral alignment, even drow, is allowed into the realm of Arvanaith where elves go upon reaching old age. The book notes that drow [[player character]]s have a large number of benefits while suffering few disadvantages, but that "the major disadvantage to being a drow ''is'' being a drow." Drow characters are extraordinarily dexterous and intelligent, but have the typically low elf constitution; also, their personalities are described as grating at best, and all other elves ''hate'' the drow which affects their reactions to a drow character.<ref name="CBoE">[[Colin McComb]]. {{pub|The Complete Book of Elves}} (TSR, 1992)</ref>  | <ref>{{wikip|Drow#Description|Wikipedia: Drow (exerpt)}} ''(accessed 2020-03-18)''.
