Drow

From LSWiki

Drow:

The drow are the blackskinned, whitehaired subterranean cousins of the elves of the sunlit world, whom they split off from many centuries ago. Now they prefer to dwell underground in the darkness they love. Drow make more powerful magicians than surface elves, but seem to have lost some of the famed charm of that race, and also do not live as long (usually only 1000 years or thereabouts). Their race has much traffic with sinister otherworld beings, and drow conjurors are renowned for their prowess. They have outstanding nightvision, but their vision suffers considerably when not in their preferred darkness. Drow are also noted for being universally ambidextrous, capable of using both hands with equal agility. They speak the Zadjalin tongue, a language that now bears only the slightest resemblance to the Sperethiel of their despised surface-dwelling cousins. Interestingly, they seem as talented with crossbows as elves are with bows, but display little aptitude with the latter weapon. If anything, the drow are more sensitive to the touch of iron than their cousins, but they compensate for this in a myriad of ways. Another difference is that drow seem to learn new things more slowly than elves; this may be due to the jaded nature of their culture.
