In the mysterious depths beneath Iozaria, the drow remain shrouded in both history and shadow. Originating from an enigmatic past around 10,000 years ago, their first significant interaction with the surface world came when they clashed with the newly-established Dwarven Kingdom of Krunbar over 4,000 years ago. The dwarves, having delved too deeply into the earth, disturbed the dark elves from their subterranean realm, sparking a conflict that would foreshadow the drow's reputation for centuries to come. Their already sinister image became further tarnished when they allied with the Forgotten God in a divine rebellion, an act that led them to the brink of extinction and forced them into seclusion.
Today, the drow are a rare sight on the material plane, and one often met with conflict and hostility. Long-standing animosities have endured, with their association to the Betrayer God still fresh in the minds of some. When they do emerge from their hidden enclaves, encounters are frequently fraught with tension. Whether it's prejudiced overworlders lashing out at the mere sight of a drow, or aggressive drow raiding parties attacking surface communities, their appearances are a potent reminder of a fractured history that continues to haunt both the drow and the world above.
