Details

The drowolath are one of several genetic descendants from the dark elves of the surface, having evolved since their exodus from the surface. While features vary, they almost always tend towards fine-boned structures. Because there is little variation in hair color and body shapes, many drow dye their hair, paint their faces, get tattoos or adorn their bodies with precious gems to set them apart from others.

Physiological

Key Points

• Drowolath possess auras, and are able to use Mana Arts.
• Drowolath eyes are able to see into the extended spectrum, able to see well in the dark and view heat sources.
• Drowolath age at a ratio of 2:1 (2 years to every 1 human equivalent year; i.e., they age at half speed.)
• Drowolath stop aging at age approximately age sixty.

Details

The drowolath body is highly adapted to survive in its subterranean environment. With excellent darkvision, the drow are a hearty race whose aura provides them a distinct advantage in living in the often times dangerous habitat they have settled in. For the most part, drow aging is linked to their proximity to areas of accrued mana, which has proven to provide longevity to the race; a drowolath that lives in a large population of other aura-bearing beings is, for all intents and purposes, immune to the effects of aging.

Psychological

Drowolath, in general, are well-adapted to their habitat and are generally very resiliant yet retain a very strong independancy streak. While this does not mean they are incapable of living in large groups - quite the opposite - what it does mean is that interpersonal bonds and material attachments are a more fluid concept to them then other races. Additionally, being such a long-lived species, as a drowolath ages they often grow less and less

Sociocultural

Drowolath culture is an incredibly varied thing.

Drowussu

The drowussu are one of the subraces that developed from the dark elves who fled from the surface at the end of the Moons Age war.
