Nelmatos
Demographics
The population of Nelmatos is made up almost exclusively of Drow with some exceptions for slaves, notably Dwarves.
History
In 856, the Drow were excluded from the protection of The Il'ithani Empire when the other elves were exiled. They had no choice but to attempt to reclaim their ancestral lands, however Nelmatos was in complete disrepair and ruin when it was rediscovered by Empress Lolshya.
Ilros was the brother of the first Drow Empress after the rediscovery of Nelmatos, he helped to guide the people on a pilgrimage to the new city. Because of his importance in establishing their society, after his death protecting the Empress (or so the sonnets say) many families name their first sons after him.
Despite the fact that they share the underground world, the Dwarves are the mortal enemies of the Drow, having had some of their territory stolen by the Dark Elves in a false treaty. The Drow of Nelmatos often steal their religious iconography, such as golden statues of their gods, to melt down.
