Drowseuessiri
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
The Drowseuessiri are the eldest and most numerous dark-elf culture of the Underdark: matriarchal city-states ruled by great Houses, sustained by silk, shadow, and the ruthless arithmetic of survival. They remember the ancient fratricide of the War of the Seldarine and wear exile as both curse and coronet. In 1021 AB the Brokering of Peace in the Drow Pantheon tempered open sectarian war in some cities, but custom and ambition still grind like stalactite and stone.
Culture
Art & Architecture
Architecture climbs rather than sprawls: ribbed towers, bridge-webs, mirrored stone. Colors: hematite, wine, venom-green, bone. Music favors skin-drums and glass chimes that map echo-profiles of chambers. Masques, pageants, and knife-dances educate as much as entertain.
