Drow biography

Life cycle: From birth to death, pregnancy and childbirth of the third son sacrifice a woman of drow is capable of childbearing, like people, only a certain period of her life, unlike other peoples of elves. Throughout his life, the drow does not become a mother more than 10 times, in addition, the birth of twins or triplets is considered impossible: even if two lives arise inside her, a stronger food will pick up or block her brother’s umbilical cord, and the deceased germ will be absorbed in the body's body.

At the time of the death of one of the twins, the mother experiences an attack of euphoria, known as the “Cad-Zak”. The murder of relatives occurs in the womb, childbirth occurs painfully, but, as a rule, they are safe for the mother. They do not experience joy from the contemplation of the newborn mother. Little drow was transferred to one of the members of the house or to the family chapel of the nursery.

In the company of the drow, infancy and early childhood have survived only the most powerful, vile, cruel in the drow society. Such a natural selection determined the instincts of small drow. In the nurseries, the educators encourage rivalry for food and space, and the most successful receive a reward. The weak dies, the merciful sacrifice, because there is no more pleasant for the loss than the victim than the innocent drow, sacrificed in a particularly sophisticated way.

Mothers never visit children, but some fathers have sentimentally visit them; However, this is regarded as the weakness of both - both the father and the child - and, of course, therefore passes in the strictest secret. The graph shows a curve that approximately allows you to estimate the age of the drow by human standards. Built according to the following referee points: 80 drow years is like human age, in 40 d.

Liriel Banr - a girl of years by human standards. Glufu Banr ok. Childhood young half a-sequenary-brou in about 8 drows learn to speak fluently and possess their body, which is unusually early for elves. From this age to the age of 19, a girl or boy is given to the care of the younger priestesses of the house. From now on, his life is completely regulated both for violating him and sometimes and just like that he is subjected to serious punishment.

However, healing art among drow is highly valued, so lethal cases are rare. It is even more profitable to sacrifice Llos as weak, rather than torture without a ritual. Education mainly consists of mastering the foundations of religion and gaining military skills, in addition, the program includes grammar, mathematics, alchemy, natural science history, and craftsman skills.

Every third at the same time dies in competition from a knife in the back. Children with high ability to magic are given to students to wizards. Youngness of the boy learns to fight between 20 and 80 years of drow are considered young teenagers. The extreme competition of earlier years is reduced. They begin to think about their situation and social role. During this period, the drow should find a mentor who can convey to him “hidden” knowledge.

The mentor has an unquestioned authority, he is in power on the life of the student. This connection is not based on respect for the mentor, but on the desire to learn from him as much as possible, because only the basics are presented at the academy. So, in establishing contacts, obtaining skills, the youth of the drow passes and it becomes more and more independent. Usually, he occupies his position immediately after an “accident” with one of the older brothers.

In most cities, there is a law prohibiting parents to act as a mentor of a young drow. Perhaps this is done for a more acute competition between the drow, or this law takes into account the experience of learning Drizzt with his father Zaknafein. The maturity survive - the strongest adult drow is concerned only to gain a foothold on the hierarchical staircase and ensure further growth.

Their ambition knows no boundaries, and a thirst for receiving maximum pleasure from life with them hardly someone to compete. The life of the drow is marked by trials sent by the goddess. Each time they are all harder and life -threatening.

Drauk is a sad end of many men -brings of those who did not justify the hopes of Llos or have gored suspicion in the hearts of her priestesses, subjected to a special test known as Loltanchvi Llotnchwi. The death of the drow is usually fleeting: they can die from a blow to the back, in the wars of the nobility, or in an unsuccessful sortie on the switch. By the age of years, the drow reaches maturity, the most powerful and cunning live up to years.

And the old age reaches a unit. On average, the drow live no more than years1. The old woman Banr is an exceptional “natural” death - from illness or inexplicable - a sign that the deceased and his family left Tabor Llos. If this happens, then the corpse usually remains shamefully rot. If the priestesses want to especially emphasize the misconduct of the dead drow and his family, the corpse is wrapped in spider silk and suspended above the door, a stench with falling parts of the body serve as a powerful reminder of it.

Those drow who died in battle are different.They are full of “goodness” Llos, so their bodies are carefully processed, relieving the bones from the flesh, and the rest is dissolved in acid. The resulting material is used to prepare ritual vessels and jewelry. Probably, in both cases, it means extreme death
