Numbers:<br/>Drow are many. And that makes them strong in a time where numbers are stacked against the Elves. They retained most of their military when the era of the high elves came to an end, sending only what they were forced to by pacts or contracts, keeping to themselves, withering the storm. Yet now, they posses Land above, and thus they are forced to care more for their allies, lest they stand alone.<br/>Social<br/>The social hierachy of the Drow is fairly flat. You have the slaves, around 80% of the population, made up mostly by half elves, followed by strangers not being able to present a permit or passport, criminals who chose disgrace over death, and those bankrupt who were sold into slavery. Then there are the free people at the bottom, living from day to day, always fearing what tomorrow brings. Dayworkers and Prostitudes,Farmes and street performers. But they are few and far, for trueblooded drow are cared for unless there is a significant reason not to.Which leads to the average citizen. With a place to sleep, something to eat and the right to use every slave not owned by nobility, they do seem to live a carefree life, but this is not true. They are seen as mere toys for the nobility, although they do have the possibility to work their way up into low nobility with effort, skill, loyalty simple luck or their body. Lastly there are the low nobles, answering only to the few selected beings known as true drow nobles, they are the immediate stewards to the drow realm. tasked with the administration of an aspect of drow life, from mining to farming or even lower administrative jobs within the city administration, they have power, they may view the lower beings as their toy, and may do whatever they please, as long as they do not work against their masters, or against their master's interests.<br/><br/>Drow society is heavily matriachaic, and this shows at the numbers as well as education and everything really. There are currently around 3 females for 1 male in drow society, for for are willing to care for an inferior existence but nobles and the desperate, and those few hoping for a change or better times. Males are commonly banned from learning anything of higher magics and faith, while women are heavily encouraged to follow such a path. Most males turn to martial might, desperate for the attention of a powerfull Mistress.<br/><br/>Faith: there is no unifying faith. Drow frequently pray to demons or devils, but in general every free drow is free to belive whatever he or she wants.<br/>Military: Drow Military is impressively balanced. Although made for flanking and surprise attacks rather than outdrawn battles, they posses almost every vital part of an army. Heavy Infantry comes from the nobles, whose females also serve as Mages frequently. The lower classes opt to support from the rear, frequently serving as bards, alchemists and rangers, with the slaves being expendable assassins as rogues or ninjas, or seeking to work (or sleep) their way up as swashbucklers.<br/>economy:<br/>Drow are the only truly self sufficient economy in Elbiana. Cut off from the rest of the world for too long, they had to be. They have a monopoly on dwarven artifacts, for they claim to be the reason for their extinction. Food is largely centered around fungi and moss, with meat coming only from the few edible dangers from the depths below.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Dark Elves<br/><br/>Numbers<br/>Dark Elves are a declining race by numbers. there is less than e quarter of the drow living free in Elbiana, although there are some captives and slaves, mostly located in the DemonWastelands. There are roughly the same number of males and females.<br/>Society<br/>patriarchic to a fault, dark elves do not allow women in positions of power, or even in public positions. Women belong into the home, and have to stay there to be the best ornament of the house, the most prized possession of the husband. As of now, some women, especially those forced to take up armes rebell against this tradition. even some men support this, and thus society is split, with a lage, powerfull lobby of traditionalists, and a smaller upstarting faction of rebels. Arashan, the capital is the hotspot of this conflict, amidst a vicious siege of demons, the upstarting rebels, mainly members of the military, demand more freedom, threatening to leave their posts.<br/><br/>military<br/>In the Desert, Cavalary is the King, and thus most Dark Elven Forces are mounted in one way or the other. Camels and Horses are the most common, but scorpions are a frequent sight too. Infantry is only light armored, for heavy armor and marching in the desert sand are equal to an death sentence.<br/><br/>economy<br/>Producing enough food for even a modest sized population is difficult, but since the Former Free Dunes Confederation, now dubbed the Last free dunes, rejoined the Kingdom of Elbiana, it has become the granary of the reach. The shores along the river Senerill are extremely fertile, the climate ideal for growing crops, and thus multiple harvests within a single year are the norm. Further in the desert oasises, natural drugs and exotic spices grow abundant, making for fine export products. The Last Free Dunes are lacking in wood, stone, and anything that can be planted or raised in green land or steppes.<br/><br/>Faith<br/>Longstanding contact with the demons made the Dark Elves adamant about their ban of demonlord worship.Worship of iomedae and zon-kuthon are among the stronges, with Iomedae being most commonly called the lady in light, and being the patron diety of the day, while Zon-Kuthon is called Lord of Darkness, Patron Diety and Watcher of the Night among his other portfoilos.
