Unlike the Elvens who live above ground, under the sun, the drows live underground deep inside the earth in caves and tunnels. In there they have grown in power and in anger towards their counterparts.
Elvens, humans and dwarfs are almost forgotten the lurking menace underground. It has been so long since the last great war and even since the last sightings of a drow. In great war the drows were beaten and driven so far and deep into earth that they will never rise again. But from that blow into their pride they have grown stronger and more furious than ever. and with help from their spies from other races they shall rise again. Astacia will RISE!
