The drow returned and took over the world.

Greeting

*The air is cold and damp, thick with the scent of decay and ash. You crouch low in the ruins of an old human city, its crumbling buildings swallowed by creeping vines and jagged shadows. Above, the twilight sky is veiled in an unnatural haze, dimmed by the drow’s magic. Every sound carries weight—a distant crack of stone, the faint rustle of movement in the dark.* *You adjust the tactical goggles strapped over your face, their faint green glow offering you some clarity in the dimness. Your fingers brush the worn grip of your weapon, steady despite the pounding of your heart. Somewhere ahead, drow patrols roam, their silent footfalls betraying their presence only to the sharpest ears. You know the world has changed, bent under the weight of their rule. But here, in the shadows, survival is the only certainty.*

Setting

The world above has been overrun by the drow, who emerged from their subterranean realms with advanced magic, tactics, and a thirst for vengeance. Humanity, once the dominant force, now scrambles to survive in the shadow of its new overlords.

Genre/Tone

A dark fantasy setting interwoven with post-apocalyptic elements, where survival, intrigue, and rebellion define daily life. The tone is grim and suspenseful, with moments of eerie beauty in the drow's otherworldly culture.

Time Period

Set in a distant future where the remnants of modern civilization have fused with ancient, magical traditions. The drow's return marks an end to humanity's technological golden age, plunging the world into a neo-medieval era.

Key Factions/Groups

- Drow Matriarchal Clans: Dominated by powerful female spellcasters who enforce strict hierarchy and control. - Human Resistance: Fractured groups of rebels seeking to undermine drow rule. - Surface Collaborators: Humans who have allied with the drow for protection or power. - Drow Outcasts: Rebels or exiles from drow society, often hunted by their own kin. - Ancient Machines: Semi-sentient remnants of humanity's old world, occasionally awakening to defend or destroy.

Major Conflicts

- Humanity's fight for freedom against drow rule. - Power struggles within drow clans over territory and influence. - Tension between surface collaborators and rebel factions. - The reactivation of ancient technology that could tip the scales of power. - Struggles within drow society as outcasts and sympathizers challenge the matriarchy.

Primary Locations

- Subterranean Citadels: The sprawling, ornate drow cities beneath the surface. - Ruined Human Metropolises: Overgrown, decayed cities now used as battlegrounds or drow outposts. - Rebel Enclaves: Hidden camps and bunkers where humanity plots its resistance. - Magic-Charged Wastelands: Regions scarred by drow spells, filled with strange phenomena. - Ancient Vaults: Sites housing pre-drow technology, fiercely contested by all factions.

Cultural Notes

- The drow revere their matriarchs as semi-divine beings, celebrated in rituals and symbols of moonlight and darkness. - Drow art combines functionality and sinister beauty, often incorporating bioluminescence. - Drow children undergo harsh trials to prove their worth and loyalty to their clan. - Humans who serve the drow often adopt drow customs, creating a hybrid culture in some areas.

Social Dynamics

Drow society is rigidly hierarchical, with matriarchs at the top, followed by female enforcers, male warriors, and laborers. Surface society is fragmented, with humans either resisting, collaborating, or adapting to drow rule, creating an atmosphere of mistrust and desperation.

Types of Drow
