Acolyte Mistellor,
I would have to agree with Senior Scribe Elenim. I think about it as I do an academic with my works in economics: applied versus theory. I have plenty of things I've learned as I was being educated as an economist, however, when you get to work trying to apply it, you get a whole different feel for it, and I think that is where the novels versus the texts (both very relevant of course) are applicable.
I would also recommend Polyhedron magazine #140 where the city of Undreath is discussed with Queen (yep, you heard me right, a Drow Queen) Nathglaryst, some discussions of Ched Nasad, and of course the vast amount of Drow related novels out now, which I believe number thirty-three.
Best regards,

Allow me to recomend my perfered compendium of all things drow, http://drowfortress.cjb.net/ , The Drow Fortress. Within it's walls contains information on Drow culture and society that would rival that of Candlekeep. |

Greetings, kiwidoc...
Don't know if you are still on, but I must say...it is good INDEED to see another lady around these dusty walls.....
Chatting with Alaundo is well and good...but the beard just does NOTHING for me....
Forgive me, I am terribly uncouth....
What's that? Yes Master Alaundo...I'll go back to sweeping the cobwebs off of the ever-cobwebbed ceiling...........sigh......... |

There are several websites out there with onformation on Drow. Dlabraddath, my own site, has a section in the elf site on Dark Elves - http://mythdrannor.hosttoday.co.uk/DlabraddathNet/z-Cormanthyr/Dark%20elves.htm
Go here - http://mythdrannor.hosttoday.co.uk/DlabraddathNet/z-Dlabraddath/portals.htm#Elves for links to The Drow Chambers; The Drow Fortress and The Underdark. |

I agree with kahonen. Though I referred to City of the Spider Queen, it does not really provide the answers Mistellor is looking for. I'm afraid all there is for now are the 3e Core Rule Books and the various references in the 3e Realms products. |

Arion , i couldnt have said it better myself, nothing in the WORLD compares to Homeland in respects of understanding and seeing what the drow are about and how they operate!! |

As helpful as those afore-mentioned core books are, I don't think ANYTHING compares to Salvatore's novels as far as how deeply one can get into the world of the Drow....
Homeland, Starless Night and Siege of Darkness in particular leave no stone unturned.....I always get chills when Matron Baenre intones the line that I think truly defines the Drow: "My sisters...it is good that we never met this day."
I think that it should be made punishable by death for a DM to use Menzoberranzan or Drow in general without having read Homeland at the very least...but, that's just me..... |

There are three excellent sources available for 2nd edition:
"Drow of the Underdark" by Ed Greenwood - it does exactly what it says on the tin.
"Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark" - while not a book about Drow per se, it's a very good book for uderstanding the Drow minset.
"Menzobarranzan" - the boxed set of the main Drow city. I don't believe this is in print anymore but I've seen it on e-bay a few times recently.
For 3rd edition - I think we'll have to wait and see what comes out in the future. |

If you're looking for 3rd edition rules, I wouls suspect that the City of the Spider Queen will hold most of the information you're looking for. Other than that, the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting has a little information in the section of powerfull races. |
