(Similarly I am really hoping for one day for a fic of an Elf who chooses to follow Lolth and by her decree becomes a Drow. That would throw the matrons for a spin.)
A couple of things... For one thing, not all of the elven deities would accept a drow follower. For another, most drow would prefer a drow deity -- an elf deity isn't going to have the same empathy for a drow worshipper that a drow deity would, and this is going to be even more noticable with the elven followers of that deity. Lastly, even for good-aligned drow, they've been raised being told how evil the elves are, and how the drow are condemned to live underground because of that evil and the evil of the Seldarine. If a particular drow has never met an elf and thus doesn't know whether this is true or false, then what's going to make him reach out to a deity responsible for "punishing" his race and who has such evil followers? |
