Darius, your like, the only person with Drow characters. ^^ I don't think I could do it. Mine'd just wind up being hyper and leaving people with "O-O" looks on their faces, lol.

[Silvaris]

Do Martoq Drow have innate darksight like the Forgotten Realms Drow?
Or do they require magics?

[Darius]

Nah, whether Drow see in the dark or not is actually conditional. For instance, some of these cities are ont he surface, which means the next generation of Drows by natural selection will have refined eyesight for daylight instead of darkness. However, pick a Drow under a House that still retains its city in a cavern and they will be more equipped to see in the dark.
