Why are Eilistreeean drow still matriarchal?

>>95841471 (OP)
Because Ed Greenwood loves femdom, deal with it vanillafag.

Because Vhaeraun is the only good (in: actually making sense) drow god, but we are not allowed to have nice things.

>>95841516
Isn't Vhaeraun just the god of misogyny?

>>95841486
based

>>95841471 (OP)
mostly because she's a fertility god and getting men into being part of the clergy / upper society would take some time but her end goal is like equality and freedom etc?

>>95841540
I thought he just believed in drow supremacy instead of female drow supremacy. Did they change that in 4e or 5e?

>>95841554
Also almost certainly the actual reason.

>>95841585
In 2e and 3e, Vhaerun cults were definitely facto anti-female. Vhaerun himself doesn't care, which puts him in the role for decades facto egalitarian, which puts him in the role of de facto "masculist".

>>95841471 (OP)
even if they're considerably nicer than normal drow they're still drow and a matriarchal leadership is a well-established norm for them.
Also post more eilistreean sluts

>>95844001
>sluts

>>95844728
Sorry I meant loyal and rightous followers of her lunarlit holiness

>>95841471 (OP)
In S&D 5e elves can magically change gender on a whim anyway, so it probably comes down to who actually WANTS to be in charge.

>>95844978
You could have just called them bitchs and it would have been more accurate.

>>95841471 (OP)
Because women are better than men at everything. Deal with it.

>>95841471 (OP)
Because women are hot and men are not

>>95844001
>>95844978

Wait, wait! Why is she dressed? Isn't Eilistraee a sort of exibitionist goddess dancing always naked? Probably caused by unresolved daddy-issue?

>>95841516
>>95841540
>>95841585
The cool thing about Vhaeraun is he's the god of ELF supremacy, not just drow. He wants all the elf subraces to be friends again so they can take over the world together and make humans, dwarves, and all other inferior races eat shit

>>95845915
eilistreean drow aren't obliged to be naked 24/7, only during religious rituals

>>95845915
how would it be daddy issues, dude, it's mommy issues all the way down

>>95849951
All hot women should be obligated to be naked 24/7. They only exist for decoration and for men's pleasure anyway.

>>95841471 (OP)
They have to make the religion appealing to drow somehow

>>95850004
>mommy issues all the way down
What are some examples of mommy issues?
I’m trying to create a not!drow society in my setting.

>>95849951
I think possibly my single favorite piece of FR lore is that there can be male priests of Eilestraee, but they have to turn into women to do naked moonlight dances.

>>95841471 (OP)
women are bigger and stronger and more assertive. it's just biology.

>>95850205
My favorite piece of lore is the canonical flavor profile of drow breast milk.

>>95850115
Extreme pleb opinion. Clothed body is nearly always sexier than bare naked one. Clothes are a tool, they help you highlight the good parts and hide the faults.

>>95850205
Not the mandatory orgies in the Silverymoon royal court? Alustriel is somewhere in that 600 person pile of heaving flesh, if you want an audience, go find her and make her cum and then she'll talk to you.

>>95850706
Not that drow kill each other in the womb like sharks and that apparently gives their mom orgasms?

>>95851997
I don't think Greenwood has gotten around to telling us what Drow fetal chum tastes like, and to be completely honest, I don't really care if he ever does.

>>95845006
Only very few elves can do that not all of them
And they view it as a blessing because Corellon can do it

Also pretty sure the whole 'Eilistraee being matriarchal' got retcon'd ages ago
She has a pretty good relationship with her dad and despises her mother so her copying Lolths system is illogical

>>95846462
Which is ironic because unlike his sister, he and Corellon don't see eye to eye
>Plus he raped that one wild elf goddess so badly she had to merge with another goddess to survive
>And then gave birth to Selvetam

Weird to think the elven god is technically the 'father' of the dark seldarine
>Also technically shouldn't it be lolth Larethian, Vhaeraun Larethian and Eilistraee Larethian?

>>95841486
>>95841554
femdom is vanilla

>>95852802
Femdom is just gay with extra steps.

>>95852906
only when there's a strap-on involved

>>95852794
>>Plus he raped that one wild elf goddess so badly she had to merge with another goddess to survive
>>And then gave birth to Selvetam
hot

>>95851997
That bit of lore is on par with Berserk (manga) as "so edgy it's just retarded and funny".

Drow were never matriarchal.
They were a fetish.

>>95852974
>>95851997
Chad-zak is a grey hawk invention
Grey hawk is like forgotten realms edgier brother
>I never see anyone mention grey hawk anymore
This one tidbit is I think it of a magazine which name I forgot, but vault of the Drow was in it too and some other things

>>95852906
anything other than topping another man is gay, really

>>95852943
true

>>95852906
Controversial opinion: any sex act between a man and a woman is straight.

>>95852988
And that's a good thing!

>>95850205
Ed Greenwood MUST be stopped.

>>95853168
Nah, the beta cucks getting railed by their femdom are just gays in denial.

>>95841471 (OP)
They wanted a good Drow group, since they couldn't have Drow just being bad race now.

>>95850115
Nah. Clothes that occasionally expose the nipple while they move is 10x hotter than just nakedness.

Anyway in RPG terms I would grant such clothes +1 on Sex Appeal checks (using GURPS rules of course). I more pleb-like systems like D&D5e I guess +2 on charisma skills used for seduction.

>>95854960
>now

>>95851028
Tbh that's why the goddess and her most powerful servants should be naked while the lower ranks hide their weakness and imperfections with clothes.

what the FUCK does half-drow look like

>>95855433
Dunno but hope they're female and sexo

>>95855433
depends on what the non-drow other parent is
some of them look nearly identical to drow, some have pink-ish skin, some have brown skin
the only thing which seems constant is dark(er) skin and white hair
and even then there are some white half-drow
>and then there's Endrenn Allerendris who is a half-drow and has brown-ish hair and a normal skin-color
or you just look at those on this list
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Half-drow

>>95855476
why are they so inconsistent!?!

>>95855534
well, you know how a half-elf can either be like with a wood elf or a high elf or any other sort of elf?
the same can be said about drow but just with more variety
>like human, which come in different shades, elves, any type, or some weird ass demon summoned from wherever Lolth lives at the moment

>>95855433
like a normal drow but with surface values

Drow are so sexy and cool.

>>95856777
trips of trvth

>>95845915
Yes, but they changed the lore for 5E because good things aren't allowed in modern D&D

>>95851028
Which is why classic eilistrae drow partially cover themselves using hairstyles.

>>95856964
that picture is from a line up of drow priests/clerics
they don't run around naked 24/7
they just do it at nights during mess

>>95857137
>they don't run around naked 24/7
Well, except Eilistraee herself. Knowing that she used to wear clothes before the drow and dark seldarine got banished by Corellon, and that she ripped off her clothes and snapped her bow while running after them makes it hotter though.

Eilistrae is the worst possible combination of traits: a matriarchal cunt, but not a bad bitch like lolth. Just as controlling and manipulative and cunty as lolth, but not honest or sexy about it because she's "empowered" and "progressive".

Basically, your average priestess of Ellistreetwalker would be pic related.

>>95856777
Drow are having a revival of sorts now and I'm all for it.

Since BG3 nobody can shut the fuck up about drow at my gaming club.

>>95857320
Lolthite (or worse, Vhaerauncel) propaganda. Eilistraee has always been the opposite of cunty.

>>95857380
Forcibly transitioning men (like what Anisa did to Ian) is pretty cunty my guy.

Also pretty funny you cry incel at the slightest criticism, since that's also what this bint does.

>>95857393
Transitioning men is not cunty but a trad chad hobby in the Realms, pioneered by Elminster himself.
Also if Vhaerauncels stopped Vhaeraunceling they wouldn't be called such (even though Eilistraee has never done that either).

>>95857477
>n-nuh uh, c-chudcel!
I accept your concession.

>>95857509
Vhaerauncels are elves and elves can't be chuds.

>>95857615
>still throwing a BPD tanty
I accept your concession.

>>95857674
Vhaerauncels can however be autistic.

>>95857137
Are we talking about eilistrae drow or just drow settlements run by eilistrae drow?
Non-clerics are not eilistrae drow, they're just vanilla drow living in eilistrae-run settlements. They can participate in her rituals, but they aren't of eilistrae.

>>95857393
Men aren't supposed to be participating in elistrae clerical rituals. It was male drow that decided transitioning was a loop-hole.

>>95857802
Eilistraee drow usually keep their clothes on when interacting with non-eilistraeeans, although Qilue Veladorn supposedly did scandalous stuff (like nude dancing) at high society parties in Waterdeep to troll the nobles.

>>95857859
The only vhaeraunites who actually get harems are the Jaezred Chaulssin patriarchs who get them because they're fucking half-dragons, you have been bamboozled my friend.

>>95857859
You have to wait to die and then you get a harem of 72 formerly Lolthite drow technical virgins who will be immensely grateful to you for sparing them from the terror of Lolth.

so you're saying I can't find am Eilistreeean drow gf to run around my house naked?

>>95857994
I think you may have to pick between the naked drow GF and having a house since many Eilistraeeans are outdoor nudists. You might get someone like Qilue and luck out.

>>95857994
You're just gonna have to find a regular manic pixie dream girl LARPer and paint her black.

>>95857859
the harpers don't want you to know this but drow women are literally free. You just have to to to the underdark and take as many as you like

Drow, just like the rest of the elves, are only good for one thing: an axe to their face.

>>95853003
Greyhawk drow are just way cooler than FR muh-light-femdom fetish drow could ever hope to be.

>>95858541
Big titty elves are an abomination.

>>95859402
These are drow. Big titties are the default and have been since the Old old days.

>>95859481
imagine being a flat drow, not able to meet the bare minimum of drow beauty

>>95860778
Drow hierarchy is also partly based on breedability. Notice how the drow sitting on the throne has the biggest ass and tits? That's lore accurate.

>>95859402
wrong.

>>95858541
Those are actually lies made up from lolthsworn Drow so they can get brain dead gooners to sacrifice
The average female Drow gets trained as a cleric and can easily paralyze you and turn you into a slave or greed you to their battle lizard

>>95841471 (OP)
>Why are Eilistreeean drow still matriarchal?
Because they're all bitches anyway

>>95861484
>greed you
????

>Vhaeraun
I always wondered if he gets the short end of the stick in all post 2e writings because the most impactful decision he ever made was raping Zandilar the Dancer to near death and inadvertently creating Sharess as a result, who is a goddess that in the post 3e world, WotC would also prefer to forget.

>>95854044
Absolutely not. That's some of the first trans-inclusive gaming literature and he's a hero for having written it. More authors should be so brave.

>>95857320
It's okay because coom.

>>95861617
Is that really the representation trannies want? Turning into beautiful, desirable dark elf women and doing magic dance rituals under the full moon?

>>95861484
skill issue. I said it was free, not effortless. If you can't defeat, instant_loss a low-to-mid cleric that's your problem and you don't deserve a drow wife

>>95860800
But which is the direction of causation? Does breedability lead to status, or are high status drow able to become more breedable?

Imagine a world where a drow woman's breasts and hips grow as she advances through the social ranks.

>>95861617
I know you're trolling, but it isn't trans representation at all. The male priests are only transforming temporarily; they are not women born in the wrong bodies assuming their "correct" forms.

>>95861781
Yes.

>>95857859
>most elves surprisingly not cool with becoming a harem wife of genocide against lesser creatures
Your problem is that the elves most engaged in genocide consider drow to be lesser creatures. High elves actually have around ten times the drow kill count and engaged in multiple successful genocides plus at least ones fucked over the whole of Toril.

>>95861484
Average female drow is a raider/ganger or at best owner of some plantation with slaves. It's nobles who get to train as clerics. Even Menzoberronzan with its sprawling noble houses has most of population being "peasants".

>>95841471 (OP)
They stopped being so in later editions. Source: I have an Ellistraen obsessed player in my group who goes deep into her lore when someone says something incorrect about her.

>>95862075
>at best owner of some plantation with slaves

>>95863518
That's clearly not vore.
She's obviously just put on weight from eating too much surface food. It's liable to happen to drow since they're used to eating nothing but mushrooms and cave-mold. Give them a taste of actually tasty food and they can't contain themselves.

>>95864233
Drow canonically love the feeling of things struggling and dying within them, they're the canon vore race.

>>95864305
no they love the feeling of their fetuses eating each other in the womb. They're the canon mindbroken by constant pregnancy race

>sexy and dangerous chaotic evil enemy race you pop a boner to while slaying
>edgy and exotic tsun waifus that demand moral flexibility
Make up your goddamn minds already.

>>95853168
What if that woman has a penis?

>>95854044
Not even the Grim Reaper himself starving for Ed Greenwood's coomer soul will keep Ed from hearing the horny questions of FR fans to know the explicit details of FR coomery.

>>95845915
That's the censored version. There's an uncensored version in the elf thread at /aco/

If you promise nude dancing and it's a bunch of dudes it's going to hurt recruitment.
Also try telling even the rare weird drowesses that would even consider detecting that they're going to have to follow what a male drow says, catastrophic optics

>>95869522
That might be true for noble female drow, but don't pleb female drow have to obey noble males in Menzoberranzan already?

>>95869569
No. The highest male is still technically below the lowest ranking female.
While technically a low ranking grunt trying to order around a matriarch's thrall will get them flayed alive and a thrall of a matriarch can pretend his charge is the one giving the orders, but that's a very thin amount of power and the male will get executed if caught publicly.

>>95866747
Why not both? It's not like all drow are carbon copies of the same person. Evil has a lot of variety to it.

>>95868201
Just checked the elf thread. Didn't see pic.

Will check again in about 20 minutes.

>>95851050
Please elaborate.

so the drow women that don't have an affinity for magic, and aren't priestesses where do they fit in the hierarchy?

>>95874404
elite soldiers, temple guards, accountants, higher end craftspeople, investors, business people and merchants

basically they get all the high status jobs because their society is so slanted to their benefit

>>95841471 (OP)
because culture is downstream from genetics, you can take the drow out of matriarchy but you ant take matriarchy out of the drow

>>95871760
Look again, somewhere around post 8781400

>>95874799
which drow women become entertainers, slutty entertainers?

>>95875951
It's kind of a shame Salvatore changed this specifically for Menzo and 4e basically made it the default.

But looking back at 2e where Qilue is described as looking like a typical Drow matron as a 6-ft tall statuesque mind blowingly hot chick really was a good reminder that Drow women are supposed to be bigger and stronger than the men, even if only marginally.

Also back then it was outright said that Drow are just one of the most physically attractive races because they practice eugenics.

In one of the books, a former priestess is forced to work in a brothel and ruling houses turn a blind eye since it is a punishment and also a way for some of the more useful males to burn off aggression and stress

There is probably some drow slaves working in that industry as well

Also a lot of commoners who are in it for the money and/or because it is their fetish, but there will be limits on what you can get away with with them

There is also a festhall in Menzoberranzan that uses carefully preserved zombie strippers

>>95882066
And yeah, probably a lot of half-drow, elves, half-elves, and whatever other hot non-drow can be captured and trained

Best drow women are Vhaeraunite traitor priestesses. They pretend to be loyal to Lolth but serve a male drow god. They probably are kinky femsubs.
>>95841516
true

>>95906108
Vhaerauns is the most nonsensical of the Drow pantheon. Maledom goes against their biology, it's no wonder the most relevant Vhaeraunite faction (Jaezred Chaulssin) is not even led by real drow but shadow dragon shapeshifters.

>>95841471 (OP)
different type of femdom
lolth is cbt, chastity, orgasm denial, cuckoldry, pegging(forced)
eilistraee is mommydom, nursing handjobs, milking, leglock, pegging(consensual)

>>95861766
>It's okay because coom.
How am I supposed to coom to this?

>>95908322
4 out of 5 for Eilistraee
0 out of 5 for Lolth
Guess Dark Seldarine can bite it.

Where do futas rank on the matriarchal hierarchy?
Surely they exist given how magical realm-y FR is.

>>95908625
As far as I know futas are too degenerate for even Graz'zt. Maybe Yeenoghu could work as the patron of futadom.

>>95908625
they're not really happy about it
and when they figure it out, they'll sacrifice them to lolth

>>95908671
What about in Eilistraee's reckoning?

>>95908694
probably individual choice on whether they are societally male or female

>>95908625
iirc, because of how Corellon is, some elves randomly have the ability to swap sex. It can happen to Drow too, but because it's from Corellon specifically, the Lolthites hate it.

>>95908645
>>95908671
>>95908747
>>95908797
I'm just trying to figure out if Eilistraeean futadom gangbangs are canon. I think they would be but I'm not sure.

>>95908625
no troon.

>>95908882
Hey, relax man, I'm just trying to understand the lore. Besides, I don't like trannies trying to co-opt a perfectly respectable fetish with their self-mutilation cult, so I'd prefer if you didn't lump me in with them, alright?

No it's not alright

>>95908797
Jeremy, pls.

>>95906108
>They pretend to be loyal to Lolth but serve a male drow god. They probably are kinky femsubs.
hot

personally I think it's important to be clear that Eilistreean drow are still drow and despite being ostensibly good they're going to be wary, clever and absolutely ruthless if push comes to shove

>>95916436
you can trust an elf though

>>95908816
>Futadom
No, it would be more like a free love orgy.

>>95908322
So lolth would be very fun as a freaky one-off but in practice you'd be stuck there forever against your will, while eilistraee would be better and healthier in the long term. That makes sense.

>>95908322
Drow are my fetish buffet.

>>95917320
I only like the exhibitionism, but Wood Elves can do that too without the femdom

>>95916488
could you though? Really?

>>95853003
It was distinctly in one of the Drizzt books though.

>>95859211
True. Way less lore though, everything just revolves around Erelheicinlu.

>>95921352
IIRC that was different, with matron Malice using the pain from giving birth to fuel her spells. Still weird pregnancy-related drow stuff, but not them getting orgasms from the fetuses killing each other in the womb.

>>95921517
>>95921352
'birth magic' is also used by Cattie-Bri, really powerful magic
I think they use the child as Arcane Focus?

>>95841471 (OP)
Regular elves tend to be matriarchal too, they just aren't as uptight and bitchy about it as the drow, and it doesn't seem so obvious since their chief god is still a standard Divine Patriarch archetype.

>>95853003
Chad-zak was from a drow article in Dragon #298, which was also celebrating the initial release of the Book of Vile Darkness.

total drow domestication

who has better cooking, Drow or wood elves?

>>95925126
Drow noble food would be probably really fancy and complex preparations of what limited edible things they can harvest or grow underground, and those edgy fucks would develop jaded palettes over time, so a taste in truly bizarre shit would be a marker of age and social status. If you're a commoner, I hope you like fucking mushroom soup, and maybe some roast of less choice rothe bits for special occasions.
Are wood elves vegetarians? If not there'd be lots of homey, comfort food style shit like venison stew seasoned with wild herbs and vegetables. It's probably better then what drow eat.
(I haven't read any D&D lore in probably 15 years and I'm pulling this out of my ass)

>>95882060
Imagine having centuries worth of periods. Also, when would they hit menopause, and how long would their periods last? It would suck if drow had to spend weeks or even months on the rag.

>>95925188
D&D Drow have the same fertility rates as human females, which by elf standards is monstrously hyper-fertile. This was an evolutionary necessity(read: Divine intervention from llolth) given how fucking psychotically murderous they are.

>>95925188
>>95925231
There's no reason why elf periods would last longer than humans, since periods are just what happens when the body ejects the outer layer of uterus lining when an egg cell has attached to it but hasn't been fertilized. Though assuming elves go through menopause and have the same number of eggs as humans, that would explain why regular elves have such low fertility rates. They might only ovulate once a year in order to make that same amount of eggs last centuries. Meanwhile drow have adapted to ovulate at a rate similar to humans (possibly more if we go by the lore they usually have multiples), meaning they can reproduce much faster but also hit menopause at the same time as humans. That would make drow women infertile for most of their natural lifespan, but very few drow actually live anywhere close to their natural lifespan anyway.

>>95926896
Drow wouldn't likely have menopause, unless it was left over from ancestral elfness. Menopause is thought to promote family units by encouraging older females not to compete with younger females, and instead to help raise young more communal.

What even happens to the drow fetuses that get killed during chad-zak? Do the other fetuses eat them or they get absorbed into the mother's body, or does every pregnant drow just have a bunch of dead fetuses floating in her womb that she'll birth along with the live one?

>>95927156
their souls could make for a particularly edgy type of undead

It's like if Maiesta RPG got crossed over with Shadow of the Demon Lord or something.

Drow would be better at cooking or at least more snobby about their food
wood elves just eat whatever they can find in the woods
I'm not even sure they actually do any agriculture
>Silvanus provides or some BS

>>95926896
there's no reason for elves to have a flawed system like periods to begin with

>>95928052
And there's no reason for a flawed gender like women to exist, but you sure seem to like looking at them for some reason.

>>95841471 (OP)
Women are superior beings

>>95855534
In one of the old TSR novels, (I think in the Starlight and Shadows trilogy about Liriel Baenre), a Vhaerunite priestess revealed that Vhaerunian devotees keep elven concubines of any elven subtype..and that in drow hybrid offspring, the drowish traits are always dominant.
So, inevitably drow mix offspring give rise to effectively pure-drow descendants as they interbreed.

>>95941249
Vhaerunite _priest_, rather. Had just read the comment on traitor-priestesses and had a see/type issue.

>>95862045
Fecundity is seen as a sign of Lolth's favor. Barrenness is seen as revocation of all prior favor. Thats why the Lolthite high noble's title in the nobility is 'Matron' and head of house is 'Matron Mother'

>>95941249
>>95941254
also here

>>95922001
'The Spider's Kiss', where a female drow kills her stud as he orgasms, is canonical, in S&S.

>>95925184
They import surface foods as luxuries as well, especially fruit, cheese, spices, shelled nuts, vegetables, meats and flour. There are whole caravans devoted to the trade in 'Daughter of the Drow'.

>>95867752
is it a feminine penis?

>>95921517
That last panel is terrible exposition and absurd edgy signaling.
All of this wouldn't be said among Drows who know the custom and agree.

>>95948406
Yeah, but Zaknafein doesn't agree. The core of his character was his dissatisfaction with Drow custom.

>>95908257
no

>>95948539
Oh okay nevermind then. The last bubble out of context sounded like he agreed and was explaining their thoughts to the reader through the 4th wall.

>>95948539
Zak is a gigachad. I haven't read those books in 20 years but I heard recently that he got revived, and when e found out Drizzt banged a human, he asked why he was into bestiality. Based.

>>95948668
No, it doesn't. It's clearly sarcastic. I've never read the comic, but his dour facial expression, implicit rejection of Lolth, her rebuking dialogue, his insistence on drawing attention to the child despite his literal words minimizing it, all of that should have made his tone incredibly clear to you.

>>95953299
>tfw you need to explain this shit to literal autists

>>95841471 (OP)
because none of them know who their father is

>>95953299
Written sarcasm is never clear.
Everything you said could be attributed to bad drawing and writing. His dour facial expression can simply be the lack of emotion of a "badass" Drow, his implicit rejection of Lolth is made unclear by his explicit acceptance of the sacrifice, and I assumed him drawing attention to the child while minimizing its sacrifice was the author's intention to draw the attention of readers to how evil drows are transposed to a random character he bad under his hand, even if it doesn't fit.

I considered sarcasm but sarcasm wouldn't hit a moral blindspot, it should fly over the head of Bryza who would unironically agree and not even see how a newborn boy would be more important than the ambitions of her House. And there would be no point in being sarcastic to someone that wouldn't get it which is why I assumed it wasn't and it was just bad exposition.

But I guess Bryza can be aware of outsiders' way of thinking and understand that they find child sacrifice to their goddess shocking.

>>95955275
The story with Zaknafein is that the house leadership kew he's not into the Lolth cult but they kept him around since he's a fighting autist.

>>95852802
this

>>95948668
He literally says YOUR dark god, overtly implying he doesn't believe any of this bullshit even if you ignore his massive fucking scowl and all the sarcasm

>>95955275
>Everything you said could be attributed to bad drawing and writing
If you're retarded, maybe.

>>95921517
Bottomless armor with thigh high boots/greaves and a little loincloth suspended from the breastplate is an underrated subtype of cheesecake armor.

drow women are for mindbreaking into happy mothers that love to cuddle with their (male and female) children

>>95956285
It's funny when you think about it. Because why a drow male would EVER want to worship Lolth, the goddess that actively hates them?
I think it's been a running joke that Lolth is the worst deity ever and only has worshippers because of her plot armor.

>>95853168
Faggot.

>>95922001
That whole article is so excessively edgy, it's a miracle that chad-zak is the only thing from it that people bring up. It portrays drow society, which was already so treacherous it was hard to take seriously, as some kind of freak fusion of Dark Eldar and the Cult of Rakdos, a masochistic horror show where pain and death is both worshipped and celebrated, and dying of old age is seen as more shameful than getting murdered or sacrificed.

It's fucking demented, and everyone should read it at least once, just so they know that none of it could ever be canon to any published setting.

>>95962264
And according to FR books, Lolth protects male drow like Drizzt who actively work against her despite the fact it fucks over her worshippers because lolchaos.

>>95961589
I just like how huge the artist drew the pregnant matron's belly. Though drow cheesecake is good as well.

>>95963458
Yeah, the artist was very good with that

It must be comfy to be born as drow woman, imagine the amount of male servants you would have, any male would be your simp by default.

>>95852802
I'd rather argue that femdom is a spectrum with a large overlap with vanilla, ranging from "the woman takes most of the initiative in an otherwise normal relationship" to "leather clad dominatrix has a harem she lines up so she can stomp on their balls with her high heels on the way to her (human) toilet and back". If a wife gets a promotion and starts outearning her husband, meaning he in turn has to take care of more household tasks, is that femdom or just a functional marriage adjusting to changing circumstances? Or both?

>>95962264
You day that as if half the spineless simps in these threads and those faggy muscle mommy dommy ladyknight threads wouldn't gladly sell their soul to a STRAWNG, INDEPENDENT GODDESS OF COLOR like Lolth if it meant even the chance of getting a crumb of pussy, even just during a ritual sacrifice

>>95970191
Anyone who says shit like this is a homosexual.

>>95970238
See what I mean? This lil homo is THE PEGGED and trying to defend it.

>>95969551
doesn't the only 2 sons rule mean that there would be way more women than men? you'd just be some seething femcel working the mushroom field while noble St'a'cy gets her harem

>>95971474
That's just for nobles, and any male commoner can be elevated to a noble house to be a fuckbuddy - this is how Zaknafein became a Do'Urden.

>>95926896
All this has happened before, and it will happen again...

>>95925188

>>95972136
why does the woman on the right with earring and tits have a moustache?

>>95921517
is that comic supposed to be pro-life? bet the author was cancelled for implying a strong independant womans ambition is less important than a male child

>>95974588
Anon, I have bad news for you.

Also it's clearly intended to be outlining of her lips, you obtuse jackass.

>>95841486
holy based

>>95974588

>>95971474
If St'a'cy of house O'nlee'Fanz hoards all the attention and obedience of drow males on underweb, you can always go to surface. The pathetic surface dwellers would be easy to enslave.

>>95974588
That's just some unfortunate shading on his shirt, he's just a skinny dude.

>>95975758
...? It's a comic adaptation of R.A. Salvatore's Homeland, you tertiary. It was published in 2006 and the book it's based on was published in 1990.

I don't know what Salvatore's stance on abortion is. I can tell you that the only reason Drizzt isn't killed immediately after being born is because his brother Dinin was killed by his other brother Nalfein moments earlier, meaning that Drizzt was no longer the third living son and thus Lolth did not demand his sacrifice.

I'm reasonably certain drow society as a whole is pro-choice, with the caveat that at any time Lolth may randomly tell you you've made the wrong one and then turn you into a spider, which are sacred to her, as a punishment.

>>95926896
>(possibly more if we go by the lore they usually have multiples)
That lore is one badly-written article. All the actual novels and books don't describe drow reproducing any faster than you might expect other elves to.

Malice Do'Urden has six kids over five centuries of life, with Drizzt being the last her body is capable of producing, and this is considered an unuusally high number.

Matron Mother Yvonnel Baenre I had twenty kids over 2,000 years of life, but she was expressly only capable of doing so due to Lolth's blessings. It was, even still, considered absolutely absurd.

>>95975939
NTA but it looks like a moustache to me too and I can't unsee it.

>>95974588
>>95975939
I legit thought the one on the right was just a particularly zesty dude.

Though now that you mention it, the black girl with the double chin also seems to have a mustache.

>>95978216
which makes their society if constantly killing each other, dying to monsters, being sacrificed and dying to adventurers make no sense.
They have to beat that attrition rate somehow

>>95978216
This can all be explained in universe as offspring only counting as "viable" if they survive to adulthood, since most of them will die or fall to the side as they grow in Drow society.

>>95978216
>Malice Yvonnel Maya
It is a bit weird how we sometimes have drow with 'normal sounding' names and then we get like Jarlaxle and Gromph
I am still not sure what Yvonnel thought when she named him Gromph- that's not a name you'd expect for an elf
it sounds like something you'd call a very grumpy orc
not a dark elf wizard

>>95964911
>matron malice
drow are cringe

>>95978216
Malice was considered unusually unfertile despite having a turbo charged libido even by drow standards.

A lot of drow wait until their position is relatively secure before having kids, but even then usually have around 10
