So if they show they mean no harm and will fight against evil relentlessly, will they eventually be accepted topside? Possibly, but it's not set in stone. The infamous Drizzt continued to be viewed with sometimes extreme skepticism long into his lifetime outside of the Underworld.

Hello there, i know one solution: in my first minute on the server (i was playing very kind shield dwarf) i was asked (... or ordered :-)) for help by a drow Ami. In ten minutes after we were both killed by Flaming First soldier and a bunch of crazy .... somebodies. There was RP, short one, i said that i am cleric of Tyr and will not allow to kill that drow. CRAZY PEOPLE: Thats a lie!!! You are not cleric of Tyr!!! BJORL BARRO: *showing Flaming Fist soldier documents that he IS cleric of Tyr* next second dwarf and drow laying dead and every one says *spliting on their corpses* And no one even didnt think that the drow coul have been a spying not for Underdark, but for Baldurs Gate - if she standing with a shield dwarf, who tries to protect her. Maybe bunch of killers and Flaming First Seeker had INT and WIS minus -6? dont know :-)) So - the solution: Meet Yorik from Bremen! Absolutely evil duergar, servant of Ami's drow House!! I garantee you fun now! Ye, and hello to the completely insane Amber Rose, she cant live without one day drow kill and hello to her slave Tourch halfling. Underdark coming, and coming without any mercy to the people above! Thats a resalt of your own actions against one little drow girl. Yes, yes. First time playing evil character, and finding it amasing :-)) i am sure - many more players, who will appear on server firstly as good will become evil, and you will really understand what are DROW RAIDS! (sorry for mistakes, we are from moscow, russia - with love to you all certanly ) First off, Amber didnt kill you Haydel killed your shield dwarf and Nejall killed your druegar. My first encounter with Ami Du'Urden was inside the city spotting her trying to pick Haydels pockets. He follows her out the city and a bunch of people we telling a guard how she had attacked them etc. Your dwarf begins defending her. Ok he may have been a cleric of Tyr, but we dont know that for certain. A well known Paladin of Tyr was there and he didnt know you. Secondly it's bad RP for you being a level 1 cleric to say you are on some special holy mission from the church to protect her. You are not even in the church of Tyr's faction. And if you were, it would just be as an initiate, not some James Bond dwarf conducting infiltration and counter-intelligence Ops into the underdark. Your RP should never assume actions by a well known NPC or faction without DM approval. Hell no we didnt think the drow could be a spy for our side.... It wouldn't happen. And if she was she sure as hell wouldnt be attacking people in the streets and picking their pockets. This is an attempt to cover up terribad RP with outlandish stories. The Flaming Fist protects Baldur's Gate and the Fist doesnt tolerate Drow, why is this so hard to understand? As far as seeing you with my lock in the woods and killing your druegar and Ami. Nejall wouldn't have done that, but your companion, the other halfling said you had enslaved him, he really threw you under the bus there. Plus threatening to put out his other eye is a bad idea. Please note, if you do not want conflict, threatening or insulting characters is not always the best route. I am glad however to see you playing a Druegar with the drow as it does make much more sense.

Ah, Haydel, the only character on the server who can murder anyone he feels like with almost no provocation. I want to know what kind of bribes he's paying to the flaming fist, the amount must be staggering.

I'm new to all of this so please forgive my lack of knowledge, but from what I've read, some races don't always follow the norm. Some drow are good (followers of eilisatree) and some tieflings are good as well. If they haven't done anything, but good.... will they still be judged by what is known of their race? Or will their actions prove otherwise. I mean I understand, at first sight, becoming defensive or suspicious or getting guards to capture and interrogate them. But what if even after all the hate they continue to do good and fight against evil. Will they still be attacked and what not? Sadly the norm has become the exception, IE a bagillion+2 chaotic good drizzt wannabees running around with a bagillion+3 open minded adventurers. Anyhow, yes your companions would see your good deeds and begin to trust you, however don't put it past a drow to do good to gain said trust. But everyone else is still gonna fear/hate/loathe you. Even if they did hear of your deeds, most likely they would assume your some kind of spy. Tieflings are mistrusted but wouldn't be attacked in most settings without provocation. Now if a teifling was to say show up in a 100% human backwoods settlement, he would probably seen as a devil and burned alive if they peasants had the nerve.

*shrugs* Meh. The RP was accurate. No shield/gold dwarf in their right mind would ever associate with a drow unless it was an extremely unique situation. Drow have a long history of battling the dwarfs as they both live underground. And dwarven memories are very, very, very long. For the most part they view themselves as one with their people. If you attack one, you attack them all. Things like overlooking hundreds of years of drow attacks, deaths in their lineage and resources lost is an absolutely ludicrous and unrealistic idea. So please play a dwarf correctly. Besides that, Drow had recently launched a massive attack outside the city of Baldur's gate. Also, naming rules will be out very soon. I'm not sure if DMs will let Miss Do'Urden to keep running around, but that's not my call. And I don't care if you're a drow, duergar, dwarf, elf, halfling or a deep gnome. All the same to me for PVP. Your SR doesn't mean anything. It can be lowered in a heartbeat. Back to work on quests, -JPD I'm sure most dwarfs would be very mistrustful of drow as they are pretty much their racial enemy. Unless they are Drizzt Do'Urden and Bruenor Battlehammer. That's all I have to say about that. Regarding someone having the last name "Do'Urden" - I would say this name is pretty much set in stone in Forgotten Realms Lore. The new ruleset for BG:SCC will probably include no names of existing NPCs to the realms. No Minsc, No Jaheira, No Do'Urdens etc. From my knowledge, the Do'Urden family consisted of 3 sisters, there were no others... and although 2 of the family were accepted into Bregan D'aerthe, they were stripped of their noble house name, leaving that name behind. Hence no children by that name to those drow. And that also came at a later time. As we are set in 1352 currently, I would see no other "Do'Urden" females running around. I would think you might need to revise your current PC background. Instead: How about a former noble from a lesser house of Menzoberranzan, or Ched'Nasad? I have a lot of knowledge in this area (my expertise is probably drow and the Underdark) please shoot me a PM if you need any help. - radium

Some role players like to have an official name from drow families in the realms to make their character feel more like they truly belong. and are apart of the world officially.
Others just want the big family jewels, right at the start, just to make them feel special.
