// I was asked by a new Edonil Drow player to please list the places that the Lolthite Drow are banned from. Because the Lolthites are a scary bunch (heh) I can name those places that absolutely require a DM to oversee your attempt to gain access. Remember that other characters may take offence to a Drow's presence, just like a paladin would take offence to a necromancer in any area. However, they must be able to tell you are a Drow -- and not by looking at the name hovering above your characters head or your portait.

Cordor
Kohlingen
Bendir
Winya

Also be aware many characters on the surface prefer the better-safe-than-sorry approach and will indeed attempt PVP with drow characters. I've encountered many more well done PVP encounters than not. That said please remember that the surfacer characters must obey the PVP rules, if not simply screeny and report.

I invite DM's to add/Change the above list.

For convenience of the new people and people who don't PvP oftenor just may not remember all of the details of the PvP rules, here's the relevant links so you know what's going on!

• PvP Rules
• Resurrecting the Dead

Quick addition to the above:

Drow, whether Lolthite or not, are banned from Cordor, Winya and Kohlingen full stop unless they have a signet ring in their possession. Even then however, the permission to enter via the signet ring can be refused or revoked at any time per DM (or in some cases player) discretion. Should you wish to enter these areas without a signet ring or under the context of the role play at the time, alert the DM staff of your intentions. This is for yours and others enjoyment first and foremost.


As a further note, non-Drow Underdark races (ie your Duergar, Svirfs, Shadow Elves and Orogs) aren't blocked from a few of these locations mechanically by the racial gates (yet), however take your entry with a grain of salt: you may just get chopped up in Kohl or shot at Winya for being big, bad or different.


Its the reality of what you signed up for when you decided to play as a character of those races really.

Quick addition to the above quick addition (though it should be obvious).

Drow, whether Lolthite or not, are banned from Winya Ravana, full stop. Even if the drow has a signet ring. No 'unless' or 'however' applies.

Actually, if an Eili priestess is on her Run, (Or the VERY rare priest), they can be admitted to Winya. How far in is up to the Council, but I know of at least two within the last year, and one non-cleric.

Well, yeah, we know there are incredibly rare exceptions, since one of those Runners was yours. But, speaking as a member of said Council, I think that it's probably best to just stick by what I wrote, as written, as a general rule. That infinitesimally small number of drow who wouldn't be killed on sight by the gate guards know who they are; all the rest of you filthy dhaerow can bugger off.

Umm... only we DM's say who the guards would and wouldn't shoot.... or who is or isn't allowed where (OOC'ly speaking). So, as Fierene listed in the beginning, drow should stay out of Cordor, Kohl, Bendir and Winya unless supervised by a DM.

Seeing as how I don't believe this is really up for discussion and is already spelled out clearly enough as it is, I'm going to lock this down.
