Most
drow wear a magical, shielding cloak, called a “piwafwi”. Under its collar,
most drow wear a neck-purse. In it, noble drow carry their house insignia.
Commoners will carry a black medal medallion denoting the house they serve,
of the merchant clan they belong to.
In the streets
of a drow city, house insignia are usually displayed openly (as adornments)
only by the members and servants of the “First House” (most dominant family)
of the city. Insignia of lesser houses can be seen on the walls or gates
of their strongholds, and are often worn openly inside such strongholds.
The house insignia
if nobles that the form of distinctive sculpted images, often equipped
for use as brooches. All carry several magical powers - minor abilities
known in detail only to members of the House.
