The
most dangerous of drow, and the most likely to be encountered along outside
of their Underdark communities (as opposed to fighting bands) are wizards.
Drow wizards, especially males, are often driven into exile out of fear
at the treatment they expect from those of rival Houses, jealous priestesses,
and the angered authority of Lolth.
Dark elven
wizards often become or accompany merchants, dealing with the surface world
where their magic serves to protect and disguise them. Their endless need
for more magical knowledge and spell components drives them into lots of
adventuring, or the frequent hiring of professional explorers.
Some unusual familiars can appear in
the company of these folk. Drow wizards favor watchspiders and hunting
spiders as familiars, but more often employ snakes, spitting crawlers,
pedipalpi, solifugids, and all manner of spiders, instead. The really fortunate
ones acquire the companionship of an azmyth.
