There is. Actually, it is linked to just two pages back in this very same thread.Tlantl wrote:coruscadragon wrote:I think it helps to think about it this way: how would you expect people to react if they come face-to-face with a goblin or a bug bear? they're going to shoot first and ask questions later... remember that in the world we're RPing, you don't have a cursor that you can just hover over people to see whether they're hostile or not...
Conversely, since there is no actual lore on the drow, people don't have a history with the race and don't have the same inborn hatred and fear of them. From this perspective anyone who reacts to a member of the dark races using lore from another setting is meta gaming and therefore breaking one of the server's rules of conduct.
Should the players already using drow characters be running around killing, abducting, and enslaving then it's too late. But automatically reacting as if the race already deserves a death sentence might be wrong.
I was also able to find a lot of information regarding drow on the old forums.
Takes all of ten minutes to get a feeling of the situation if you try to look for the information.
From what I understand, drow are barely tolerated because of their past actions. Since some seem to have helped Varana at times, it would appear they are granted certain degree of leniency in their presence within the Empire... and that is it. I doubt Joe Commoner has much love for, according to past incidents, a race of homicidal maniacs with sole interest in their own agenda.
Pressing page back twice in this thread will give you references to many such an example.
