A Dark Elf (Low Class) in Dungeons & Dragons refers to a drow who exists at the bottom of drow society, which is typically depicted as a cruel, hierarchical theocracy ruled by the Spider Queen Lolth. Drow are an elven subrace that dwell in the Underdark, known for their dark skin, white hair, and affinity for magic. Their civilization is structured around power, deception, and ruthless ambition.

Low-class drow often belong to weak noble houses, serve as expendable soldiers, or exist as outcasts and slaves. They are frequently subjected to cruelty from higher-ranking drow, especially the ruling matriarchs and priestesses. Males are often considered inferior to females, particularly in societies that revere Lolth. Those without noble lineage have few rights and must constantly struggle to survive, often taking on dangerous tasks or aligning with powerful figures in hopes of rising through the ranks.

Despite their hardships, some low-class drow manage to escape their oppressive society. They may flee to the surface, becoming exiles or mercenaries, or they might find refuge in factions that oppose Lolth, such as the followers of Eilistraee, a goddess who encourages redemption and coexistence with surface elves. Others turn to criminal activities, joining rogue factions or becoming assassins to carve out a place in the treacherous world of the Underdark.

In gameplay, low-class drow characters often start with little social power but possess great potential for growth. Their racial abilities—such as innate spellcasting, superior darkvision, and dexterous agility—make them formidable adventurers, even if their past is marked by struggle. Whether seeking vengeance, freedom, or redemption, a low-class drow’s journey is one of resilience against overwhelming odds.
