Oxhe

The drow are immortal dark elves of Oxhe, an abyssal citadel beneath the world where old pride, secrecy, and resistance to divine harm have hardened into a civilization.

Drow
Drow lineage and homeland.
Oxhe

Oxhe is the dark capital below: a citadel of depth, silence, and controlled mystery. It is not merely hidden from the surface; it is arranged against surface assumptions.

The Dark Below

Drow geography follows descent, tunnels, black halls, underground waters, and chambers where distance is measured by danger rather than open road.

Shadow Lands

The old lore names shadowed territories where the boundaries between drow influence, darkness, and forbidden passage are difficult to separate.

What Shapes the Drow

Immortal Memory

Drow society is shaped by beings who can remember grievances long after other peoples would have become history. Nothing is ever entirely past.

Pride as Armor

Their pride is not decoration. It is a defense against gods, empires, surface pity, and the insult of being misunderstood.

Mystery as Law

In Oxhe, knowledge is controlled because knowledge is power. What is revealed, to whom, and when, is itself a form of governance.
