a blind vampire and her changeling companion ✄
(it's yuri)
This is my favorite canon Drow art there is, it's from 'Menzoberranzan, city of intrigue' and it depicts a mother showing her two daughters Narbondel as the city's archmage lights it up for the day
Most Drow art shows nobles or soldiers being in some sort of conflict or about to ambush someone so it's nice to see simpler moments like this one
I'm really glad this art exists. Fantasy cultures that are purely evil at best feel like lazy world-building to me, even when we don't assume undertones of real-world racism.

"Shadow elves appear much like elves, except for their nearly albino complexion and unusually large ears." The subterranean chaotic shadow elves were D&D's equivalent to AD&D's drow, when the two game systems were being developed separately. (Dave Simons, D&D Creature Catalog, TSR, 1993)
Some days you just can't roll a hit (Terry Dykstra, D&D Rules Cyclopedia, Aaron Allston's single volume compilation of most of the BECMI rules, TSR, 1991)
