The Drow Nation of Myddian

Located off the southwest shores of Ascentia, the Drow Nation of Myddian exists on a string of volcanic islands, across the Shattered Channel from the human Kingdom of Delmar. The largest island, is home to the Myddian capital city, Urden Tyyr, located within the dormant tunnels of a long slumbering volcano.

Traditionally, this matriarchal society prefers their subterranean existence, however, there does exist amongst their kind, a rebellion group of sorts, known to humanity as the Black Ship Raiders, a band of surface dwelling Drow that have taken to the seas, and to piracy as a means of survival. The High Matron of Myddian, is a stern, highly feared female of impressive reputation as a cunning, and brilliant tactician, known to her people as Matron Mother Nepharri Veritana. She rules her realm with an iron will, and her word is without question, law within her lands.

Without a doubt, the most controversial aspect of the relationship that exists between the Human Kingdom of Delmar and the Drow Nation of Myddian, is the polar opposite of their belief structures. While the humans have embraced the Triad, representing the relatively peace loving deities of Earth, Life and Order, the Drow have taken it upon themselves, to worship almost exclusively within their borders, the deity known to the human race as Necrosys, her name being synonymous with death. Though there has been relative peace in recent years amidst the two nations, there is a lingering tension that exists between them as pirate forces on both sides ignore political desires, striking without care upon both nations coastal shipping routes, forever keeping the proverbial fingers pointing in accusation at the other.

When one attempts to go about describing the relationship between the Drow of Myddian and their cousins, the Elves of Eldurin, the image below speaks volumes.
