Usage Notes:

Many of the Drow words and phrases appearing below are excerpts from "The Drow of the Underdark" by TSR, Inc., and other authorized AD&D sources. In the sections, COMMON TO DROW and DROW TO COMMON, these words are displayed in ALL CAPS. The remaining Drow words and phrases have been compiled, developed, and ammended to this dictionary by the Temple of Lloth ("TOL") and the city of Velkyn-Tirith ("CVT"). This dictionary may be distributed through licensed TSR sites and used in connection with any AD&D role-playing activity. However, both TOL & CVT request that no alterations or additions be made to this dictionary without consulting either Legora (Legora@) or Mavralyn (msmart@).

This dictionary has been compiled and prepared for in dealing with other races and as a guide for other races in the proper dealings with the Drow. To facilitate such use, the majority of this Dictionary has been translated into Common. Any Drow allowed contact with other races should have received training in proper conduct elsewhere, thus no effort has been made to supplement such training here. Non-Drow are advised to pay heed to these Usage Notes. Many Drow societies welcome mutually profitable or pleasurable dealings with other races or societies. However, the Drow are a justly proud people and are quick to take offense, often fatal offense, at what they perceive to be insults or breaches of etiquette.

You have been warned.
