Whether you grew up in abject poverty or as a member of the merchant class, you quickly learned to be entirely self-reliant because to be otherwise gets you dead. To the nobles of your city, you were barely better than iblith—the drow word for “garbage” used to describe any being which wasn’t drow—and unworthy of any of their attention unless you distinguished yourself in some way, such as through exceptional beauty, mastery of a craft, or simply learning how to read the moods of the matrons and knowing how to provide what they needed or simply when to be out of their way. Of course, gaining the attention of a noble house was also a quick way to find yourself dead.
