Drowtales: Moonless Age is a fantasy manga-style webcomic that ran from 2001 to 2022. It is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and the drow and their internal conflicts and lives are the main focus, more specifically the high-tier political figures and the strife produced from their struggle for power. The various subplots offer Grey-and-Gray Morality, Black-and-White Insanity and Evil Versus Oblivion conflicts, so the work is very cynical in this regard and includes a fair share of violence, gore, angst and emotional trauma. Non-drow races have little screen-time and are not shown in a good light either.The webcomic was originally Kern drawing the events of the RP he and some friends played in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons setting. However, by chapter 4 the comic diverged into both its own story and had started to implement new things in the setting. As the comic expanded on the original details and gradually built up its own setting, it was decided a Retcon was needed for the first three chapters.This took place in two stages: A new first chapter and part of a second was made in parallel with the current chapter, up until chapter 12. However, by that point the comic had diverged far enough from its own changed setting that a redraw and Retcon was needed for remainder of chapter 2 up until chapter 8. This, combined with the sheer number of pages (over 3000 in the main story alone), is part of the reason the world-setting is a bit of a Continuity Snarl, especially for newer readers.Nowadays, Drowtales has an original setting with some general similarities with its DnD origins, but with a distinct flavour of its own.The story mainly follows Ariel in the first four or so chapters, but uses several viewpoint characters. This is a feature which becomes more prominent as the chapters progress, so now Ariel is a main character instead of the main character.The chronologically first chapter is the prologue while the (currently) oldest published chapter is chapter 9.New readers are advised to either start at Chapter 1 or Chapter 33, the start of the Second Arc of the story after a 15 year Timeskip.As of 2022, Moonless Age has been completed, and a new story, Hel's Gate, set in a different part of the same world, has begun.Note about links: Links to the main story may be moved around whenever a chapter is redone or inserted. This means many links throughout this page lead to the wrong page, or no page at all. The simplest way to get a permanent link is to access a page through the archive drop-down menu and use the URL it gives you.

Elemental Baggage
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_10ad7cfe
comment
Elemental Baggage: Averted. Practitioners of elemental magic need to have some of their element already present to work with to be able to do anything. It's not much of an issue if the element in question is something like, say, air or earth, but fire manipulators need at least a spark or flame to work with and make grow. As a result, many carry around devices to strike sparks or "firepots", which appear to be jars containing smoldering substances in order to provide some fire to manipulate at will.

Anyone Can Die
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Especially adorable animals. This works well to create dramatic tension, especially leading up to the timeskip chapters, since so far only Ariel, Faen, Kau and Shala were confirmed to have survived. This also meant that in chapter 32 fans were extremely worried about several characters, since it was quite possible they wouldn't survive. At the end of Chapter 32 the casualty count for that chapter was one, Rek'maar's aura got drained by Khaless and the the Orthorbbae Library lists his status as deceased. This is also the case with reader-sponsored cameos, unless the character's creator specifically requests otherwise. And even in that case the death itself might be implied but not specifically shown.

Hybrid-Overkill Avoidance: Any type of Fae can breed with any other type of Fae so long as their reproductive mechanisms are compatible, but non-magical creatures are no more compatible with different species than they are in real life. One elf said to have a bestiality fetish acquired himself a human slave harem in hopes of producing an entire clan of Half-Human Hybrids, but it didn't work.

Situational Sexuality: Heavy implied to occur at Orthorbbae in the main comic and outright stated in Daydream, due to the gender-segregated sections of the school. Less of a case of this than usual since drow have an Everyone Is Bi society anyway, so it's not as big a deal.

Multinational Team: The comic's staff come from 13 different countries. In-story, the group on the surface contains characters from 3 different major clans (4 if you count Liriel/Diva as a Sharen), a human and a feral. And after the timeskip, Chry'stel's group in Nuqrah'shareh consists of members of the Sharen clan (herself and Nau'kheol) as well as members of the Jie'yen, Balvhakara and Duskians, though the last one is only tagging along and providing them cover and not an official member.

Our Elves Are Different
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_15fc9fb
comment
Our Elves Are Different: The elves are immortal humanoids with magic powers and a culture vaguely reminiscent of a matriarchal version of the ancient Rome. Largely as a result of the aforementioned immortality and being the only widespread species able to use magic, they're arrogant enough to consider humans and orcs dumb animals, enslave them, and use them for food, but the whole thing is as much Deliberate Values Dissonance as arrogance — for instance, food is scarce enough Beneath the Earth that they can't afford to let good meat go to waste. The original elven subraces were the dark elves, also called the Dokkalfar, and the light elves, the Vanirnote that the Vanir were a race of gods in Norse mythology should tell you a lot about the light elf worldview. Following a magical apocalypse largely of their own doing that forced them underground, the elves evolved into the Drow, themselves divided into the black-skinned Drowolath, the rarer ash grey-skinned Drowussu (the difference comes from which of the two elven races they descend from), and the degenerate, sightless Xuile'solen, Mole Men equivalents resulting from elves failing to adapt to the underground. A few unusual traits includes their immortality being conditional on being in a high-mana environment, meaning among a large number of other elves. If alone, they will begin to age and eventually die. Their ears also get more pointed as they age, as keratin is continuously laid down: young elves' ears are simple triangles, while long, sharply pointed ears are the only real sign of age in ancient elves. Also, drow skin colors change slightly depending on where they come from — Chelian drow have chocolate-brown skin, those from Mimaneid are more charcoal-grey, Nuqran drow are lighter grey and so on.

Terrible Trio: The Nidraa'chal empaths Mae'rali, Sae'rali, and Bae'rali are implied to be fraternal triplets, and are working for Snadhya'rune as part of her elite force. They're also implied to be children or grandchildren of Ash'waren, and hate her with a passion, as Bae'rali nearly succeeds in killing her until Faen stops her.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: From daughters to mothers, especially Vy'chriel Vel'Sharen, though she has a slightly more complicated version since she's not the real daughter, she was the real daughter's protector and killed her, taking her place, and Zala'ess is understandably not too thrilled with the situation.

Only Six Faces: Played with, since the very early chapters suffered from this, but as the art style has evolved it's become less and less so, since characters are now pretty distinguishable in their facial features. Only Six Faces is also plays a role in drow culture as a whole, since most drow have white hair and similarly shaded skin they will often dye it or add accessories to distinguish themselves.

Feel No Pain: Tainted drow have a reduced sense of pain, and in extreme cases they can't feel much at all. The Sharen clan heavily taints their males and has them wear sealing armor to prevent them from losing control of their seed to act as Elite Mooks. Naal'suul, tainted to the core, feels pretty much nothing: once she tells her mother that she broke her finger and didn't feel it.

Order Versus Chaos: Light elves versus Dark elves. While only loosely inspired by Dungeons & Dragons after the Retcon, Dark elves and their drow descendants are still described as being very individualistic and prone to change. Light elves and their drow descendants tend to be more disciplined and inflexible.

Mandatory Motherhood
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_1b36b313
comment
Mandatory Motherhood: Played with in-story. Even though women are the dominant gender in drow society, having children is a way for them to build up their families and power, and the fact that Snadhya'rune, Diva'ratrika's heir, has no family of her own is seen as scandalous. However, Snadhya'rune does indeed have a daughter, she just had her conceived and carried outside of her womb through unorthodox means, and it seems that Snadhya did indeed want children, just on her own terms. Quain'tana being the only Ill'haress physically unable to bear children has massive repercussions, as it makes her an outsider in Chel's political scene.

End of an Age: At the very end, Diva, in a God Guise as Queen Sharess, commands an exodus of drowkind from the devastated cities of the Underworld, ending the Moonless Age. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue picks up many years after the people have settled onto the surface.

Put Off Their Food
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_1c3f4853
comment
Put Off Their Food: In chapter 14, when the group of protagonists sits down for dinner, the drow Kyo'nne tells the human Vaelia that the preserved meat they're eating is human meat. She was just joking — but since they don't actually know what kind of meat it is, and since drow do eat human meat, Vaelia decides to play it safe and have bread instead.

Our Nudity Is Different
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_1c45d4d7
comment
Our Nudity Is Different: Drow in Chel'el'sussoloth usually wear high collars, because the (lower) neck is considered a naughty part◊. That isn't the case with all drow nations though, nor has it always been the case in Chel. Similar to how it's normal IRL to go topless on the beach in some countries and scandalous in others.

Those Two Guys: Kuso and Baliir, pair of Vloz'ress soldiers, a regular trooper and a Berserker. The trooper seems like a rather chatty and good natured fellow, while his friend is a Gentle Giant... except when he fights. He's shown fighting once in the main story and once in a guest side story. He curbstomps his enemies both times.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Kiel'ndia considers the readers as one would imaginary friends and frequently points to them (us) and talks to her "friends." Of course, she comes from the Vloz'ress clan, so others dismiss her as psycho. Kiel'ndia breaks the fourth wall in a tragic way. Beware, your screen might break.

Deal with the Devil: This is effectively what willingly tainting yourself is, since it gives you extra strength but also turns you into a ticking timebomb. Sene'kha also offers this to Kiel, telling her that if she helps break her out of prison they'll not only Take Over the World, but possibly be able to keep Naal'suul alive. Kiel refuses after Naal tells her it's impossible.

Crapsack World
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: A few reasons, mainly due to demons and the elves themselves. The ever-present threat of being possessed by demons, the possibility that tainting only guarantees said possession in the long run, and the rampant (and not entirely unjustified) genocidal dogma against said tainted hurls the setting into Crapsack territory. Also, the fact that most everyone is trying to kill most everyone else for many reasons beyond the tainting. Hopefully it wasn't normal in pre-industrial societies to tell ten-year-old children, "Don't kill a fellow student unless you can dispose of the body," and not be joking. The characters all justify their actions, and it is debatable if anyone in the setting is evil, but Chel is not a safe place to live for anyone. Even more so in post-timeskip chapters. And this is long after another war already rendered the surface unlivable for ages. And while drow in this setting may not be Always Chaotic Evil in the way traditional D&D drow are, but they're still far from paragons of virtue. The Author makes the Drow sympathetic and rational without necessarily making them good; they still keep slaves and have death matches with few qualms about murder. Most of this is justified in some way or another, like they don't have a lot of room or resources down there so overpopulation and starvation are very real possibilities, and just because they're not "good" by modern human definitions doesn't mean they don't have feelings, and the fact their society is messed up in the way it is isn't exactly conducive to good feelings, and after the timeskip it seems many commoners have begun to realize this.

 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_222dc873
comment
Black Comedy: A lot of the humor is of this variety. The chibi pages at the end of chapters are often like this and make light of events in the chapter by rendering them in chibi form. This is a good example in the main story. Here's another example that takes the very seriously dysfunctional relationships between Quain and her children and treats it like this. Especially notable because the story proper never plays it for laughs. Also, almost anything involving Kharla's dolls will have a streak of this. Yes they're horrifying, but it's hard not to snicker at something like this, especially since that particular guy deserved it.

"Risk"-Style Map: The Sarghress clan's progress in conquering Chel during the District War is portrayed in this way. Each chapter of the District War displays a map of Chel'el'sussoloth. The entire city map is divided into different districts. The districts each clan controls is indicated by the clan's color, and by the time the District War ends, all of the previously Sharen held territory has been converted to Sarghress red.

comment
Aborted Arc: A Seer, Shimi'lande, foresaw that Ariel was The Chosen One of a prophecy in which she would play a central role in the war against the Nidraa'chal. Likewise, Snadhya'rune has also implied Ariel to be a key part of her plans. While Ariel's actions do have an impact, she is overall Demoted to Extra and neither of these plot threads come to fruition. This gets Lampshaded by Chirinide when Ariel asks her about it, telling Ariel that she does not know what Shimi'lande foresaw.

 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_23d6eccb
comment
Non-Mammal Mammaries: Nagas (humanoid upper body, snake-like lower body) the females of which both have breasts and are shown to be able to nurse seem like a straight use of this until you dig deeper into what they actually are. "Natural" or born nagas (as opposed to the Vloz'ress corrupted) are implied to be the descendants of fae who underwent a similar process to Zhor that replaced parts of their bodies while still keeping their basic inner biology intact. And considering that Zhor, who's not even humanoid, is able to father children, nagas retaining the ability to nurse after several generations doesn't seem so far-fetched. It's also implied that nagas are still warm-blooded despite their appearance and give live birth. Averted with the artificial Naga of the Vlozz'ress, who are drow who were "converted" with a snake golem. Played straight with the driders, who sit somewhere on the line between mammal and arachnid.

Cardboard Prison: The Sharen attempt to defy this by building a prison in Chel's outer shell, which is made of crystalnote Word of God is that the cavern Chel resides in is more or less a giant geode therefore making it impossible for prisoners with earth affinities to simply bend the bars and break out. This runs into problems when a shapeshifter is among the prisoners, can turn into one of the guard's comrades and trick them into opening the gate. Ariel's faction imprisons the Ys councilors with handcuffs made of stone in a room with a weak point they know of. One of them uses earth sorcery to break her cuffs and everyone else's. They are only stopped by Kyo'nne betraying them.

Fictional Geneva Conventions: There used to be several unwritten rules of warfare to limit collateral damage. The most important rule was that innocent bystanders are not to be harmed. Other rules include no poisoning water supplies and no fighting in the city. When the Nidraa'chal attacked, they broke virtually every rule, shattering the existing status quo of following the rules and causing future battles to ignore those rules.

Puny Earthlings: The story arc from chapters 20 to 22 has Ariel, her friends and a group of Highland Raiders storm a human city and kill the king with comparatively little effort. Whether or not this was bad writing or indicative of the power levels of the species involved (see Game-Breaker above) is best left to the forums. Kern says that the story arc was intended to be longer and include the Hermiones, another group of humans, but had to be cut down for the sake of time.

Also check the name of the shop they're in front of, which shows up again later and is implied to be the same one, or at least part of the same chain. There's also this page where Melodia's apparently stolen something and is being chased by two drow, but most people were too distracted by Faen's Self-Harm to notice. This guy also nearly gets a knife in the groin when the hibachi chef at his table is so distracted by Baliir's face under his mask that she accidentally flings it his way. His female companion is also blushing. And a funny foreground event in the first panel where Tsuris'lok (the Scourge on the right) is taking issue with a wolf statue, referencing how one of his hallucinations is a wolf-stag hybrid.

Inadequate Inheritor
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_2a6bf668
comment
Inadequate Inheritor: Quain'tana has gone through at least five heirs. Mel'arnach hates her, Syphille got herself tainted and hates her, and Koil'dorath was only a nominal heir because Quain was suspicious of Suu'be's influence. Laele'aell, her favorite daughter and official heir, fell to a demon and was turned into a sealing golem for the Sarghress. This left Ariel, who initially started out naive at first, but later grew into a badass of her own right especially after the time-skip. Kel'noz doesn't count by virtue of being male and the position of Ill'haress being only inherited by daughters.

Beast Man: What the humanoid fae sees the goblin races as due to not having an aura. In practice they are more like muggles without any technical advantages, though they have a better chance against nether beings since, lacking an aura, they can't be possessed, though they can still be injured physically. The Sarghress have taken advantage of this and formed a "War Meat" corps of non-fae whose express purpose is to go into nether infected areas and kill the nether summoners before the fae move in to finish the job.

Fantastic Slur: "Drowhiir" is a slur for Drowussu. Light Elves are also sometimes called "White Worms" and humans are called "beast men" and lumped in with orcs. Drow also seem to use "motherkiller" in the same context as humans use "motherfucker". It's also mainly been used about Val nobles, but mainly directed to the Sharen, because the three traitor sisters killed their mother and apparently that's out of the bag

Color Me Black: Most drow hate Demonic Possession and will frequently try to murder any possessed that have Body Horror, while generally oppressing possessed that just have red eyes. Of course, since the Nether demons are drawn to soul auras, and most of a drow's soul is their aura, getting possessed is as easy as touching demon gas, which occasionally happens to Kyorls, and happened to Sil'lice right after she disowned her possessed son. For extra irony, many of Snadhya'Rune's minions go from demon haters to willing hosts once they learn that the proper demonic rituals can give them Resurrective Immortality.

Ice Magic Is Water: Discussed. While in a classroom on magic, one student asks what, precisely, differentiates ice and water for magic purposes when they are the same thing in different states. The teacher explains that it is because manipulating them with their mana is different between the two states, hence why water and ice are treated as separate elements for their purposes.

Artificial Afterlife: Drowtales doesn't have a real afterlife and a fairy's "soul" is completely mortal, naturally dissipating after death and leaving Cessation of Existence as their ultimate fate. However, there is an old religion that seals the souls of their dead inside of stones, keeping them preserved as summons.

Explosive Breeder: This is the main reason why the drowolath managed to become the dominant species in the underworld. Whilst its mentioned that drow and elves in general find it difficult to get pregnant (leading to low numbers overall despite a thousand year existence), it is also stated that the drowolath are somewhat more fertile than their drowussu cousins, hence why they were able to outbreed the latter and become the most populous underworld species.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_33b4e7f
comment
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Mostly averted, in that most armored characters wear helmets, though Sharen dragon riders seem to not wear them when patrolling only to put them on when expecting a fight. A helmet also saves a Sharen at one point and he gets off with a nasty head wound, and Ariel lampshades this trope after a scuffle where she says that she now gets why they make them wear helmets, since she got hit by some debris that dented her helmet and had some minor bleeding but was otherwise alright.

Vapor Wear: There have been several◊ (the previous one just one of many) things that references drow nobility in particular not wearing underwear. For an actual confirmed case, Mel'arnach has a semi-transparent dress that clearly has nothing under it◊. The character Shen'fya also caused a minor stir with her outfit, much of which has transparent fabric, and it takes what would be an upskirt shot to realize that she's actually wearing leggings that are almost the same shade as her skin.

Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Ariel is ordered to kill Mir'kin Vel'Vloz'ress, and then kills Yafein Val'Sullisin'rune's slave Maya in a fit of rage after he pushed her Berserk Button. It's clearly hinted that the resulting My God, What Have I Done? moment resulted in PTSD. It's particularly disturbing when you remember that due to her species' slow aging process, she was physically still a small child at the time.

Curb-Stomp Battle: A few times. Rik vs. Discordia (though that one was rigged and later severely reversed) and Sil'lice vs. Yaeminira/Vy'Chriel. And now we can add Syphile vs. Quain'tana to the mix, making it the second such curbstomping in as many chapters. Drow in general seem prone to ending up in these since their system of honor dictates that they face challenges, even if that means going up against someone several times their age and experience who they have no chance of winning against. Curb stomp battle is the only way to describe Shinae crushing Ariel in 2 seconds flat when they fight after the timeskip

Family Relationship Switcheroo: The truth behind Ariel Val'Sarghress' lineage is that her mother is Mel'arnach and her father is Zhor, but Quain'tana, her grandmother, took her away from Mel to raise as her heir. This was not voluntary on Mel or Zhor's part.

PVP Balanced: The old-old start of the comic was this way when it was based on Dungeons & Dragons sessions. Back then, goblins still didn't have auras by default, but it was possible for them to acquire them and fight the Fae on equal terms. This gets deliberately averted in favour of story over balance in the current main comic, which is something new readers should keep in mind/be aware of.

comment
Why Am I Ticking?: Naal'suul may count, by virtue of having been unwillingly tainted so badly that she could die and turn into a demon at practically any moment. Chapter 25 revealed that nearly every tainted in the setting has only around 25 to 50 years to live, meaning that a significant portion of Chel is a ticking time bomb. Including several major characters.

Womb Horror: It turns out that a type of faulty demonic seed that's been distributed to members of the Sharen clan causes this. Effects range from the mother miscarrying early in the pregnancy, to giving birth to a horribly deformed baby, or at worst the baby ripping out her stomach and leading her possessed body around.

Urban Warfare
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_40da7cc9
comment
Urban Warfare: Urban warfare was forbidden by the Empress's Peace in order to protect the commoners. But the Nidraa'chal had no regard for the rules. The Nidraa'chal War was a particularly horrific conflict because it took place within the city of Chel itself, resulting in massive civilian casualties. Worse, the nether summoners actually used civilians as weapons by turning them into demons. The clans managed to keep the Empress's Peace for a few more decades, but eventually, a particularly infuriating Sharen attack that also hit neutral bystanders caused Urban Warfare to become the norm.

Utopia Justifies the Means
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_45fe3a2e
comment
Utopia Justifies the Means: Multiple characters have their own vision of how they want to shape Chel, and frankly don't care about the sacrifices that have to be made in order to do it. Snadhya'rune has tainted almost everyone with a deliberately flawed form of tainting that will kill anyone afflicted with it in 25-50 years, while keeping the safe and pure version only for herself and her followers. All she needs to do is wait until Chel self-destructs, and take over what is left. Sha'sana, for one, is dedicating her life to bringing back Sharess so she can unite the clans and doesn't care that Chel goes to hell in the meantime. Sene'kha was planning to blackmail all the clans into disbanding and setup a democratic state by empowering an incredibly dangerous Psychopathic Manchild with the power of a demon god and dollifying anyone that opposes it.

Important Haircut: Liriel just performed one of these To mark the shift from the her own personality to that of Diva'ratrika Val'Sharess, who had moved her spirit into "Liriel"'s body several years before but had been held back by her heavy drinking. Vaelia gets the "opposite" of one in that she has hair extensions put in to signify she is no longer a slave. Slaves are not allowed to have haircuts longer than their neck. Long hair signifies higher status, hence why Yaeminira grew out her hair when she officially "became" Vy'Chriel.

Bait the Dog: A doozy of a one in the remake of Chapter 1. Despite the Foregone Conclusion that Fuzzy dies by Syphile's hands, the fandom was still shocked when, after Ariel begs to be allowed to keep her new pet, Syphile apparently agrees, leaving the room with only a sigh, not even chiding Ariel. Next page, cut to a week later to a suffering Fuzzy with the revelation that Syphile has locked Ariel and Fuzzy in for the whole week with inadequate food and, apparently, even no provision for the calls of nature. She kills Fuzzy two pages later by slamming his head against the wall.

Always Chaotic Evil
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_4832a3bb
comment
And while drow in this setting may not be Always Chaotic Evil in the way traditional D&D drow are, but they're still far from paragons of virtue. The Author makes the Drow sympathetic and rational without necessarily making them good; they still keep slaves and have death matches with few qualms about murder. Most of this is justified in some way or another, like they don't have a lot of room or resources down there so overpopulation and starvation are very real possibilities, and just because they're not "good" by modern human definitions doesn't mean they don't have feelings, and the fact their society is messed up in the way it is isn't exactly conducive to good feelings, and after the timeskip it seems many commoners have begun to realize this.

comment
Sealed Evil in a Can: Being immaterial in their default state, demons cannot be destroyed by physical attacks. Nether mana also seems to be more potent than ether mana, so ordinary mana attacks only end up feeding them. Aside from attacking them with another demon, the only known way for a Fae to defeat them is to seal them inside a gem.

Villainous Valour: Althought not villains per se, the dvergar who choose to fight the drow rather than trade with them shows this. Even after being reduced to a remnant by the desperate, fleeing dokkalfar (and later outright invading drow) and having no mana, they still are a real danger to drow trade caravans and even manage to get in a few good blows against the highland raiders. Keep in mind that the last is a bit like somali pirates attacking a US battleship.

Gender-Restricted Ability
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_4ccd1c09
comment
Gender-Restricted Ability: Traditional summoning can only be performed by females, due to what Word of God describes as something related to their ability to bear children. The Origin of the Jaal'darya story elaborates on this as being related to the ability to separate one's own aura from that of the child growing inside them when they give birth, with the same technique being used to create a traditional summon. Nether summoning has no such gender restriction, which is one reason it's become increasingly popular. Seers in the Kyorl'solenurn clan are always female, with the implication of serving as spiritual leaders for their male Templars and Blades as they are supposedly closely attuned to Sharess. Nether sealing is also traditionally restricted to the female Wardens. Inquisitors, however, are gender-neutral, with both men and women occupying the position as long as they have empathy.

Your Normal Is Our Taboo: Bisexuality and multiple partners is the norm for Drows, while pure heterosexuals like Zala'ess and her hubby Sabrror, and pure homosexuals like Snadhya'rune and Mel'arnach are considered unusual. Cannibalism is also acceptable. With so few resources, Drow eating Drow is the norm amongst the lower class. It may have disappeared from the background materials, but a running theme in Drowtales is that a bare neck is considered a form of nudity in Chel'el'sussoloth.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Some of the very earliest chapters differ widely in tone from the later ones, including more overt references to the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons setting, Ariel being much more of a Villain Protagonist and drow sexuality being much more overt and depraved. One reason the remake was necessary was to make the tone internally consistent throughout and make the world it's set in more distinct.

Mirroring Factions: Despite being a Superior Species the drow in particular are not actually that different from the goblin races. Just take a look at how the drow consider the goblin races. Now take a closer look at the drow. Ironic that the ones who consider halmes akin to locusts almost destroyed their own planet for mana-based life a millenia ago, isn't it? Later on, when Chiri'nide and Shan'aal visit the elves of Vanaheimr, the way the Light Elves try to kill them and succeed in killing the refugees they brought causes Chiri to reference the drowussu's own views about "racial purity" and begin to question them.

Immigrant Patriotism: The Illhar'esses of the Jaal'Darya, Nal'Sarkoth and Illhar'dro clans are not natives of Chel (hailing from Damadi, Mimaneid and Val'Raveran respectively), but the three of them are collectively amongst the most outspoken at the Council in chapter 16. In the case of the Illhar'dro, this trope backfires spectacularly when refugees from the District Wars come pouring into Nuqrah'shareh, climaxing into another civil war due to political conflict over the refugees' presence and the Nidraa'chal secretly sabotaging things.

Our Demons Are Different: Demons are beings made out of nether mana from other realms. There are believed to be an infinite variety. Most of them are extremely dangerous, but only a small number are actively malevolent. Most demons are noncorporeal and can only interact with the physical realm via a host, but a handful of demons can manifest physically like a summon. They also eat mana, which makes fae races attract rogue demons like bug lights, and races without an aura (read: nonmagical) are safe from them unless they manifest or possess a fae. This also makes them able to shut down elven technology by eating their power source, unless hardened against demonic predation. Vel'Akar, sapient demons, are capable of communicating with one another and some demon merged drow via Telepathy. Finally, demons can also "attach" themselves to a host through their aura; powerful demons will overcome their new host immediately, resulting in possession, while weak demons attach to their host in a symbiosis called a "tainting". Tainting, among other benefits, mostly serves as an "antibody" against other demons that might possess the host, and thus becomes almost mandatory for summoners.

Deadly Graduation: Quain'tana orders Ariel to either kill a prisoner or duel a fellow clan member to the death. In the current version, she decides to kill the prisoner, and Quain tells her to make it messy.

Our Dwarves Are All the Same
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_5281d5b1
comment
Our Dwarves Are All the Same: The dwarves are a minor underground-dwelling race. Their greatest cities were wiped out by the drow, who enslaved them and took their caverns for themselves. The dwarves don't stand much more of a chance against the Fae than the other races, but are capable of giving them a bloody nose by ambushing them with cannons and living in areas too hostile for even the drow.

Broad Strokes
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_547196be
comment
Broad Strokes: The approach to older information in side stories post Retcon. For instance, Chirinide's father is still a light elf and Ariel is still the child of Mel and Zhor but specific events may have played out differently with the same results. The current version of chapter 1 is similar in that the basic series of events didn't change all that much while some events were expanded upon or omitted. Chapter 9 was also given some minor updates for the 10 year anniversary, such as inserting some additional pages to expand on Chrys'tel and Shinae's first meeting and some minor dialog alterations to make it internally consistent with later chapters (taking out Chrys'tel calling her attack, for instance). The art itself was unchanged minus the chapter cover.

Country Matters: Has come up twice in the story. Interestingly, both occasions involve Mel, and she's actually the one who says it the second time. It apparently doesn't have the same terrible connotations to drow as it does to Americansnote do note that the author is from Quebec, where while still a bad word it's not considered quite as bad due to their matriarchal society.

Fantastic Racism: Drow tend to look down on nearly everyone else note Slightly less so for the Sarghress if you can fight. Depraved commoners. Also possibly the case for the Nal'sarkoth as they actively recruit non-drow races to build up their numbers., most of the non-drow major characters find themselves enslaved at some point, 'tainted' drow vs. 'pure' drow, grey drow vs black drow, driders vs. drow in general, "blind" drow vs. "normal drow" etc. In short, everybody versus everybody.

Puppet King
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_5a100b90
comment
Puppet King: Gender-inverted, given the matriarchal setting. The Ill'haresses are elected by a council of Judicators who are patriarchal Light Elves in order to maintain respect from the matriarchal Drowlaths. Anytime they act out of line according to their standards or gain knowledge that's considered dangerous, they're sent to the surface, where they slowly die of mana deprivation. Valla'drielle attempts to avert this by having the Nidraa'chal assassinate the Judicators, but ends up being used as an Unwitting Pawn by Snadhya'rune, who double-crosses her and supports Anahid in order to "collect" the Kyorl Seers. The Light Elf queens are also political figureheads due to living in a patriarchal society. Because they are powerless without a king, several ambitious nobles try to seek the Vala Hudr's hand in marriage for their own ends, including the father of Freya and Freyr.

 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_5b19cc1b
comment
Air-Vent Passageway: Ragini survived the massacre of slaves, guards, and servants perpetuated by Diva'ratrika's traitor daughters by hiding in a secret vent. Her survival allowed Diva'ratrika enough time to learn how to circumvent death and possess Ragini. Also subverted- Diva'ratrika's too large to fit, and it's very likely that her decision to possess Ragini was because she would eventually grow too large to go in and out.

Meaningful Background Event: Repeatedly. On this page and several subsequent ones from from chapter 34, Shodun is out of focus in the background behind Balsii, only to burst out of the background and kill Sandaur. On this page from chapter 35, in the background you can see the assault on First Landing Fortress, which is talked about later in the chapter. No one in the scene comments on it, suggesting that Chelians have become jaded to the constant conflict during the timeskip.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: It becomes really, really hard to talk about many of the later events of the comic without giving away the following: Diva'ratrika has been dead for 16 years Diva'ratrika has reincarnated (kinda) as Liriel, using Ragini's body as a template. Then their auras successfully fused to create Diva. The Sharen sisters were behind the Nidraa'chal plot, which was a ruse to kill their mother Ariel's mother is really Mel'arnach, not Quain'tana; Quaint'ana is actually her grandmother. This makes Kel'noz, Ariel's "brother", her maternal uncle. Syphile dies by Quain'tana's hand after breaking Chrys'tel out of prison.

After the Time Skip, pretty much everyone knows that Diva'ratrika was murdered by three of her own daughters. The only people "unaware" are those who refuse to believe it, namely the Blue Bloods such as the Beldrobbaen, Ill'hardro, and the Sharen themselves, who's leadership are using an El Cid Ploy to prevent themselves from collapsing. Eventually, the Nidraa'chal force everyone to acknowledge that Diva'ratrika is dead, even if not under the actual circumstances, so as to throw the empire into even more chaos and knock Sarv'swati out of the game.

Spanner in the Works: The plan of Snadhya'rune, Sarv'swati and Zala'ess to cover up that they killed their mother was going off without a hitch until Chrys'tel discovered the truth. Ironically, she saw it at the same time Sil'lice told one of their mooks that she had seen it too. And Liriel/Diva's return isn't so much a spanner as an i-beam. Snadhya'rune's plan to force all of Chel to submit to her will by threatening them with the parasitic flower, and then offering a cure, is ruined when the Sarghess - quite by chance - kill the only scientist who knew how to manufacture the cure. Come Chapter 49, Snadhya's scheme to collect some imprisoned Kyorl seers for herself is foiled when Chirinide, one of the aforementioned seers, recognises Snadhya's deputy, Yuh'le, as one of the Nidraa'chal who tried to kill her in Felde, and refuses to cooperate. In the ensuing fight, Yuh'le is killed and Snadhya loses yet another advantage. What's more, although Anahid comes into power at least partly with Snadhya's help, Chirinide now knows she was involved and will be on her guard.

Bavarian Fire Drill: One city of light elves is so used to doing what they're told that an elf commands a group of assassins to stand down and they do what he says, even after he lampshades the use of this trope. Also, Kyuusei in chapter 42 is counting on this trope to keep anyone from questioning his plan to use Shimi'lande's assassination as an excuse to get rid of the Dutanvir-descended drowussu in their clan, claiming that the drowussu's natural inclination towards obedience to authority will work to his advantage. He's wrong.

Heroic Sacrifice: Sharess saved her people during the Surface Wars by separating her aura from her own body so she could hold back the nether demons. The Sharen version of the incident is that she became a goddess afterwards, but Quain'tana, who respects Sharess as a leader and for achieving "the greatest death one could hope for", resents the Sharen for cheapening their ancestor's sacrifice by turning her into a symbol of control.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_648fe274
comment
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: One part of the Deliberate Values Dissonance between drow and humans is that drow think nothing of raiding surface settlements and taking back human slaves, and even Faen, one of the most morally good characters by human standards, doesn't bat an eye about buying a light elf slave at the market. Vaelia considers the raid on her home village as a defining moment of her life, but for the drow it's a drop in the bucket.

Dying as Yourself
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_663b22d9
comment
Dying as Yourself: The Kyorl'solenurn try to make this happen when someone is taken over by demon, as seen here. However, it's inverted post-timeskip once Anahid becomes Ill'haress and promotes the virtue of forgiveness towards the tainted, seeing them as still people and blameless for something out of their control.

Author Avatar: Not who you'd think. The character Kwaii is a former avatar of the author, while Desmonde is a Distaff Counterpart of his wife's character Kaito, who himself appears in chapter 24 onwards. The authors themselves (and various staff members) do show up in the chibi extras at the end of chapters and in the artists' life pages.

Dying Moment of Awesome
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_6682d6e4
comment
Dying Moment of Awesome: Years before the story, Empress Sharess saved millions of her people during the Surface Wars by separating her aura from her own body to hold off the rampaging demons. According to her descendants, the Vel'Sharen, Sharess became a goddess afterwards and watches over her people from afar. Diva'ratrika doesn't believe it, and Quain'tana hates that Sharess's "greatest death" was cheapened by her own family as a way to control their subjects through religious faith.

An Ice Person
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_67b0bd0e
comment
An Ice Person: Sil'lice. Literally. From what we can tell she was never a very nice person, but being set up by her sisters and exiled probably didn't help at all. A notable instance of using her ice abilities involves her freezing "Vy'Chriel" Yaeminira to death. This caused her fingers to snap. "Nasty way to die" indeed.

Ship Sinking: Sarnel/Ariel was one of the more popular (heterosexual) pairings for Ariel, but it was sunk twice over after the timeskip, once by showing that their parents tried to get them to date only to fail at it, and again by Ariel getting together with Faen and Sarnel getting together with Shala.

Human Outside, Alien Inside
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_6994b346
comment
Human Outside, Alien Inside: Fae (drow, light elves, drowussu, etc.) in Drowtales are more biologically different than their humanoid appearance would suggest. The key to this is mana; the energy they generate, absorb and manipulate. It is the source behind their comparative resistance to, and lack of, diseases (they are not completely immune though). It is also what keeps them young and in a healthy condition, provided there are enough of them to generate a surplus of mana. They still need to eat and drink, but less so than a human of comparative size would, and their bodies do not store fat the way a human body does. Their nature means that they also can "starve" even when they have plenty of food and drink — if they are alone. If that happens they will start to suffer from mana deprivation and starts to age much like a human would.

Meaningful Name
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Kern says that Syphile's name comes from the word Syphilis, since her original character was in an RPG and the name was made up on the spot. Most names in the setting have some sort of meaning and/or history behind them, while Kite tends to use a different method. Character specific examples can be found on the Character Sheets but one memorable example is that of Jer'kol, a character who pre-timeskip pretended to be Ariel's father. His true nature became much clearer later on when it turned out that he was working for Syphile to kill Ariel. The twins Kau and Shala are named after one of their older brothers, Kau'Shala, who died in the Nidraa'chal conflict.

People of Hair Color
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_6cdbfb36
comment
People of Hair Color: A subtle example, but among Dark Elves and drow who have naturally colored hair (mostly earlier generations) it's apparent that certain colors can indicate which of the original Dark Elf kingdoms one's ancestors originated from. The Sharen and those related directly to Sharess tend towards purple, while blue is predominant in the Sullisin'rune and black among the elves of Phariasta, which include the Beldrobbaen and Balvhakara, and the Illhard'dro seem to favor teal and greenish-blue.

The Undead: Kern explains that there are no undead in the DT world, though having your aura separated from your body, as Sharess and Diva'ratrika both did is close and auras can be used to power summons or golems, but you won't see any zombies around except for people who have been fully possessed by demons, which somewhat resembles zombies in the form of The Virus.

Idiot Ball: One is apparently handed to dwarves, who have terribly bad designs for man-portable cannons. They can't even handwave the over-the-shoulder cannon with A Wizard Did It, as the dwarves are explicitly lacking in magic. They also can't even manage to pull off their given role of tunnel skirmishers — their attack causes zero casualties and only minor damage.

Unwitting Pawn
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_733e007a
comment
The Ill'haresses are elected by a council of Judicators who are patriarchal Light Elves in order to maintain respect from the matriarchal Drowlaths. Anytime they act out of line according to their standards or gain knowledge that's considered dangerous, they're sent to the surface, where they slowly die of mana deprivation. Valla'drielle attempts to avert this by having the Nidraa'chal assassinate the Judicators, but ends up being used as an Unwitting Pawn by Snadhya'rune, who double-crosses her and supports Anahid in order to "collect" the Kyorl Seers.

Slobs Versus Snobs: The main reason for the war. The snobby clans, namely the Sharen, Beldrobbaen, and Illhar'dro believe that only Blue Bloods have the right to rule. The Beldrobbaen refuse to even mate with commoners. The snobby clans resent upstart commoners trying to achieve greatness to the extent that they have even started enslaving many of their citizens to retain control. The slobby clan, the Sarghress, believes that everyone should have the right to prove themselves regardless of their background and are willing to shed a lot of blood to prove it.

From Bad to Worse
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: In Chapter 33, the city of Nuqrah'shareh is in the middle of a civil war caused by an influx of refugees from neighboring cities. And then Balsii Val'Illhar'dro attempts a coup on her cousin, and though Nega'fanea survives the city has fallen even further into chaos by Chapter 34. Also essentially describes Chel as a whole in the years following the Nidraa'chal War. The War itself caused massive casualties and left large sections of the city uninhabited, and the issues that were either raised during or exacerbated by the War persisted for 15 years until the next Council, which ended with several clans walking out and no progress being made. Then the Sharen attacked the Sarghress and the two clans entered into open war with each other, and after 15 years of that Chel's in an even worse state than before. And then one thing that hasn't yet happened but is on the horizon is Zala arriving home with her Nuqrahsharian allies, which has the potential to upset the city even more.

The Ageless
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_796fa10c
comment
The Ageless: The fae races (drow, light elves, faeries) provided they live with enough other fae to generate a surplus of mana. Otherwise they will suffer from mana deprivation and will start to age much like humans do. This is what has happened to Rosof and Tralyn. If one goes back to a large enough group of fae again, before the aging has gone too long, the process can be halted. This is likely the case with Tralyn (not confirmed). For Rosof it was too late and he is slowly dying despite being among the people of his clan again. Also, plain statistics makes for fatal accidents killing people off sooner or later. The average lifespan of drow is around 200 years for a commoner/non-Val and around 1000 for Val matriarchs and Dark Elves. Subverted in one of the audiobooks. It's stated that drow have a finite natural lifespan, though they're lucky to get within centuries of dying of old age (which for them could be circa 1000 years plus).

Curtains Match the Window: Some Vloz'ress, Diva'ratrika, Chiri'nide, Shimi'lande, Ariel, and Mel'arnach. Among first and second-generation elves like Diva'ratrika this is natural, while in later generations it seems to be done deliberately using dyes and magic.

Black Market Produce: The trope is lampshaded here. Chocolate is considered a recreational drug. Drowolath cooking relies heavily on Soylent Green and mushroom beer. Elves who rely on such staples can be identified by their tongues, which have become permanently purple.

Villain Decay
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_7bb844ec
comment
Villain Decay: Demons start out being portrayed as horrific, unstoppable monsters. Demons cannot not be harmed by any known weapons or spells and have brought about the downfall of entire civilizations. A few dozen Nidraa'chal were able to annihilate the entire Dutan'vir clan and the portion of the Sharen army sent to fight them. Only the Kyorl clan was capable of cleaning up the mess. But after the Time Skip, we start seeing more variations of demons, some being almost cuddly. And while other demons remain the only thing that can actually kill them, now, all the clans have sealers in their ranks, enabling them to trap the demons in gems. Thus nether summoning has been reduced to a useful, but hardly invincible art.

Hoooo boy, Quain'tana. Let's see, of her three adult children, one is dead and has been turned into a golem, Kel'noz is officially subservient to her but has his own agenda (and readily acknowledges that she was a really bad mother) and then there's Mel'arnach, who was not only disowned and imprisoned, but beaten (and implied, raped) by Quain'tana's men, and then for her trouble had the child she wanted taken away from her. And then there's Syphile, who has a trope of her own...

Vague Age: Due to the fact that fae stop aging at the human equivalent of 30 and most have trouble keeping track after a few centuries it's only really the child cast who have any concrete ages (their teens in the first arc and their 30s in the second). Mel'arnach speculates that she (and by extension Kel'noz) must be at least 300, and context would seem to put Quain'tana as at least 400.

Open Secret: After the Time Skip, pretty much everyone knows that Diva'ratrika was murdered by three of her own daughters. The only people "unaware" are those who refuse to believe it, namely the Blue Bloods such as the Beldrobbaen, Ill'hardro, and the Sharen themselves, who's leadership are using an El Cid Ploy to prevent themselves from collapsing. Eventually, the Nidraa'chal force everyone to acknowledge that Diva'ratrika is dead, even if not under the actual circumstances, so as to throw the empire into even more chaos and knock Sarv'swati out of the game. Snadhya'rune creates a "secret gathering" of important people to a peace conference. But so many people receive invites, that it has entered the common gossip.

It's then followed by 27, where Naal'suul meets her apparent end making it even more of a Breather Episode before another Wham.

Chosen Conception Partner: Mostly the norm in drow society, which sees the roles of fathers as more or less being business transactions with Vals in particular choosing mates to gain access to certain rare or desired bloodline abilities and little else, though there are exceptions where the father plays a role in the upbringing of the child like with Zala'ess' mate Sabbror and the Beldrobbaen clan, who have a tradition of turning their children's fathers into driders to serve as the child's protectors, and the Ill'hardro who teach their children who their fathers are to encourage trade between clans. The fathers of Diva'ratrika's daughters are never mentioned (and each daughter may in fact have a different father) and Quain'tana seemingly doesn't give a damn about the paternity of her various children and grandchildren.

Large Ham: As can be inferred in the comic, Quain'tana speaks with a loud, bombastic voice reminiscent of Leonidas in 300. Zala'ess has a flair for the overly-dramatic herself. The scene in Chapter 8 where Quain and Zala are verbally sparring, and the duel in Chapter 12 between Kyo'vaerde and Sene'kha are prime examples of Dueling Hams. The duel between Kalki and Sil'lice is yet another example of Ham-to-Ham Combat. I'm going to go out there and say that nearly the entire Val'Kyorl'solenurn clan (and much of the Vel'Sharen) has a steady diet of the comic's scenery. No kiddin'. Read The Longest Wait...the Val'sharess isn't called Diva'ratrika for nothing! Likewise with her daughters, especially Snadhya'rune.

Interspecies Romance: One sidestory is about a drow named "Val'Doomed" who kidnaps human women to try and breed with, but because this is impossible he just earns the derision of other drow. An aversion is Mel'arnach and Zhor who initially appear to be this trope, but Zhor is in fact a Dark Elf that was transformed into his current state so it's not really this trope. A minor but more straightforward example is the relationship between Dhal'zin and Kai of the Stone Company, which Ky'onne is the only one to notice.

Free-Range Children: It's hard to tell how widespread it is (especially since Quain'tana isn't exactly the paragon of good parenting), but drow parents seem to give their children a larger amount of freedom than modern day parents, even allowing them to go to the Surface without visible protest, which is always described as a dangerous and wild place. Since the drow world seems similar to pre-industrial or even feudal societies this is Truth in Television as far as early human societies go. Partly justified by the fact Drow elite mothers are more concerned about quality of heir than how many have to die. To quote Order of the Stick, they don't care how many they have to kill they can make more in their tummy! And have centuries to do so. 'xcept for ONE drow mother...

Our Dark Elves Are Different
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_8860d0a5
comment
Our Dark Elves Are Different: Drow are the descendants of ancient elves who fled into the underworld to avoid a cataclysmic civil war that destroyed the old elven empires. Modern drow live in a number of city-states divided from one another by lightless wilderness, each one divided between numerous feuding clans. They're a highly matriarchal and aristocratic society, where commoners have little to no civil power and slavery is widespread. The most common drow "ethnicity" are the Drowolath, whose skin ranges from coal black to dark chocolate brown; their hair is stark white, and often dyed in clan colors. Less common are the Drowussu, with ash-grey skin and light but colored hair. The Xuile'solen are a further type descended from drow that degenerated into eyeless savages that live in small tribes around the cavern systems. The dark elves, or Dokkalfar, are the ancestors of the modern drow. They used to rule many surface nations alongside their northern cousins, the pale-skinned Vanir or light elves, but are now functionally extinct outside of the odd surviving individual due to being entirely replaced by their descendants. They had dark skin in human shades, usually in mid-brown ranges, and colorful hair. In truth, they are only ancestral to the Drowolath — the Drowussu are instead descended from the smaller numbers of Vanir that also hid underground.

The Chosen One
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_89631688
comment
The Chosen One: Interestingly, largely subverted. Well, no, that's not accurate. Each major clan has a point of view, and someone who can save them. Ariel is the most obvious one, while Kiel, is perhaps the strangest (but no less of one, as evidenced by various monsters telling her they depend on her in Chapter 41)

Civil War
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_8976acda
comment
Civil War: Chel has had internal squabbles since its founding. The first major war was the one between the Sharen and the Sullisin'rune, which the Sharen won. As of the Timeskip, the Sarghress and Sullisin'rune clans are in open war against the Sharen, Black Sun, and Beldrobbaen clans. The Nal'sarkoth, and Jaal'darya clans have remained neutral while the Vloz'ress have become neutral. While the ill'haress of the Illhardro clan dislikes the Sarghress, she was unable to afford fighting them until recently and is just starting to join in, along with a couple of Nuqrah clans allied with her.

comment
Risking the King: This is the norm among armies, with Quain'tana and Sarv'swati leading the Sarghress and Sharen armies themselves due to a combination of Authority Equals Asskicking, the expectation of society being led by powerful Drowlath women, and the drow sense of honor.

Your Size May Vary: The heights of the various characters shift in-between panels from a couple of centimeters to a half a meter at times. Quian'tana and Ariel in particular fall victim to this given their tall stature, appearing giant in one chapter and looking merely bigger than average in the next.

Demonic Possession
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_906365a2
comment
Demonic Possession: Definitely one of the darkest examples, as once it happens, not only is it completely irreversible, but the possessed victim literally ceases to exist in any way, shape or form. There is nothing left but the demon and the broken body of the victim it uses as its shell. The bodies of the possessed also invariably twist and mutate in horrible ways. There's also "Possession Lite" in the form of "Tainting". Since demons need to be able to overpower their host to possess them, and only one demon at a time can infect a fae, deliberate tainting with a minor demon has become a standard practice and is used as a "vaccine" against possession. This makes tainting essentially a prerequisite for all but the most overconfident of nether summoners, though incidental tainting is pretty common. A stable taint will can keep a drow safe from possession indefinitely, though a heavy tainting can eventually overpower the host, and the side effects of an unstable taint can include loss of emotion and feeling, mutation, and mental instability. Heavy taint can be held at bay with specialized sealing equipment, usually in the form of a mask or helm. The art of summoning, tailored mutation, sealing, and deliberate possession is all a science unto itself. If that weren't bad enough, only the correct kind of demon would be suitable for a long term tainting. The incorrect kind of demon incubates in their host about 50 years or so before blossoming into a possession. This makes a large number of drow, including a considerable portion of the cast into potential ticking timebombs. And nobody realizes it! The one known instance of an exorcism (Laele'aell Val'Sarghress), while technically a success, also ended horribly for the possession victim, much to the sorrow of her mother. While clinically alive, she was left a mute, empty shell and is used as a killing machine (the fact that she was a badass before this was probably helpful for that last detail). It's not known if she's even sentient anymore.

Art Shift: When Phani'nath Vel'Sharen describes the last Ill'haress' gathering, the regular realistic style shifts to render the mighty powers of Chel'el'sussoloth as chibis. Also, in Sil'lice's chapter, it begins in the comic's traditional style but changes to a more manga like style when Sil'lice begins telling her story to the twins.

Government in Exile: With the exception of the Sarghress, the clans of Chel'el'sussoloth started out as the surviving families of Dark Elf royalty and their subjects. But it's persisted for a millennium, and the fact that they haven't adapted since then causes problems that become more and more evident as the series goes on, and the office of the Val'Sharess is shown to be either indifferent or powerless or vacant, due to Diva'ratrika "dying" and later remerging in a younger form after fusing her aura with a slave's.

Men Are the Expendable Gender
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_974b47a7
comment
Men Are the Expendable Gender: For the most part, the Drowlaths view their males as this at best, so most infantry soldiers who serve in the war are male. In-story, the trope is averted as casualties are roughly 50/50 along gender lines, but because there are fewer male characters who have large roles, this has the effect of making male deaths hit the audience harder, the inverse of most fiction. Kern confirms this is deliberate.

Remember the Alamo: A particularly brutal Sharen attack against the Sarghress controlled town of Machike is what blew up the tensions between the Sharen and Sarghress into a full fledged urban war.

The original elven subraces were the dark elves, also called the Dokkalfar, and the light elves, the Vanirnote that the Vanir were a race of gods in Norse mythology should tell you a lot about the light elf worldview. Following a magical apocalypse largely of their own doing that forced them underground, the elves evolved into the Drow, themselves divided into the black-skinned Drowolath, the rarer ash grey-skinned Drowussu (the difference comes from which of the two elven races they descend from), and the degenerate, sightless Xuile'solen, Mole Men equivalents resulting from elves failing to adapt to the underground.

Mooning: During Phani'nath's description of the last Ill'haress gathering Quain'tana does this to Sarv'swati. It's not entirely certain if this actually happened, but it would hardly be out of character. Kiel also does this to Snadhya'rune in a chibi page for chapter 44. Kern also indicates she was originally going to do it in the chapter proper, but it would have been a Level Breaker, so it was kept as a parody page since it was something she would have done.

Foreshadowing
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Look closely at the cover of Chapter 28, especially the position of Kiel's hand on her stomach. Now recall that in that chapter she nearly dies due to poisoned food. Also, check behind Sate'ja's head on the cover of chapter 31. It's Diva's tower in ruins. And why was Chrys'tel there? To try and meet Diva'ratika. Guess what happens later in chapter 31? She and Nau meets Diva herself, albeit reincarnated in a younger body. The story of the Vel'cahal that the kids see in Chapter 26 also serves this purpose, since it's essentially what happens to Naal later on, with her keeping just enough of her consciousness to avoid eating Kiel. Just to drive the point home, Naal even gets a doll of the Vel'cahal, which she keeps even after her seed takes her over.

Alien Catnip
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_9d1fa121
comment
Alien Catnip: a side story and the coinciding news post suggested that chocolate is a potent drug to drow, who may have evolved from feline creatures. Evidently, students at the Orthorbbae abuse tablets of cocoa like some people abuse Ritalin in real life, and consuming too much at once will kill a drow. They're probably reacting to the Theobromine in the chocolate, which can be poisonous to both animals and humans if enough is consumed. A page posted later in the main archive had Mel'arnach and Snadhya'rune getting stoned off their arses on chocolate.

World of Technicolor Hair
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_9dbf9610
comment
World of Technicolor Hair: The ancient elves often had hair in various unusual shades; one of the few surviving Dokkalfar, Diva'ratrika, had naturally lilac hair. Modern drow have uniformly snow-white hair; however, it's a very common practice among all drow cultures to dye one's hair, either wholly or in more complex patterns, and thus characters on-panel have hair in every shade of the rainbow. It's particularly common, although not universal, to dye one's hair in the colors of one's clan, house, or bloodline, which provides a useful way both in-universe and for viewers to quickly tell who is part of what of what faction — for instance, most Val'Shargress characters dye their hair scarlet red, while Sil'lice's descendants usually dye theirs blue. A notable exception to this trend is Ariel, who uses her shapeshifting powers to simply make her hair whatever color she wants it to be without resorting to dye.

Amazing Technicolor Population
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_9e83f027
comment
Amazing Technicolor Population: More subtle than most examples of this, but while drow skin tones are almost always some variant of dark brown or black there's a fair amount of diversity among them. Besides the obvious difference between drowolath and drowussu, drow from different regions can also have remarkably different skin tones. This is most obvious when comparing the Nal'sarkoth to Chelian drow, and it's implied that other drow from of the city Mimaneid as similarly colored. And even within the same clan this can vary, since comparing Nega'fanea, who was born in Val'Raveran, and Balsii, a native of Nuqrah'shareh, shows that they have different colored highlights in their skin. And mixed-race drow run the gamut of somewhere between the two and dark or light enough to pass for one but not the the other. And then you get Farasank and his brother Farhang, who are both red, just to throw a wrench into things.

Proxy War: The Sullisin'rune Clan and the ruling Sharen Imperial Family were doing this using the Sarghress and the Vloz'ress respectively, especially since after being beaten by the Sharen centuries ago the Sullisin'rune are officially at peace with them and support the Sarghress,who started as a mercenary band and eventually became a great clan, to get around this. The Sharen in turn sponsored the Vloz'ress, formerly a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits group of demon worshipers, to themselves becoming a great clan.

Lost Superweapon: The Illhar'dro's engineers manage to bring an ancient airship back to life. Zala'ess comes to Nuqrah'shareh hopping to borrow it for her own war. But the Nidraa'chal manage to steal it, use it to stage attacks on colonies Snadhyarune doesn't control, steal all of the colonies' food, and pin the blame on the Sullisin'rune and the Sarghress. The airship is also used as a sadistic way to execute a Sarghress squad for wrecking Snadhya'rune's plans by having the mana cannons "miss" and torment their captain.

The Evil Prince: Gender-inverted with the three Sharen sisters Snadhya'rune, Zala'ess, and Sarv'swati, since the story takes place in a completely matriarchal society. They ousted their own mother Diva'ratrika from power and sealed her in her own throne room so she'll starve to death; pretended to rule as queen regents for the Vel'Sharen; and engineered the Nidraa'chal Wars. Snadhya'rune takes it even further by basically committing genocide of her own people by secretly making tainting themselves with faulty demon seeds standard practice; engineering a type of demon seed for Zala'ess's line that severely screws up their fertility and results in twisted still-born babies; and creating a deadly flower plague so she could force everyone to follow her in exchange for a cure.

Drop the Cow: In the Daydream subscription section of the site, where the users put in options for how the story will progress, this often ends up happening, though the frequency seems to have decreased in later years. Most commonly it's because a story devolves into porn or just becomes incomprehensible and too silly, and the story is frequently put back on track in a humorous manner such as one character telling the story getting punched out by another or the characters themselves revolting. One especially memorable incident had a character that the readers had been tormenting go Rambo on them.

Parental Neglect
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_a54534a0
comment
Parental Neglect: Though not universal, this is a very strong tradition among the Val class. The mother will usually raise her first daughter, but any successive children are usually given to elder siblings or even servants to raise so that the mother can play politics. In Val families, fathers almost never have a role in raising their children. It is not uncommon for the children of Vals to feel no bond towards their parents. This is ultimately Diva'ratrika's undoing, and Ash'waren is ultimately forced to flee her own clan to avoid the same fate. In the case of the Elder Siblings raising the children scenario, it is generally the eldest sibling who has not yet had their own first born child, as the birth of a child is seen as the sign of reaching adulthood within Drow Society. Which was really what caused Diva'ratrika's undoing because by this rule it fell to Snadhya'rune to raise all of her sisters as she was the eldest child, and refused to give into her mother's wishes for a granddaughter. It shouldn't be any surprise then that the majority of the Sharen Sisters helped Snadhya'rune dispose of their mother.

Sweet Polly Oliver: Ariel goes to the male section of the Wizarding School to avoid being trapped under the thumb of the headmistress, subverted in that she's found out almost instantly and only has her secret kept because no students are allowed to leave and spread the word, and once she is found out she has to leave. This also earns her the nickname of "The Sarghress Transvestite" among some of the other drow. Kel'noz and Mel'narach both did this, but not in Canon. Which was the subject of a side story and a later Mythology Gag.

The Light Elves of Vahaheimr are an even better example, sequestering themselves in the mountains with little to no contact with the outside world, as well as an extremely xenophobic attitude. They even take the presence of Chrinide and Shan'naal's group as a sign of bad things coming over the horizon.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Sil'lice illustrates the values of different species, which explain why people who are badass, Ax-Crazy, or extremists are portrayed sympathetically and/or positively. It's a casual fact that slavery is common in the drow world, and along with owning slaves several characters are slaves themselves. This has occasionally lead to fighting in the roleplays when some people want to free the slaves and take a modern perspective. invoked A played for laughs example is found in drow fashion, where Mel'arnach's dental floss doesn't garner much reaction, but Nibai's is considered risque. The reason? Ni'bai shows her neck. Which actually makes quite a bit of sense when you consider how warlike drow are and how the neck is a very vulnerable part of the body, and exposing it is asking for a knife to the jugular.

Dramatic Irony: For most of the story the audience has known that Ariel's mother is really Mel, not Quain, but Ariel herself still doesn't know. Additionally, any time the Sharen Sisters discuss Diva'ratrika in public has shades of this due to the fact that they know all too well that she's dead — they were the ones who did it! Also very much present on this page, where a still-recovering from her horrific childbirth Shinae hears Mel'arnach talking about her children and saying that they might as well not exist, and mutters to herself that some people have all the luck at being able to even have children. She doesn't know the circumstances behind this statement that the audience does, or the fact that "luck" is probably the last word Mel'arnach would use to describe her situation. Also happens on this page from the same chapter, where Yuh'le is telling Snadhya'rune about the presence of Sara'hilana at the gathering where she's collecting information for Zala'ess. Meanwhile, neither of them is aware of the presence of An'jin in the background doing the exact same thing.

No-Sell: A proper application of mana technique can disrupt attacks before they can be fired, as Jer'kol demonstrates. Additionally one of the few advantages non-fae have over fae is that they're completely immune to possession by nether spirits, lacking auras, though they can still be hurt by physical attacks carried out by someone who's possessed. For this reason the Sarghress have begun using a non-fae squad called the War Meat to run in ahead of the regular troops and kill the nether summoners before the rest move in for cleanup.

Alas, Poor Villain: For all the horrible, awful things Kalki has done, and even though she got very little sympathy for having her arm torn off to replace Ariel's, it's still hard not to feel sorry for her when a completely fed up Snadhya'rune murders her horribly via summon. The fact that she says "Mom?" in disbelief as she's left to her fate, along with the confirmation that Snadhya'rune has never seen her as anything other than a tool, let alone a child, only makes it more tragic. Especially considering that Snadhya'rune's "parenting" is a major reason why Kalki turned out the way she did.

Hellgate: Nether summoning revolves around opening gates to other dimensions made of Mana. These gates are incorporeal, only functioning as portals for mana and not physical objects. Pure Magic Beings known as nether demons live in many of the dimensions on the other side. Most demons are extremely dangerous to fae, being driven to feed on their Life Energy, even consuming them completely via Demonic Possession.

comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Thanks to Snadhya, all the other Sharen are having trouble conceiving children, as part of a gambit to ensure that her line will remain dominant. In chapter 47 however, her sister Zala is heavily pregnant in spite of this, and is setting up an alliance to resist her. Wanting to nip the alliance in the bud, Snad sends one of her agents to assassinate her, and Zala is stabbed in the belly. The attempt fails however because the pregnancy was faked; Childbearing is an incredible status-symbol in Drow society, and Zala had been attempting to improve her image. If Snad hadn't sabotaged her sister's fertility, Zala would have actually been pregnant, or wouldn't have been under pressure to fake it. Now Zala is out for her blood, and she will probably have a number of powerful factions backing her up.

Oh, Crap!: A few memorable instances detailed on the main page, and the entire fanbase collectively had this expression through most of Chapter 25. And then a Vloz'ress Scourge manages to top it by somehow managing to emote this through a mask, when he realized who Ariel is.

Pyrrhic Victory
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_ad9fbc1e
comment
Pyrrhic Victory: Sarv'swati Vel'Sharen works together with her sisters, Snadhya'rune and Zala'ess, to launch The Coup against their mother and kill her. This makes Sarv'swati the defacto leader of the Sharen clan, but destabilizes their empire and eventually provokes half of the clans into rebellion. By the time it's over, most of her children are dead and the throne room itself is under siege, with Sarv'swati breaking down in tears and begging the very mother she killed to come back. The Big Bad, Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen, enacts a series of schemes to ravage her city and make it collapse so that she can takeover uncontested. She is completely successful in ruining the city, and partially successful in taking over, but the city continues to fall apart beyond her control, leaving even her unhappy with how little there is left to rule.

Wizarding School: Orthorbbae. Much like the source material, Orthorbbae teaches magic and combat to boys and girls, except it's separated by gender; the towers are reserved for boys, while the much larger dome is for females. It is said that boys who wander into the dome are used for sacrifices and experiments.

Head-in-the-Sand Management: The attitude most of the other clans had towards the Nidraa'chal prior to the war, where the Sarghress and Kyorl'solenurn refused to pick sides, instead leaving it up to the Sharen. Later subverted as the Kyorl eventually changed their minds and sent their troops in to "purge" the demons, while the Sarghress' position consisted mainly of preventing any demons from entering their territory. Once Snadhya'rune's machinations become clear, almost everyone is gunning to take her down.

Abusive Parents
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Hoooo boy, Quain'tana. Let's see, of her three adult children, one is dead and has been turned into a golem, Kel'noz is officially subservient to her but has his own agenda (and readily acknowledges that she was a really bad mother) and then there's Mel'arnach, who was not only disowned and imprisoned, but beaten (and implied, raped) by Quain'tana's men, and then for her trouble had the child she wanted taken away from her. And then there's Syphile, who has a trope of her own... There are also plenty of others, and a current thread in the forum is titled "Worst parent in Chel" discussing this. The number of good parents (Shimi'lande, Kiel's mother Ven'ndia, Sarnel's caretaker Nei'kalsa if you're counting foster parents, and Waes'soloth spring to mind) can be counted on one hand... As well as Ash'waren, who is the neglectful type. After being told that her daughter Faen has returned traumatized, her reply was "Who?" And then after being reminded when Faen was born to help her remember, she merely comments on how Faen's father was a bad lay. This was fairly shocking to fans who had thought better of Ash'waren before this, leading at least one to comment that it seems that this is shaping up to be a general trait of Val mothers no matter who they are. And Snadhya shot up to the top of the list by Chapter 46. The other examples here may be abusive or neglectful, but none have stooped to straight-up murdering their children. This wasn't even a rage kill, or a tearful "I did what I had to do" moment; she brutally tears Kalki apart after calling her a worthless tool, whilst maintaining a perfect poker face. Yikes. Subverted in Mel's case. At first it seems she is following her lover's example, by trying to assassinate her daughter, but couldn't go through with it.

Fate Worse than Death: What Kharla'ggen does to people who "resist her, or catch her eye." Also arguably, Naal'suul spends much of the early chapters being a shell of her former self after being heavily tainted, and ends up succumbing to her demon taint in order to save her friends.

Wanted a Son Instead: Gender-inverted. As Drowlaths and their ancestors, the Dark Elves, live in matriarchal societies, daughters are more valuable than sons, with the highest positions of authority being only held by women.

comment
Baby Factory: It is generally unspoken that due to drowlath society being matriarchal, one of the men's roles is to serve as glorified sperm banks, especially for Val females. It's common for a female Val to have children with a man from a different clan in order to procure certain abilities for their bloodline. After the timeskip Mel'arnach is being used this way, having delivered two sons and having a daughter who's born during the story in order to give Quain'tana more heirs.

Duels Decide Everything
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_b2919411
comment
Duels Decide Everything: Standard in Mimaneid, where most conflicts are solved by duels (not to the death) with wooden staves. This is also commonplace within the Sarghress clan; if someone proposes a duel to settle a matter, no matter how ridiculous it is, then it must be followed. Kyo'nne uses it to her advantage by proposing a duel between Sang and a severely wounded Kel'noz, in a bid to stop the Sarghress traitors. Against all odds, Kel'noz wins and Sang dies, but the Sarghress traitors still capture Ariel's faction.

Heir Club for Men
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_b2f4114e
comment
Heir Club for Men: Gender-inverted; as the drowlaths are matriarchal, the position for Ill'haresses and Ill'hars are passed down from mother to daughter, a tradition that came from the equally matriarchal Dark Elves. This trope is also a major motivation for Quain'tana, whose inability to bear children caused her to use underhanded tactics to secure an heiress. It destroyed her family and resulted in one dead daughter, one daughter hating her with a burning passion and running to an abusive relationship with one of the clan's most hated enemies for the chance to escape, and one going through Hell and back simply trying to live up to all the expectations placed on her.

Colony Drop
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_b3eecaae
comment
Colony Drop: Occurred in the backstory, where the elves somehow managed to take a piece out of one of the moons (the broken moon can be seen fifth from the right in the first panel) and a piece of the moon that hit the planet's surface and created the underworld. This map heavily implies that most of the underworld is actually the crater from this impact and that the "ashes" that are mentioned as causing mutations among the later drow generations may be related to the moon fragment in the city of Sha'shi. More information can be found in the Sha'shi audiobook. It's also implied that the floating cities that have been said to exist have come crashing down to the surface on occasion.

No OSHA Compliance: Many characters come close to or actually die due to this trope. Golem operated elevators frequently have a big gap between the platform and the walls and no hand rails. The Beldrobbaen mostly live in structures built into the stalactites of Chel. Not all of their windows have glass. Staircases don't have handrails, as Yuh'le would find out.

comment
Too Dumb to Live: Yaeminira who is sent on a blatantly obvious suicide mission by a mother she knows hates her. She compounds this by going alone (well, with the golem) through the front gate and challenging one of the most ancient and powerful drow known to a duel which ends in a Curb-Stomp Battle Best part? Sil'lice gives her a thorough explanation, and offers to let her switch sides which she doesn't appear to even seriously consider. A chapter later Syphile arguably crosses into this. One image a forum member posted sums it up◊. One of Larvova's scourges finds out the hard way not to threaten Kiel when Kharla is around.

Aerith and Bob: Ariel versus — just about everyone with their multi-apostrophed names. Some fans have pointed out a good deal of the names drow sport are names found somewhere on earth, often with an apostrophe. For instance, Sarv'swati is one letter off from Saraswati, a Hindu Goddess, and many Kyorl'solenurn names have Japanese roots. Quain'tana is also the family name of an obscure writer. And amusingly, there is an actual Bob: Bob the undead chicken of doom.

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Kiel'ndia does this post-timeskip by using both hands to flip off Khaless for even suggesting they're alike. Her demons join in the fun, too. In Chapter 48, Waes'soloth does this in the end to Snadhya'rune by sending in those of her people who were deeply infected by the madness poison to be cured, knowing that Snadhya'rune doesn't have a cure at the moment or the means to create one so quickly. In Chapter 49, Anahid does this to Snadhya'rune after she learns the latter wants to recruit the clan Seers into the Nidraa'chal by suggesting she look for forgiveness from the actual victims when Snadhya'rune attempts to gain forgiveness for her actions.

He severely underestimates her the second time and gets beaten up by her, only to become chow for the demon Discordia after she catches up with him. See Karmic Death. Note that the first time didn't happen in the original version, which was squickier, but consensual.

Cannibalism Superpower: One of the few known ways to kill a demon is for another demon to eat them. Partially depending on the variety, this frequently results in the demon gaining traits of its victim. To at least some degree, this will also work on Fae. One of the legends claims that consuming demonic power is how Sharess ended the demon threat.

Also subverted- Diva'ratrika's too large to fit, and it's very likely that her decision to possess Ragini was because she would eventually grow too large to go in and out.

In one chapter a character gets a book about the Vel'cahal, which is the subject of a Daydream story that's presented as being historical fiction. Naal later buys a doll of the Vel'cahal which gets featured in the Hope Spot at the end of Chapter 27.

Double Agent: Lulianne. Sort of. Lu is spying on Mel for Quain'tana, but is sympathetic towards Mel, withholding information from Quain. She also did not bring Mel back when she escaped. Good? Bad? She's a double agent, it depends on your perception.

Big "NO!": Chapter 27, Page 35, uttered by Kiel. Also basically the entire fandom when they saw that page. As point of fact, essentially every other chapter will cause the entire fandom to scream this. The forum posts for basically the entirety of Chapter 33 are a particularly good example.

Golem
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_c3182167
comment
Golem: A staple of drow society, which is equal parts magic theory and engineering. They come in all shapes and sizes, but many are used for fairly mundane purposes (i.e. elevators and the like). More sophisticated applications use golems as prosthetics and war machines. Bio-Golems are essentially artificial beings, and can be created with auras to be able to use magic. They are noted to be created without sex organs to keep them from reproducing, which could cause problems down the road. They has also been limited uses of corpses being converted to golems. One apocryphal account of a living being given a poor man's lobotomy and converted into a golem that was faster and stronger than a corpse-golem, but they eventually recovered consciousness and killed themself upon discovering what they had become.

 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_c3bc970f
comment
Seers: Some people (supposedly) have the ability to look into the future. Pre-Retcon, this was implied to involve elements of You Can't Fight Fate. Early-Installment Weirdness remains, but now Kern states that Seeing doesn't involve miracles or looking through time at all. What is claimed to be foresight is actually a misinterpretation of a very unusual form of Empathy. Rather than seeing the future, they are merely experiencing the senses and future plans of other Fae. This ability is prominent among Drowussu females, which is why the Kyorl'solenurn clan has an order of them to serve as spiritual leaders. Apparently the Light Elves have this ability, too; the queen, Vala Hudr, complains of the presence of another Seer (Chirinide) "troubling" her Sight. It's not so surprising when the truth of Drowussu being the descendants of Light Elves is revealed.

comment
Hope Spot: It's tiny, but at the end of the tragic chapter 27, we see demon-Naal picking up a doll she bought at the market, and clutching it to her chest, implying that traces of her original mind is still there, somewhere. Confirmed in chapter 32, when she pushes Kiel away rather than eat her. Chapter 32 also has one that helps soften the blow of an otherwise pretty bleak ending for Mel. She's had her arms broken by Quain, her heart broken by Ariel rejecting her as being her real mother, and has agreed to give up at least one more child to Quain and be Quain's baby machine. However, the last page has Ariel come up to Mel and hold her hand, which hints that Ariel might have started to accept that Mel's her real mother. Apparently this ending was specifically added as something of a Writer Revolt by two members of the staff, who thought the extra page with the hand holding should be added.

Bestiality Is Depraved
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_c3fbac64
comment
Bestiality Is Depraved: One of the reasonsnote the other being that they're biologically incapable of reproducing with each other you won't see any fae/human hybrids in the Drowtales world. Drow consider having sex with goblins, including humans, to be roughly on par with a human having sex with a chimpanzee. When the Highland Raiders talk about one guy named Val'Doom who kidnaps human women to mate with they flat out refer to him as having a bestiality fetish. There's also Shoki, who has a pretty suspect relationship with his pet Noznote a type of orc.

The Dark Arts: Nether summoning is often seen this way and with good reason. In Chel, they are considered a borderline forbidden art and are the reason that the Vel clans who dabble with it have become so infamous. In Nuqrah'shareh, they are banned completely (aside from sending demons back to the nether of course).

Non-Standard Character Design: The artwork for the comic is to a very high standard and usually has a regular design aesthetic which was why it was all the more jarring to see this character◊(called Wordweaver Frehling) talking to Chry'stel Vel'Sharen in Chapter 34. He looked a lot more like he should be in a Disney film than in an Animesque webcomic.

Grand Theft Me: Diva'ratrika on Ragini, which has its own story. Interestingly, at first it was not canon, until the author gave in and made it canon. Once Ragini/Liriel is off the drugs and alcohol that kept Diva'ratrika's influence away for some time, Diva'ratrika takes advantage of the weakness and completely dominates her aura over Ragini, gaining a younger body but "killing" her slave for good.

Fan Disservice
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_c660bc15
comment
Fan Disservice: It's a pretty safe bet that almost any time nudity shows up outside of Daydream there will be an aspect of this. There's Naal'suul for part of chapter 13 sans-clothing (though you can't see anything) the disservice comes from her body language and posture due to being imprisoned in a dark cell, and the fact that she's talking about the demon that already Mind Raped her once and will eventually take advantage of her again and kill her. And it does, in chapter 27. Also, Kharla'ggen. She wears really low cut tops and is seen in a Bathtub Scene here and here with the later also having a Sexy Surfacing Shot. But she is completely insane with a childish personality. And again, normally Diva'ratrika naked would be pretty appealing, given that she's an unaging dark elf woman, but not when she's naked because being trapped in her throne room for a year has made her start losing her mind since she only has one slave for company and has been barely staying alive. And one of the few times we see fully uncovered, uncensored breasts in the main archive is... on a possessed pregnant woman, whose fetus is reaching out of her stomach and is also possessed. EUGH. There's also the beautiful, uncovered body of Sharess, the sexiness of which is mitigated by the fact that she's a thousand-year-old corpse. The crowning moment so far probably has to be in Chapter 32, largely thanks to Mood Whiplash, where Rek'mar and Lulianne's love scene goes from sweet to OMG WTF in the space of a page. Thanks a lot, Khaless. There's also Faen's shower scene, the sexiness of which is off put by the fact that she apparently has issue with self mutilation because she's seen digging her fingernails into her back until she bleeds. The first two panels give you just enough time to get into voyeur mode, and then... And then there's Demon!Naal, who's completely topless and very well endowed, but it gets offset by what the rest of her body looks like, mainly that it's a giant dementedly grinning demonic face, to say nothing of the freakishly long arms that, you may recall, belong to other people and corpses that she's absorbed over the years. Chapter 46 also has a whopper in the form of a Bedmate Reveal of two female characters. However this scene has three very big things wrong with it. The first, mainly showing that a female character used her shapeshifting to turn into a male, isn't so bad on its own (especially since it's implied that something similar occurred with Ariel and Faen) but the second is that the shapeshifter in question is Khaless, an Eldritch Abomination Mind Hive and the third is that other party is Kharla'ggen, who for the most part appears to have the mental capacity of a child adding a definite layer of Questionable Consent, especially since the seduction had definite "candy in my van" vibes.

Shout-Out
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Sarghress clan symbol has an uncanny resemblance to Guts' brand in Berserk, and Kern says that the anime series was very influential on him. And Kyo'nne's Xellos impression. The summon near the ceiling looks like Pac-Man. Kharla'ggen's hair makes her resemble Washu, especially since the demon Sene'kha plans to use Kharla to summon looks like a crab, which is Washu's symbol. And speaking of Washu, Diva is quite similar to the original version of Washu from the OVA, in that she's really a lot more powerful than she looks, is hiding in plain sight and in a much younger body. Chrys'tel tells Kiel that a Vel'Sharen repays her debts, which recalls Tyrion Lannister and the (unofficial) Lannister family motto from A Song of Ice and Fire. Probably intentional given that the author is known to be a fan of the series. And the fate of Shinae's baby may be a reference to Daenerys' first child, who was corrupted while in the womb and born horribly deformed.

Satisfied Street Rat: Deconstructed. Before she became the leader of the Sarghress, Quain'tana grew up as an impoverished street rat who stole food to survive. After witnessing a Sharen dragon knight brutally kill her friend for theft, Quain'tana gradually developed a deep hatred for Vals, especially the Vel'Sharen. When she tried passing on her beliefs to her children, she ended up creating a dysfunctional family with two daughters hating her with a passion, and a third daughter (who did end up emulating her) dying and becoming a golem nether sealer.

Decadent Court: Many, but not just the drow. The Sullisin'rune are experiencing problems from this due to Ash'waren's parental indifference and constant partying to cope with being the last survivor of her original royal family, creating a hive of deception, mistrust, and murderous intent. Several of Ash'waren's children have joined the Nidraa'chal out of deep resentment for their mother, and one of them has managed to inflict scars on her chest in a failed attempt to kill her. Apparently fleeing home is not enough as Bae'rali manages to corner her and nearly kills her. The human kingdom of Nagyescsed has the king and queen collecting elves to kill so he could bathe in their blood and the suggestion that the kingdom just needed a decent push to fall over as it did, courtesy of Ariel and company.

Disease Bleach: A long-term version of this occurs with both Drowolath and Drowussu, who tend to have darker hair in earlier generations (i.e. closer to their surface born ancestors) while later generations almost always have white hair. This is true of Drowussu to a lesser extent, since they tend to have color stay around through later generations, but their hair tends to be a lighter color in the first place. It's suggested that the lightened hair along with their skin is the result of the "ashes" which may be tied to the moon fragment that's in Sha'shi and was responsible for the creation of the underworld.

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Sorane'Saniil. In fact most of the males in Sorane'Saniil's entire clan. Also, given that the world of Drowtales takes place in a matriarchal society where men tend to fulfill what we would perceive as feminine roles, there are many examples of this throughout all the drow clans.

Taking You with Me: One thing that makes tainted so dangerous is that even if they get so badly injured that they won't survive their seeds can then take them over and continue to cause destruction, and their tainted auras can then go on to taint other people. In fact, this is used as a tactic by certain tainted, and Syphile is explicitly told that even if she dies while trying to kill Quain'tana releasing her seed should finish the job.

The Origin of the Jaal'darya story elaborates on this as being related to the ability to separate one's own aura from that of the child growing inside them when they give birth, with the same technique being used to create a traditional summon. Nether summoning has no such gender restriction, which is one reason it's become increasingly popular.

Settling the Frontier
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_ccc0d531
comment
Settling the Frontier: The story is set when the Drow race is right in the middle of the colonization effort. There had been many false starts in the past, but thanks to the war, things are picking up in earnest with each faction struggling to use the colonies as a tool to take control of the population. The Illhar'dro and Nal'sarkoth clans were involved a little while ago and have a head start. More recently, the Sharen and Beldrobbaen clans have been enslaving their citizens and sending them to a Penal Colony in a desperate bid to retain their empire. The Sarghress have been much more interested in taking Chel itself, but they do have a colony in the upper portion of Machike. Snadhya'rune herself seems to have made this strategy a major keystone of her plan.

Politically-Active Princess: Most of the female cast counts, since their society is a Matriarchy, so it's expected. Zala'ess Vel'Sharen is probably the best example, since she's the politician among her three sisters. Because Queen Diva'ratrika is quite reclusive, her daughters perform most of her duties. In fact, the older sisters convinced Zala'ess to help them wall in their mother in a secret coup.

In the case of the Elder Siblings raising the children scenario, it is generally the eldest sibling who has not yet had their own first born child, as the birth of a child is seen as the sign of reaching adulthood within Drow Society. Which was really what caused Diva'ratrika's undoing because by this rule it fell to Snadhya'rune to raise all of her sisters as she was the eldest child, and refused to give into her mother's wishes for a granddaughter. It shouldn't be any surprise then that the majority of the Sharen Sisters helped Snadhya'rune dispose of their mother.

Modest Royalty: The Beldrobbaen clan members, including their Ill'haress, dress themselves in simple, black clothing, which contrasts the colorful luxury of the other clans. Justified, as in Beldrobbaen culture it is very rude to stand out in any way, and wearing bright colors in their territory is seen as an insult.

Unusual Euphemism - the phrase "going to live as a hermit", judging from what we know about fae biology and their dependence on mana. In other words, it might in fact be code for suicide by mana deprivation.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Said word-for-word in two instances. According to a joking dramatization by Phani'lath Vel'Shaen, Diva'ratrika became so disillusioned with clan politics that she apparently left in the middle of her own meeting. In chapter 38, this happens when demons come lurking into the settlement from a nether gate carved into an unlucky drow. Perfectly understandable given the circumstances. Also done by both the Beldrobbaen and The Black Sun en masse so not to lose numbers after it becomes obvious that the Sharen are on the losing side of the war with the Sarghress.

Portal Cut: A rather unusual example can occur with nether gates. They act as portals to Another Dimension for Mana, the substance of demons and Life Energy of Fae, but not for physical objects. As such, if a Fae passes through a large enough nether gate, it can rip their "soul" from their body.

Who's Your Daddy?: After Sillice's twins were introduced, the first question many people had was who their father was. A Daydream story eventually revealed that it's Kor'maril. The twins however know who it is, so this was more for the fans. Snadhya'rune just mentioned that the father of her daughter Kalki was a Sarghress. It's even worse than many speculated. It's Mel.

Red Herring: Possible example in chapter 44. When Wi'am shows up helping an apparent dark elf stand up out of a wheelchair, the fact that this elf has the same hair color as Diva'ratrika lead many to assume that it was another Diva Body Double or golem with only a few people noticing that the arms looked unusually muscular for a female. Later in the chapter we find out that the elf is actually Zhor, sporting a new humanoid body thanks to the Jaal'darya.

Quantity vs. Quality
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_dd09e7f2
comment
Quantity vs. Quality: When the Sarghress and Sharen armies come into conflict during the District War, their respective strengths can be compared in this way. The Sharen army is filled with highly skilled summoners and sorcerers. The Sarghress clan is mostly made up of foot soldiers. The Sharen have the strongest mounts, but dragons are slower to breed than Sarghress wolves. Sharen golems are extremely powerful, but cost a lot of energy and are expensive to build. Sarghress golems are energy efficient and can be mass produced. Overall, the average Sharen soldier can easily match an entire squad of Sarghress, but the Sarghress outnumber them considerably and can replace their ranks more easily.

comment
Continuity Cameo: Lots! This page features over a dozen cameos from the roleplays, side comics, Daydream and comics done by other members of the staff. Kharla'ggen◊ can be seen holding a plushie of An'Jhali, the Illharess of the Tei'kaliath clan from the visual roleplay, in several pieces of art. Characters from the Relic Hunters visual roleplay have also made cameos in the story proper as important characters in the Highland Raiders. In one chapter a character gets a book about the Vel'cahal, which is the subject of a Daydream story that's presented as being historical fiction. Naal later buys a doll of the Vel'cahal which gets featured in the Hope Spot at the end of Chapter 27. Dhal'zin of the Alstrat's Journal audiobook series appears in chapter 20 with her Stone Company, but interestingly, Fen, the main character of that series does not, instead it's his descendant Kai, but Dhal confuses the two (even though they do, in fact, look very different). Taio'shi and Cer'kal, two characters from that year's winning contest story, appear in chapter 31. It's also implied that their story may be part of the main story's canon now, since the contest story showed that Mikilu lived with Taio'shi, and that same character appeared several pages after Taio'shi and Cer'kal, the implication being that Mikilu had them plant the mana bomb that nearly blew up Snadhya's carriage which is later confirmed in the Battlefield Engineers canon sidestory, which also shows that Cer'kal was badly burned in another attempt to kill Snadhya.

Zala'ess is implied to be this, and she wanted to kill her daughter Vy'chriel's protector twin Yaeminira after the latter murdered her real daughter, and only grudgingly allowed her to take her place at the urging of her own sister Sarv'swati.

Mama Bear: Zala'ess is implied to be this, and she wanted to kill her daughter Vy'chriel's protector twin Yaeminira after the latter murdered her real daughter, and only grudgingly allowed her to take her place at the urging of her own sister Sarv'swati. It's also been suggested that Zala'ess' main redeeming quality is her love for her children. Shimi'lande is also implied to be this for the entire Drowussu race, seeing as she serves a sort of adoptive mother figure to all of them. She's left quite shaken when a dollified Warden is sent to her and tries to declare war on the Vloz'ress, mistakenly thinking they're responsible. Subverted with Mel'arnach, who has been conditioned by Snadhya'rune so thoroughly that she doesn't stop Kalki from cutting off Ariel's arm, fully expecting Snadhya'rune to take control of the situation. Zhor calls her out on this.

Our Gods Are Different
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_e1ecdac3
comment
Our Gods Are Different: Pre-Retcon, goddesses were the counterparts of demons and also lived in the nether realms. It was possible for priestesses to channel their powers. None of the above is true post-Retcon. Instead, before the first demonic crisis, Dark Elves worshiped the moons. After the demonic invasions, Sharess shed her mortal body and became a reverse-demon-thing, fought the demons in their own realm, and closed the nether gates from the inside. She was then revered by the Drow as a goddess. However, after the chapter reboots, her religion has been on the wane for a long time and is practiced largely by the Kyorls. Going with this, her presence in the rebooted continuity is diminished greatly, indicating that her abilities are severely diminished or that she's a lot less active in lives of the Drow. In time, other religious views came into existence that worshiped powerful demons as gods, largely by various nether cults such as the Vloz'ress.

The Clan: Nine major ones and countless smaller ones, and the driving conflicts in the series are clan-based. Several prominent Vloz'ress believe that the solution to all these conflicts is to force the clans to disband and enter a democratic system.

The Coup
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_e27693
comment
Sarv'swati Vel'Sharen works together with her sisters, Snadhya'rune and Zala'ess, to launch The Coup against their mother and kill her. This makes Sarv'swati the defacto leader of the Sharen clan, but destabilizes their empire and eventually provokes half of the clans into rebellion. By the time it's over, most of her children are dead and the throne room itself is under siege, with Sarv'swati breaking down in tears and begging the very mother she killed to come back.

Our Souls Are Different
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_e294a0be
comment
Our Souls Are Different: A Fae's aura is occasionally referred to as their souls. Their auras are entities of Mana, a special form of energy that keeps them young, in strong health, and allows them to manipulate their environment. When a fae lives alone for a while, it starts to age. It is possible to separate an aura from the Fae's body, resulting in a summon. However, their "souls" are almost as mortal as their bodies, and the setting lacks an afterlife, leaving Cessation of Existence as their ultimate fate when their Mana inevitably dissipates.

Not Quite Dead: As one forum poster put it, it seems that Dark Elves have the tenacity of cockroaches since within a few chapters, 3 of them, Diva'ratrika through a Fusion Dance, Ash'waren through a Jedi Mind Trick, and whatever Sha'sana did, have been shown to have survived. It also lead one poster to proclaim that Snadhya'rune is really bad at killing people.

Mana

comment
A few unusual traits includes their immortality being conditional on being in a high-mana environment, meaning among a large number of other elves. If alone, they will begin to age and eventually die. Their ears also get more pointed as they age, as keratin is continuously laid down: young elves' ears are simple triangles, while long, sharply pointed ears are the only real sign of age in ancient elves. Also, drow skin colors change slightly depending on where they come from — Chelian drow have chocolate-brown skin, those from Mimaneid are more charcoal-grey, Nuqran drow are lighter grey and so on.

Transformation of the Possessed: Fae are as much beings of Mana as they are of flesh. And when their "souls" are altered, their body gradually changes to match. When Fae are possessed by demons, or in rare cases summons, their bodies will typically twist to reflect the new occupant's own form.

Faen's fleeing was originally drawn in 2003, which means it took 7 years "real time" for Ariel to rescue Faen. Talk about "The Longest Wait!"

comment
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Due to a high mortality rate most drow don't live long enough to experience this, but very old drow and dark elves often fall into this as they get older and older, in part due to the massive amounts of mana their bodies require to stay young, essentially confining them to large cities. Some dark elves underground committed suicide out of despair at the knowledge that they'd probably never see the surface again.

Ensemble Cast: Started off with focus on Ariel but the cast kept growing until there was 4-5 important story arcs running at the same time with equally important characters. Currently there was nearly a year where Ariel was never seen with more important plot lines hogging the pages. Not to mention all those layers of plots of even greater importance that live in the background and probably will burst into foreground in the future.

The Un-Favourite: Anyone who isn't Laele'aell or Ariel is this for Quain'tana. Syphile is this trope in drow form. Mel'arnach is also this, having her privileges taken away as soon as her sister Laele'aell died and, when she failed to become the ideal heir, was forced to sire babies and potential heirs for Quain'tana. This turns Mel'arnach against her mother completely to where she sides with the Nidraa'chal despite knowing deep down that Snadhya'rune is not much better.

Innocent Innuendo: Chapter 45 opens with a classic example, showing Ariel moaning in deep pleasure and clutching her bedsheets while Die'tra, listening outside, praises Faen. Except Faen's just combing Ariel's hair.

Law of Inverse Fertility
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_f4f3252e
comment
Law of Inverse Fertility: Affects most female fae, since fae in general have low birth rates, but Quain'tana's case is cause of much angst and many plot developments. This also means that Diva'ratrika, while over a thousand years old, has only had five (surviving) daughters and one son, Zala'ess has had many more and Sil'lice outright says that she's had to do a lot of screwing around to get that many, though many if not most of them seem to have the same father. And because drow have No Periods, Period it means that they never go through an equivalent of menopause, which explains how Ash'waren can be as old as Diva'ratrika and still be producing children. Mel'arnach also says that she was trying for several decades to get pregnant, though it may be due to the father being Zhor than the usual problems fae face.

Everyone Is Armed
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_f56d2c81
comment
Everyone Is Armed: A side effect of Chel's ever escalating Civil War. Due to the nature of the Sarghress clan, this trope is particularly prevalent in Sarghress-controlled districts, to the point that the commoners even form The Cavalry when the Sarghress get in over their heads. Kiel also discovers this much to her dismay here. Of particular note is one lady who seems to have a blade in her pipe.

Despite being a Superior Species the drow in particular are not actually that different from the goblin races. Just take a look at how the drow consider the goblin races. Now take a closer look at the drow. Ironic that the ones who consider halmes akin to locusts almost destroyed their own planet for mana-based life a millenia ago, isn't it?

Matriarchy
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_f7057d51
comment
Matriarchy: Zigzagged, as while it is the main focus, it is not the only society in the world. Dark Elf and Drowlath societies are largely of the "Patriarchal Flip" variety, with elements of "Original". Women are the dominant gender, and it shows in them being physically taller than their men. They're also physically and magically stronger, with certain magics such as traditional summoning being practiced only by women. As such, they often occupy the highest positions of authority, and the position of Ill'haress is passed from mother to daughter. This however, has not stopped men from achieving higher positions, as the Sarghress clan allows male captains and Rosof, a senior advisor, is the only seen male Dev'ess (minor queen) of House Tions. Inverted with Light Elf societies, which are completely patriarchal. The Light Elves are always ruled by the king, and queens are essentially figureheads who get their power from their husbands. This leaves the queen vulnerable to marriage proposals from ambitious nobles when her husband dies without an heir. The Drowussu are a zigzagged example. The Kyorl'solenurn clan is led by an Ill'haress, and while men and women have specific gender roles (men can only be Templars and Blades, while women can only be Seers and Wardens), the position of Inquisitor is gender-neutral, as there has been male empaths in the clan. In truth, the Ill'haress is a political figurehead for the clan's true rulers, the Judicators who are actually Light Elves, and the female members are outnumbered by the males, in order to maintain respect among the Drowlaths, who vastly outnumber them. Attempts by the Judicators to control the Kyorl leads to a schism and leads to Valla'drielle, their Unwitting Pawn, sending a Nidraa'chal agent after them. The conflict is later calmed when Anahid becomes the rightful Ill'haress, while the last surviving male Judicator willingly steps down to let the new generation lead the clan.

Great Offscreen War
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_f722f635
comment
Great Offscreen War: There are several of these in elven history, with the War Of The Moons having the most impact, since it's the reason the surface is no longer inhabitable, and then various conflicts within Chel's history. Specific incidents include the Sharen/Sullisin'rune War, the War between the Dark Elves and Drow, and the conflict between the Sharen and Sarghress after the collapse of the Skyhole that resulted in Quain'tana becoming barren mostly occurring offscreen and in the past. We have seen Quain's conquest of Machike in its own side story and the Nidraa'chal War makes up the story's Prologue.

Love Makes You Dumb: Mel'arnach knows that Snadhya'rune is just as controlling and manipulative than Quain'tana, but chooses to ignore it because Snadhya'rune has treated her kindly despite it being motivated by ulterior goals. During their argument, Zhor calls Mel'arnach out on letting Snadhya'rune treat her like someone's pet even though she knows better, to which Mel'arnach replies that she wishes he remained a spider beast instead.

Translation Punctuation: The comic is a bit inconsistent on this due to it having more than just one artist. For example, the main story uses angle brackets and a slightly different font when translating Halme to the language of the Drows, whereas the side story following Vaelia's journey uses a vaguely Japanese looking font when translating from Emberi.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Slightly reversed.The setting of Drowtales has many Drow clans in the running, however the clan of armor plated, demonhunting zealots whose daily routine requires purging the tainted ones whenever possible would generally be considered the mascot of this trope. And just to show how gray the morality in the world is, in many ways they're right. Funnily enough, their arch-enemy clan of Vloz'ress used to be it too before Kiel took over and ended that plan. Their goal was to end all wars in the world by turning everyone into mind-controlled puppets... In Chapter 16, the Val'Jaal'Darya Clan Ill'haress, Asira'malika, related a story of a frontier settlement that eventually succumbed to the ravages of war, natural disasters, and the like. Using this story, she justifies her clan's intent to destroy potential threats to Chel'el'sussoloth before they have an opportunity to present themselves.) Also, Sene'kha planned to kill off all the nobles (with Kharla acting as prison for a demon god) to end the clan system.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Giving the setting, this is averted near constantly. Women get just as badly injured and dirty as their male counterparts, and even Kyo'nne, they most stereotypically feminine of the main cast, takes a full on punch to the face and has a visible bruise for some time afterwards. And Kiel'ndia probably has the worst of it where even after surviving being poisoned she's clearly a mess and has to remove the clotted blood from her eye to open it. And even Snadhya'rune, who so far hasn't engaged in any direct fighting on panel, ends up with a black eye and bloody after her carriage is tipped over.

Symbiotic Possession
 Drowtales (Webcomic) / int_ff369faa
comment
There's also "Possession Lite" in the form of "Tainting". Since demons need to be able to overpower their host to possess them, and only one demon at a time can infect a fae, deliberate tainting with a minor demon has become a standard practice and is used as a "vaccine" against possession. This makes tainting essentially a prerequisite for all but the most overconfident of nether summoners, though incidental tainting is pretty common. A stable taint will can keep a drow safe from possession indefinitely, though a heavy tainting can eventually overpower the host, and the side effects of an unstable taint can include loss of emotion and feeling, mutation, and mental instability. Heavy taint can be held at bay with specialized sealing equipment, usually in the form of a mask or helm. The art of summoning, tailored mutation, sealing, and deliberate possession is all a science unto itself. If that weren't bad enough, only the correct kind of demon would be suitable for a long term tainting. The incorrect kind of demon incubates in their host about 50 years or so before blossoming into a possession. This makes a large number of drow, including a considerable portion of the cast into potential ticking timebombs. And nobody realizes it!

Exotic Eye Designs: Several variations. All Drow have a red sheen to their pupil that helps them see in the dark that their surface-born brethren lack, while tainted characters have red iris that replaces whatever eye color they had naturally, and people who are fully possessed by their seeds or are sentient demons like Khaless and Naal have completely red eyes with white at the pupil and around the iris. And an even rarer variant has a white spiral appear in the pupil, with Sha'sana, briefly Liriel/Diva and Kiel'ndia the only examples so far.

Zala'ess seems to genuinely love her children, and Sil'lice, who before was shown taking joy in torturing tainted gained major Pet the Dog points when she was revealed to have little twins in the form of Kau and Shala, who she named after a son who died in the Nidraa'chal war. Quain'tana's relationship with Ash'waren is also something of a Pet the Dog in regards to showing that the usually gruff and badass Ill'haress has a soft side.

Shown Their Work: Aside from the Empath "painkillers", the medical tools used by the healer working on Quain'tana would not be out of place in a modern field-hospital, and neither would the procedure that said healer is using to remove the corruption that has been literally plaguing Quain for days. The bits of flesh being removed are also all what one would find during an operation to remove a deeply embedded fungal growth.
