"You shall serve in the second wave, protecting the Nobles before they enter the fray. Suffer any truly dangerous adversaries to live before our arrival, and we will be displeased."
——Commands typically given to a Drow Spellblade
The Drow Spellblade is a House Warrior of common birth who has shown exceptional prowess in both martial combat and Eldritch magic, allowed access to some of the training and discipline normally only afforded noble males. Perhaps as much a method of survival as due to practice in such a hostile environment, the Drow Spellblade has learned to blend their spells with their attacks, combining the two natural affinities of the dark elves into a deadly weapon. These males are better equipped than others and are known to serve in elite units meant for overthrowing rival houses and carrying out risky assaults or raids.
