Drow live in huge underground cities with mind-bending names such as Menzoberranzan. They worship the Spider Queen Lolth, and their society is a Machiavellian place with no room for love, honor or friendship. Drizzt is the third son of the house of Do'Urden, fated to be a sacrifice to the Spider Queen at birth. However, one of Drizzt's brothers kills the other, making him the second son, and he is spared. From the start, Drizzt doesn't fit in: he is a competent swordsman, but despises the ruthlessness and senseless violence of Drow society. When the Drow make a surface raid, Drizzt spares a faerie child, and thus brings the Spider Queen's disfavor upon him and his house.
