Drow? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Though I fail to see the shortsightedness of my opinion above (considering I was looking back rather than forward), I did take the time to google a while, and I found only TSR-inspired drow. The idea of drow may very well have originated in antiquity, but as far as modern examples go, they all spring from Dungeons and Dragons and not from Tolkien. If they do come from old Nordic sagas, I would love to read them, but since we've agreed that drow do not pertain to Middle-earth, there's really no reason to continue this topic.
