After encountering a dark eldari, Gary explained what they were to Captain Warlock.
Billions of years ago, the Eldari encountered a creature from Beyond. This evil creature infected some Eldari with its own evil. It is said that it is a germ that lives in spiders. Others say it is a great spider. What ever it is, its spreads by infection. This germ spreads a degenerative diease that makes one a drow, or outcast. The diease not just spreads the contagion, but also a religion. The germs are called Lolth, and Lolth worship may be the only faith spread by infection in the known universe. When infected, the eyes become sensitive to light, and like a spider, one wants to burrow deep, and hide and spring on prey. The rather prudish and erudite Eldari, when infected by Lolth, become rather randy and aggressive. They lose their calm longevity and become brutish, shortlived*, schemers. Drow can befound almost everywhere, but they are hard to locate. They burrow and live underground. They are smart, but since being outcast from proper Eldari society, they don't have the technology that is associated with that bright race. Instead, due to their time underground, they have, on occassion, learned secrets. These secrets are sometimes buried for good reasons, but the Drow are arrogant, and fear nothing. And each Drow feels the constant whispering of the germs in their blood. Germs that speak with the voice of Lolth, the Mother Of Spiders. She is always pulling at the webs, weaving her coocoon through out the universe. No race, not even the Illithids, are as universally hated and feared like the Drow. Luckily the tribes are as eager to fight amongst themselves as they are with anyone else, or they would be unstopable.
