02-15-08, 10:41 AM I'm playing in a campaign set in Cormyr, where I am playing an officer in the Purple Dragon Knights of Cormyr. The background of the character is one of aristocracy, but said character (2nd of 3 brothers) has taken the values of protection and honor and service truly to heart and has dedicated his life to military service, abandoning his honorary titles (albeit not in a way that caused offense and shame to the family). I've been directed by my DM to figure out how my character would not be a flat-out enemy of a Drow and how I would be able to get along and adventure with one...

...trouble is, I can't really come up with anything good. Any help would be awesome.
