"Peaceful drow,"

You must consider that you are a stranger in a strange land, should your claims even be true. On more occasions than I wish to know of, drow have inserted themselves, infiltrating our societies by claims of desired friendship and a turn away from their dark origins. Taking advantage of examples of redemption made by their nobler cousins who truly do wish to fight against the evils of their kind, they then lead scores of their wretched brethren to make strikes on our homes. While your intentions may be as pure as you say, and others have proven theirs before you, you must understand that we cannot know for certain until time and circumstance have proven for you as well. The sad truth of the matter is that even after you have turned from the path of evil and treachery, you still have a substantial journey of gaining trust ahead of you. Patience is necessary for all parties. This will not be the first time you are questioned or doubted, this is just the reality of the situation. I just hope that my words here help you and others understand why.

I hate drow as I believe their evil has no place in this world. However, I have seen those who illustrate, in my eyes, a clear distinction between "Drow" and "Dark elf." Becoming the latter will take time.
