I know that some recent materials are saying that the elven population of Toril is in decline, but does that go for the drow too? An is there any kind of push to rebuild their population among the elves?— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 5, 2020
1)
Drow reproduce often (a typical female may have ten children), but the violence of their culture leads to heavy casualties. This has “always” been the case, not something that’s changed recently.# 2)
True drow population figures are hard to get, and the drow always like to think of themselves as oppressed but supreme, whereas others tend to think of drow as far too numerous. Elminster’s not noticed any decline.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 5, 2020
