Tweet(@hauntedbyspells): Hey Mr.Greenwood! I've got you a question :P I've recently been playing as a Lolth-sworn drow, and while studying drow society and traditions, I started wondering—how does drow society view trans people and transition? Could you help me understand this better?

good news: lolth said trans rights
