Nephilia is pretty good at this queen-gig, isn't she? She may turn out to be the best Drow queen we've seen in YAFGC so far... She's willing to take hits to the famous Drow pride in the name of Drow survival.

Yeah, I'm not surprised by Glon's attitude. Everyone remember what happened when they were in the Hyeesha's harem? ^_^;

Aw... I was curious about drow wedding practices.
Orc weddings still look like fun, though. I wonder what the smashing of the little statues symbolize...

The defeat of spirits who might oppose the union of two souls? The killing of the old to laud in a new phase in life?

Wait. Have enough Drow men been freed and consequently married for them to have wedding rituals of their own?

Since the concept of marriage rather than pet seems to exist in their society, yes. Probably? Lolth certainly seems to condone it. Silk had 7 "husbands" as well.

With the statues, the first thing that lept to mind was a sort of pledge to stand in defiance of enemies like the human kings. Warlike things like that seemed appropriate for orcish society, even at weddings.

Yay! A big wedding, a happy end for Wolf, reason all around, Nephilia as a lovely dancer, everyone is one big happy family... and we get a yaoi reference! I mean, could the day get any better?

How about a slap-up dinner, a medal for general achievement and a nice date with a member of whatever gender you're attracted to -- provided you're not already married?

The men don't have to be freed to get married. Remember, Nephilia decided to change things when she freed Wolf first.

Throw in a nobel and the scales could balance

Also, is every drow man a slave?

Sure seems like they are.

I think Wolf is greatly dupped.
I like him, so I'm distressed.
His marriage isn't legal now by drowish laws (ergo, hia status is doubtful)...

Huh? How is he duped?

What do you mean, his marriage isn't legal? It was ordained by Lolth, and she is The Law in Drow society, more's the pity.

Well, if you're right, I'm glad :biggrin:
