Drow Elf, White Elf, Frost Giant, and Hill Giant writeups updated. *note: Got a little lazy on the lore for the Frost and Hill Giants as they are incredibly similar circumstances.

Heat Infravision allows the Drow to see in complete darkness. They can see most living creatures and warmth in shades of red, room temperature objects as greys, and colder items as blues. Gender | Min Height | Max Height | Min Weight Female | 6'| 7' | 165 lb Male | 5'6" | 6' | 120 lb Drow have always existed on Tessanis. They built civilizations underground in massive caverns and tunnels, and were a fierce, sinister, matriarchal society, as the females are larger and stronger. They worshiped the spider goddess Lolth, gaining favor and blessings from her, up until the Departure of Magic. Lolth, preferring her own plane of existence, became cut off from her subjects. This split the race, those that were in denial at the loss of their deity, still believing she could hear them and aid them. These Drow stayed behind in their civilizations, and pray for the day their Goddess returns to them. The Drow that felt freed by Lolth's separation left their civilizations and became travelers, adventurers, or settled in places with other races. They are still sneaky, tricky, cunning, and manipulative, but for their own purposes rather than their Goddess'.

Gender | Min Height | Max Height | Min Weight Female | 5'| 6' | 120 lb Male | 5' | 6' | 120 lb White elves have never really had their own society. They keep to themselves, raising their children away from the rest of the world. As a White Elf achieves adulthood, they completely forget their entire childhood. These memories are replaced by a singular life Purpose. When this occurs, the parents tend to leave the elf so as to not impede this goal. These Purposes can vary widely from bringing love to a specific individual to saving an entire nation from invasion. No one is sure as to what causes this, but because it continues to occur, they believe it isn't magical in nature. Prior to the disappearance of magic, White Elves that completed their Purpose would disappear, presumably to another plane of existence. Now when they complete their Purpose, they tend to receive a new one within a year.

Gender | Min Height | Max Height | Min Weight Female | 11' | 14' | 2000 lb Male | 13' | 16' | 2500 lb Frost Giants have long lived in the mountains and colder regions of Tessanis. They've maintained primitive tribal societies, and are often at odds with more "civilized" races. They were fairly unaffected by the Departure of Magic, and actually thrived due to less mages being able to hunt them. A few of them, either the smarter or tamer of their species, managed to settle in proper civilizations. They are protected under the same laws as other Ebonfortions, so long as they follow them as well.
