Arachne rocks. And apparently she’s rocked since she was a small child.
Know not supposed to ask, just how old <i>is</i> Arachne? Not looking for a specific age, just a general idea (or are Drow in this world Immortal unless killed?)
even not immortal elfs live for hundreds of years
I think all Elves can get a lot older than normal People. Maybe double the age or something?
So pretty much, once they reach ‘adult-hood’ they stop ageing? Or do they take decades to get through puberty?
I had been going more or less by old D&D elf aging standards without following their actual charts. Different species of Elf age differently and live different lengths, all much longer than Humans. Generally they’re not immortal like Tolkien Elves.
At least in the AD&D 1st Edition rules, different Elf tribes did indeed have different lifespans. Wood Elves could live for about 1000 years or so, up to about 2500-3000 years for Grey Elves. Heck, even Half-Elves could live for about 350 years or so.
A "good listener." Read as "spy."

Reading the Dark Elf trilogy right now. Seems like Drow typically live around 500 years. There are exceptions, with one having lived an think over 1000, but think it likely that one is using a trick.
