Lolth's test (https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/races/elf/drow2.shtml) is an example of why I don't want to play Lolth drow. What do you think? Which drow do you choose?

By the way, I want to ask lovers of sworn Lolth-Sworn Drow, would you like the mechanics of this test to be in play when you level up your drow?

Lolth-Sworn Drow
Raised by Lolth's cult in the city of Menzoberranzan, these drow extol the virtues of their corrupt and merciless goddess. Lolth marks her followers with bright red eyes so the Underdark will learn to fear drow on sight.

VS

Seldarine Drow
Drow are the result of an ancient schism between the elven deities Corellon Larethian and Lolth. The latter's treachery drove the drow into the Underdark, where they splintered into warring factions. Seldarine drow can be found seeking allies from all over Faerun, aiming to settle their conflict with Lolth - and each other - by any means necessary.

Lolth-sworn drow being chaotic evil is a misconception. It's not because Lolth herself is that her followers have to be. For instance, in 5e, the priestesses of Lolth are neutral evil. And I am pretty sure you can play a loyal evil follower of Lloth as well.

The real comparison I would make between the two factions is one being racist and cruel, considering itself better than any other races and playing the game of backstabbing their neighbors, while Seldarine would be opened to the world and interested in mingling with other races.

But it doesn't mean you couldn't have an evil seldarine character. And there are examples of Lloth-sworns who end up being neutral, like Drizzt.
