The more I think about it, the less sense it makes.

I thought that in Realms lore, elves made terrible slaves because of how much they valued freedom. I also thought that surface elves had bad reactions to spending much time in the Underdark, or even just in deep caves, because their ties to the upper, natural world were so strong. And on top of that, drow society is a nasty, evil, vile thing which a goody-two-shoes like Halsin should be revolted by. Am I totally wrong about the lore? Was Halsin very different when he was young? It's so bizarre. And to say it's a cherished memory now is a new level of bizarre.

On the upside, I'm developing some interesting headcanon about how my drow and Halsin might have met once in the Underdark, long ago.... think
