reveals (quite proudly) that she is a dark elf from the [[1]] city of [[2]]. She says very little about her reasons for leaving that sunless realm, though separations of such nature are never gentle. She does claim to no longer worship the spider goddess Lolth: a change that even you know is often fatal. Her new faith is in the night goddess Shar, an appropriate choice for a drow, though this is not a firm indication that she has given up the brutal ways of her people. She finds the laws of the surface world quaint and more than a little strange, but this is simply because of her lack of experience. Likewise she seems a bit naive about how her race is viewed by surface dwellers. Many will not give her the chance she seems to expect, and even being seen with her may affect how people think of you. You know that as a drow, she has resistance to magic, both beneficial and harmful. |

Viconia: Sarevok, may I share a whispered word with you? Sarevok Anchev: Yes, drow? What is it you want? Viconia: I miss the customs of my homeland, like the breaking in of new pleasure slaves. The largest and strongest were the hardest to break, but they were the most rewarding. Sarevok, I find your great size... intriguing. Sarevok Anchev: Were you to break me, Viconia, you might find nothing but the chill emptiness of the grave within. Viconia: That does not repulse me as you might imagine. We drow are ever eager to broaden our... experiences. Sarevok Anchev: I orchestrated a war to slaughter thousands. I have felt the cold embrace of death. I have witnessed the horrors of the abyss. But you, Viconia... you scare me. Viconia: Cowards everywhere I turn! If you find your courage, Sarevok, seek me out.
