Betrayal is a virtual art form amongst Drow, held as an ideal of the highest factor, a fact which continues to lead to the eventual downfall of the race as a whole. It shouldn’t be surprising, taking this into account, that most Drow tend to be paranoid.

Yet, Drow who become too defensive lose their edge, becoming victims of their own fear.
