The drow remort was once described as having black, feathery wings, long silver/white hair, extremely dark skin (at this point, almost black), and being very attractive. Their only difference from the Seraph's were the inverse of colors, as per their looks.
Now, look at Nephil. Most of us know it's meaning, if not, Fallen Angel. The opposite of Seraph.
Nephil, or Nephilim would be fine by me. Nephil is more fitting though.
-
Yeah I thought of maybe making up a new race too but I am out of ideas atm… But yeah Myth that's exactly the desc I was thinking. And so far Nephil seems to fit the bill perfectly

Hi ladies and gentlemen,
There's some great suggestions here. I'm going to stay out of the discussion myself just so that I don't influence people one way or another just based on what I think. But I just wanted to throw in a brief comment over what Ri and Myth said (great thoughts from both you guys on this topic). We should try to pick something that goes in with the drow race.
Remember the drow can be considered complementary to the elf. This doesn't mean that every ability of the drow is the exact opposite of every ability of the elf, or anything like that, but every evil/good race has a bit of a complement race which has a similar background theme: drow/elf, slayer/vampire, sith/dragon, mino/titan. The theme of the drow/elf pair is that they're very elegant, intelligent and dextrous with a strong ability to manipulate magic.
The drow are darker in both appearance and intent than the elves: they are more eeevil. But they are still very graceful and physically beautiful. So a name that reflects that would be cool, if you were to call it a hobgoblin or something that wouldn't go with the race really :)
And yeah they do have black feathery wings. They arn't quite as big as the seraph's wings because the drow are a little bit smaller (not way smaller but a little less in height). Think raven feathers, seraphs I've always pictured with white or perhaps golden colored wings, like the phoenix.
Hope it helps. Once we have a few more suggestions we'll put up a poll with the choices so people can vote on their favourite.
:)
Cheers

Thanks for the props, Syn.
I still say Nephil!

Being a Seraph, I am not all that fond of the name, myself. Personally, I would like to have a more original name for it, but little has come to mind as to what to call it. Same should go with a Drow. The names suggested, while good, are not all that great to label a remorted race. They imply something that they really aren't.
Here are possible suggestions for both Elf and Drow remorts. While not great, it is a start. Modity as needed.
Elf:
Ellavim
Ilvanir
Vanir
Hyliphi
Drow:
Du'ar
Darlor
D'kyva
Vardal

While those are more true to the name, Nephil still sounds cooler :P
-
I'd still rather have a name created than to use the ones first suggested.
-
Maybe we should get a little more input from some other drow/specter out there. Spunky and Chaosangel are two I would like to hear input from.
-
And I would like to hear from the other Elves/Seraphs out there on this as well.
Don't make me start poking with a stick, people.
-
While I am not an elf.,,,, I play one on an alt.
I like seraph personally, though there were a coupl on that list that sounded kewl, Ilvaner or what ever, I didnt cut and paste, but like I said, I think Seraph is just fine also.
-
Neph works for me….though Du'ar does roll of the tongue rather nicely
hell im just greatful we got rid of being called windowTreatments (shades)
hey anything to get me wings *Grin*
*adds her two gold pieces*
-
Du'ar sounds the best to me so far, out of all the suggestions. I don't like Nephil at all. It sounds way too angelic for my tastes. And yes I know it's a fallen angel, still don't like it. We're evil and scary! Chaos and I are good examples of that. :D
-
"hell im just greatful we got rid of being called windowTreatments (shades) "
But darling you are so beautiful sitting in the window. :)
-
I'd like to see Du'ar and Ilvanir be used for Drow and Elf remorts, myself.
-
I think they are fine the way they are.

Seraph is very fitting for the elf remort. It has the beautiful, angelic name to it, much like how an elf looks anyway. The white/gold, feathery wings are just a more angelic touch making Seraph a great name for elf remorts.
Shade is more like an undead, incorporeal creature. Drows are not this. This name definately needs changed to fit the race better. Like with Nephil, it's pretty much the same as a Seraph with the exception of having black, feathery wings and being more demonic in intent. Since Drow and Elf are the anti- of eachother, shouldn't the remort be the same?
-
I still want a more original name than the one already placed. I tend to view seraphs as humans with wings, not elves, so that really doesn't fit.
