These drow are very fearful of foreigners coming to Xen'drik. They are very active in attacking adventurers from Khorvaire. They also will attack any weak settlements that they can find." - Reference Eberron Wiki

 

My main goal for this build was to get as much survivability as possible and use the Feydark Illusionist tree to skip farming for a weapon too often. The Shadowblade short swords scale as you level up and they are your BFF all the way to level 32.
