Unlike others of his race, Drizzt is honorable and kind, a mindset which clashes violently with that of his vicious kin. The drow place very little value on life - children are set up as pawns in dangerous training exercises, the Academies of the city teach outright racism and genocide, and anyone who is not drow (and occasionally, not drow enough) is quietly executed before they can become a liability. As long as it's done on-the-sly, and nobody remains to accuse you. In Menzoberranzan, and in drow society as a whole, ascension to a higher rank is gained not by merit, but by strength - if you can live long enough to kill those that outrank you, you gain rank and prestige. He being the third born male child (and thus due for ritual sacrifice immediately after birth), his mother, Matron Malice Do'Urden, spares him after his eldest brother is killed by second brother Dinin to gain in rank. Salvatore that describes the life of Drizzt Do'Urden, a young dark elf who starts his life in the drow city of Menzoberranzan. The Dark Elf Trilogy is a prequel series of books by R.A.
