We decided to take the "Reading is Fundamental" feat and dive into R.A. Salvatore's "Homeland," the first book in the Legend of Drizzt series (some would argue it's the 4th and they are wrong *cough* Sarah *cough*).
When we do eventually get around to talking about the book, we cover the first two chapters of the novel and stand there, I mean dumbfounded, mouth agape at just how evil those Drow really are. Content warning for things like slavery, faceless wizards, baby sacrifices, big spiders, fratricide, dismemberment, and deadly espionage. I mean, they looked at the evil menu and said, "Yeah, one of everything and a Coke Zero."
Apart from the scandal, we also ponder the depiction of the Drow in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, specifically working through questions around misogynist interpretations of the famously matriarchal species. Sarah takes an interesting viewpoint of comparing them to a modern interpretation of the Gorgons of Greek myth, while Buzz wonders if it's possible to reclaim the identity altogether?
Will bravely soldiers on in this episode despite tornadoes literally touching down around him. Remember: you should head to a basement or interior room whenever you hear a tornado siren!
