In a way... It's about drow, dark elves. They live in the Underdark (a maze of caves underground) in huge cities. Menzoberanzan (I think that's how it's spelled...) is the city the story takes place in. It's about Drizzt Do'Urden of the house D'aermon N'a'shezbaernon (rough spelling - again, I think that's right). The culture of the drow is evil. Pure evil.Murder is perfectly legal - as long as you don't get caught. In fact, the way they rise in the ranks (the top eight houses are on the ruling council) is to "eliminate" a house above them. In doing this, they have to kill every member of the house, down to the youngest child. If any survive, they can accuse the house that attacked, and the offenders are killed horribly. Priestesses of Llolth, the Spider Queen, are the most powerful. Males are second-rate. They become either wizards or warriors. The story is basically about Drizzt growing up in this society. It's amazing.

I have no idea what I'm being - and there's two days 'til Halloween. Sheesh. I need to decide soon, but I really don't know.

You can google it and probably find it. But it has black and white checkered tights and a black dress....

Yeahh I suppose. I wore a robe over a sweatshirt and sweatpants, I wasn't really anything special/unique. So whatever. I was just a person I'm not going next year - I'm way too old.
