Apparently in their current version, the skin of Drow who convert to good becomes lighter coloured while the "blackness of the drow's skin has become a permanent sign of their depravity". The Curse of the Lamanites angle seems to have been introduced by self-confessed Canadian author Lisa Smedman in The Lady Penitent.

Sacrifice them all, let Lolth sort them out.

Am I the only one who remembers when Lolth was Lloth?

It varies from campaign setting to campaign setting.

IIRC, she was Lolth first, the name Lloth was Salvatore's shtick. Personally, I think it was a typo that he ran with.

Yeah, she was Lolth first -- I bought Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits when it came out in 1981(?), and she was Lolth.
