Question about Drow Matrons

[Throbblefoot]

So we had a hard-core RPG-er on Smith Hold the other night. She gave some  interesting feedback, including raising an issue about the nature of Drow Matrons.

She claimed a Drow Matron could ever been a class other than cleric. Does anyone have a reference that would either support or refute this?

Thanks,

Well I am pretty sure that the highest position in Drow society is a priestest of Lolth.  Thus it makes sense that the Matrons of the various Drow houses would hold this position.  Priestest of Lolth obviously being clerics.

Well, I checked this site out:

Drow Social Relationships

It seems that you gotta become a cleric if you want to be a Matron. Fighter and Wizard classes seem to be reserved for males.

I have changed the Smith Hold Quest accordingly (I can easily change it back if I get other evidence).

If anyone has more insight into the Drow culture, please post.

Thanks,

actually if one reads the forgotten realms series throughly, one will find some pretty high ranking matrons and preistesses in arach-tinilith are better fighters than clerics. read forgotten realms or WArs Of The Spider Queen series for details.
