I think it was Ed who said that it wasn't impossible with planar
travlers to visit Cerilia, and as proof of that you have one of the
Hydras heads which has Psionic powers.

But if you don't like this, you can always make an option that elves of
some strange reason has some basic awnsheghlien forms, one which
resembles of Manslayer, one which resembles the "green elf" and one last
which resebles of the traditional drow.

As I have thought of it all time (since I bought BR), is that this is
the world where some powerful elves fought against each other about the
power of the realm. Some of thise became quite powerhungry as Corellan
and Lloth. Lloths followers came mainly from the southeast deserts, and
was natrually dark colored, while the forest living elves, of who a few
followed Corellan, where pale colored. Whit time they did take their war
away from Cerilia, and outside the homeworld they learned about the
minor races use of gods, which they teached to their followers and in
that way become more powerful them selfs.

But anyhow, it's all upto you to if you want to have drows in your BR
campagin. I think it's an adventure from TSR which mentions/hs drow, you
could explan their existance by magic, they are really normal elves, but
they have a magical item which gives them the same powers as if they
would be drows.

Oki doki, there was some suggestions... pick one of them or just make
your own explanation.
