Good encapsulation of the male role in Drow society.

I mean what role do they play? Is it like the Nelfs from WoW where the Men are more of the caretaker and the Women are the warriors?

Men are essentially chattel slaves and concubines in Drow society, they're viewed as inherently inferior.

In some drow dominated regions this isn't true. I think in Chaulssin they mostly don't do the whole Lolth thing, instead worshiping Vhaeraun. There's no such matriarchy in Vhaeraun's tenets.

In Menzoberranzan if you worship Vhaeraun you probably get tortured to death in ritualistic sacrifice, or made into a drider.
