An antagonist is the leader of a drow settlement. It is stated in narration that he captures and keeps a harem of women of various races, and there are also children of his in the settlement that are half-drow. The same antagonist states to his son that there are "other ways to exact revenge", discouraging him from killing the female protagonist. He also states that he wants her for his pleasure and is not opposed to "sharing her". The son of the aforementioned antagonist implies what he will do to the protagonist once he finally confronts her one-on-one, and starts to make an attempt, but is quickly overcome and nothing occurs from it. The scene does not even begin to get graphic. Due to the nature of drow, especially in earlier D&D lore, there are several uncomfortable comments throughout the book referring to forced advances and to one gender or the other as breeding stock.
