The story is told in the narrator's point of view but contains several monologues as Drizzt questions himself. When Drizzt escaped Menzoberranzan, he whispers to himself "How many others are there like me, I wonder", this is just one example of monologue. Salvatore made it a point to develop the setting well. It takes place in Menzoberranzan, an underground cavern blocked from the outside world. As you might imagine, Menzoberranzan is an evil and dark place, being home to dark elves and all. It is based on the D&D campaign called Forgotten Realms by Ed Greenwood. In the story of the Forgotten Realms, earth and the Under-dark are closer than they are now but no humans would visit the Under-dark. As time went on they grew farther apart and the humans forgot about the realm of darkness. Menzoberranzan is a city on the only continent called Faerûn.
