I just started a drow (Nhilafae) and was sad to not get an insignia. I asked around about it, and a couple people said that female drow priestesses should be housed.

I wasn't sure if I should send in an application to get put into a house, or assume that it was a bug that I didn't get placed in a house. Without much direction, here is the information that I have, and some logs:


Your hometown is now Menzoberranzan.
Please read help Menzoberranzan for information about the hometown.
Your destiny awaits, Nhilafae, commoner of Menzoberranzan.
You have been given a tabard of Menzoberranzan.

This is not a bug per-say, you can be a priestess and a commoner. I would be curious on sources to claim all priestesses are nobles. If they are good, we could revise this.

I was skeptic myself about this but it seems that it is possible. In "The Drow of the Underdark" for 3.5 edition at page 17 there is written:

And although the priesthood rarely accepts drow of low station it does so with more frequency than the houses do.

This would seem to reinforce the status quo then.
