There is a complete description of the political situation. This module is equipped with a fully-mapped drow city, Erelhei-Cinlu. For those who want a drow-centered module in the Greyhawk setting, there is none better than Vault of the Drow. This trend continues even into the current P layer's Handbook, which mentions that Drizzt and other "good" drow are a rarity. Vault of the Drow (Module D3) is a 1st edition module, but any DM worth their salt should have a home-brewed 1e-to-5e conversion kit. It's not that some drow, or even a city or country of drow, are seen as evil - it's that Dungeons & Dragons lore has traditionally considered evil drow to be the default. The main issue is that the drow (like other "evil" races) are presented as a large monolithic society dedicated to evil instead of a group with multiple competing interests and beliefs. While Drizzt himself is proof that all drow aren't inherently evil, many fans still think that Dungeons & Dragons lore needs major updates when it comes to the drow. While the drow have been popular villains in many Dungeons & Dragons novels and adventures, many fans have pointed out the problematic nature of depicting the dark-skinned elven subrace as being innately evil. Aquatic Drow are enemies of all the races air breathing Drow despise, but reserve an incredible hatred for Aquatic Elves, Tritons, Locathahs, Sahuagin, and Merfolk, and they attack and enslave them at every opportunity.
The "dark elves" were originally depicted as being wholly evil due to the corrupting nature of Lolth, the goddess at the heart of drow culture. The reveal of the Lorendrow and Aevendrow seem to suggest that Dungeons & Dragons is officially moving past some long-held canon about the drow.
