If the Drow do surface raids why dont the Surfacers all at one time just rush in and whip Ultrinnians ass for good and we dont have to worry about this shit anymore?

No, my wood elf character hasn't been elected to lead that House as these things are still up in the air in Winya, I don't know even what the outcomes were at the meeting as they held it whilst I was asleep. I'm all willing to help develop it and aid it growing into something useful just like any other player. I really don't know the details of the meeting in Winya and until I do, I'm not committing to lead a House that doesn't even exist or may or may not have been formed at the previous Council meeting...and that elections for these leaders haven't -even- taking place. On top of that, there is a rule that states, you cannot lead two factions at once. Meaning, I can only be an active member in the sylvan tribe, not lead it.

Way too contribute to nothing, there.
No, it's actually quite a valid question that gets asked quite a bit in response to the Drow doing raids.
And the answer is: Why don't you?

Because one Ultrinnan guard wipes out half the invaders by itself.
When you talk about Drow raids are you talking about them raiding cities or little settlements and surrounding areas? The Drow shouldn’t be able to go into a major city on a raid with all the guards and such these cities have, on the same token the surface shouldn’t be able to raid Ultrinnan either for the same reason.
Come on people, think of the RP not on how to OOCly win against each other. On battles between groups like this there doesn’t have to be a true winner just the fun in the RP of it all. You shouldn’t try to totally destroy and wipe out a group of players but rather have the ongoing conflicts where fights are won but battles continue.
The captive that I will be creating will be a filler, following Godo's concept on the last page of having a mix of both. We want real captives as well but on a large scale ceremony like this it's very difficult to take 8-10 people's characters away from them while they're imprisoned. Is this OOC based? Yep, but it's a respect for the players who don't want to play captive.
When we capture people the good ol' fashion way (Which does happen! Finding folks, ambushing folks), one of the top requests, probably 98% of the time is 'I don't want my character sacrificed'. So those two players out of a hundred that we capture we get to sacrifice, and in all the sacrifices I've attended we didn't push for permadeath unless the player mentioned it first and agreed to accept it. Usually this permadeath doesn't stick for longer than a day but that's besides the point.
When such a high amount of players do not want their characters to be sacrificed we come up with alternatives so that we get our happy event and the surfacers get to keep their happy hearts. I know from playing sacrifices in the past that there can be a lot of fun involved from the unexpected. I had just made one, had her wandering about stabbing weak stuff (Because level 4 sacrifices are all the rage) and another drow, one who didn't even know the character was made to be a sacrifice came up and captured her! And even 'planned' capture roleplay isn't 'Oh nu let me stand here for you and wait for you to tie me up'
Then, if you actually work to develop your sacrifice's life some the sacrifice itself has quite a bit of depth. Mine always have histories, families, friends, and faith. Some fight back, some beg to be released, some pray to their gods and get kicked in the face. There's a lot more to it than having manikins sitting in a cell looking at each other.
