Eilistraee

Eilistraee - The Dark Maiden

Eilistraee is the Drow goddess of song, dance, swordwork, hunting, moonlight, goodness, and beauty, within the drow pantheon known as the Dark Seldarine. She is the patroness and protector of the few dark elves who longed to return to the surface and live there, at peace with other races, and to abandon the endless conflicts and intrigues that dominated the lives of most Drow. She was often referred to as the The Dark Maiden, the Lady of the Dance, or Lady Silverhair, and sometimes The Dark Dancer, among other titles.

She is the daughter of Araushnee (later Lolth) and Corellon Larethian, a free-spirited and kind-hearted goddess, with a fiery streak in her personality. Worshipers of Eilistraee mostly consist of those Drow who hope to escape the danger and darkness of the Underdark and Lolth's evil, take back their place in the surface world and live in peace with all other races. However, in line with her ideals, Eilistraee welcomes and accept beings of all races who share the desire of seeing all races living in harmony, without pointless discrimination or wars, and works towards that goal.
