The Dark Maiden

Eilistraee, the "Dark Maiden," is the goddess of the good drow-those rare dark elves who yearn for a return to life in the surface Realms, an existence akin to that enjoyed by the elves of the woodlands, left behind by the drow so long ago.

Eilistraee (pronounced "eel-ISS-tray-ee" wink is a goddess of song and beauty, worshipped through song and dance-preferrably in the surface world, under the stars of a moonlit night.

Eilistraee aids her faithful in hunting and swordcraft, and worship of her is usually accompanied by feasting. Eilistraee has worshippers from human, elven, and in particular half elven stock (particularly around Silverymoon), and looks kindly upon the Harpers. She is usually seen only from afar, but her song (of unearthly beauty, driving many to tears) is heard whenever she appears.

The Dark Maiden seldom takes a direct hand in the affairs of mortals, but will sometimes appear in the midst of a dance in her honor, leaping amid the flames of the feast unharmed. She also appears, radiance dimmed and clad in plain, cowled cloak, at the campfires of wayfarers in the woodlands by night, to test their kindness. Most worshippers see Eilistraee only from afar, perched on a hillock or battlement, silver hair streaming out behind her. She appears to show her favor or blessing, and will often rally or hearten creatures by causing a high, far-off hunting horn-call to be heard.
