I am so glad to finally be able to fill in some details on one of the most requested parts of the Realms, Eilistraee! Are there any other parts of the Pantheon you'd like to see explained? Thank you for allowing me to continue to work on the Realms with your support. Please consider becoming a Protector of the Realms: patreon.com/EdGreenwood

From what I understand, Sehanine Moonbow acts as a guide for Elven spirits to guide them to Arvandor, a psychopomp of sorts, I'm curious if this aspect of her extends to worshipers of the Dark Seldarine as well or if another god(dess) might fill this role for drow etc. I have a hard time imagining most members of the Dark Seldarine being impartial judges to ensure the correct souls reach the right deities. Vandria Gilmadrith maybe?

My most recent Drow character is an Eilistraeean priestess - similar to a Sword Dancer or Bladesinger, but I made her as a Bard, with dancing & acrobatics as a spell focus and Magical Secrets granting her some clerical powers. Growing up with academic parents living in exile, her Sage background helped her excel not only as an acolyte & dancer, but also as a poet & orator.

Eilistraee is my favorite goddess in D&D! I’ve read about almost all of them and, to me, she stands out so much! I’d 100% be her follower in I lived in that world ✨ Now I’m thinking… it would be nice if we also had a similar deity regarding orcs (or at least half-orcs). An rebellious good orc deity that despises Grummish ways and want to integrate half-orcs into overall society, just like Eilistraee seek to do with the drow. They don’t need to be music and art themed like her, but maybe something like… honor themed? Like a… (good aligned) paladin? Taking advantage of their natural high strength but also focusing on charisma (necessary in order to people not…hate you 😬).

I know we have quite a bit but Selune is a favorite too for obvious reason. I keep remembering lore claiming that Selune answers all prayers but I can't remember where from. I always assume if true, it probably wasnt an overt or obvious "Your prayer has been received" canned message- but, you gotta imagine someone lonely out there is praying to her just to feel a little less alone, while others might just be obsessed with her and be a nuisance.

I loved the BG3 Eilistraee Easter egg! One of these days I'm going to make a homebrew class/subclass for her dark maidens. I have a few alt builds within 5e SRD, but none of them have really landed well enough to do justice to their lore abilities and ethos. Probably some combination of the bladesong feature, maybe some Twilight Cleric abilities, bardic abilities, and the OneD&D divine magic spell list. It will be quite easy to make that too powerful though, so I'd have to find friends who are as interested in the idea as I am and willing to co-write and balance that as DM and player. Lots of story material for a starting plot/setting of a portal opening between Svartalfheim and the Kobold Press interpretation of the shadow fey! Already have character ideas for half-elf refugee, Aasamir or Lythari ranger, or dark maiden of Eilistraee finding the portal and meeting a Road Warden patrol that includes any of several PC ideas from that realm. Maybe as a crossover session between two campaigns? Thanks for all the story material Mr. Greenwood! I can only hope that my retirement will be as filled with new adventures as yours is, and I hope I get to share a story that takes us through her realm one day.

elistraee is one of my favorite of the dnd pantheons ended up going with her and her brother getting over least most of their sibling rivalry and agreeing they both despise their mother much more then each other especially given she was behind much of their hostility for one another and is the most harmful force currently affecting the drow/Ssri-tel-quessir and teamed up to overthrow her though my main drow lineage primarily follow her brother but they also do honor her as one of the few deities that actually cares about their kind

I played a good Drow, and there were no good drow gods at the time. My character's goal was to become a goddess for good drow. Then the book came out and there was Eilistraee.

Hi, if it is possible to have a video of Tethrin Veraldé will be amazing

Both Tethrin Veralde, Eilistraee's younger half-brother, and Vandria Gilmadrith, Eilistraee's older sister, would be great topics, as they are almost never mentioned (as opposed to Vhaeraun).

I have never in my life played D&D but Baldur's Gate 3 got me interested in the lore and so I started to read and watch and read and listen and read and watch and now I love the D&D Universe, I love the lore surrounding the Drow, Lolth and Eilistraee especially. I hope one day to play the game but I'm not really very social tbh. It will be worth putting myself out there I guess :)

Question: what happens if someone is tadpoled with both illithd and slaad? Does one win out? Does the victim simply die, or do we fear the new creation that will come about?

Current campaign, the players have allied with a hammership whose captain is a drow cleric of Eilistraee. So details about the faith are certainly welcome.

Just stumbled on your channel tonight and Holy Goakamoly! This is what we call a must sub or explode! That being said! Can you do Pale Night? Or Evening Glory? Please! I beseech thee! These were my most memorable (And longest) quest and no one ever talk about them. I'm not even sure i understand much about them either. Not much information around.

I have three characters that worship Eilistraee. A Chultan born half Drow Waterdeep noble Bronze draconic sorcerer Arcan Archer 8/3 with the two weapon fighting style. He hopes to raise his status among the other Waterdeep nobles by marriage and building a merchant fleet. (my first Adventure league character I didn't know better.) A Water Genasi Devotion paladin Bronze draconic sorcerer 5/4 Waterdeep naval veteran with the defense fighting style (also Adventure League so I could not pick Divine Soul.) Raise at the Promenade of the Dark Maiden. He was away at sea when the Promenade fell. Then got time lost and has now ended up in present day Waterdeep. My final one is a Protector Aasimar Archer Divine Soul sorcerer 2/6 sailor who longs for a Lythari companion.

I know it might be a strange request, may I ask about the possibility of one of these for Vhaeraun? Ha have been curious on his lore as well and the current interactions between the twins.

Interesting to know that the drow have an alternative to Lolth (not only because Lolth is evil, but also because worshipping her has high stakes). As for illithiliches (that is indeed a mouthful), I think my urge would have been to call them "mind liches" (since illithids are also known as mind flayers) or maybe "illiches" (combining the two "li" sounds from "illithid" and "lich" into one) 🐙
