Eilistraee

Eilistraee is the chaotic good drow goddess of beauty, song, dance, freedom, moonlight, swordwork, and hunting, within the drow pantheon known as the Dark Seldarine. She is the patroness and protector of the few dark elves who long 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 is 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. When, during Eilistraee's youth, a host of evil deities assaulted her home of Arvandor, her mother's treachery almost made Eilistraee slay her own father. Even though she was cleared from any guilt, Eilistraee chose to share her mother's exile because she knew that the drow would need her light in the times to come. Since the descent of the drow, Eilistraee has tried to be a mother goddess to her people and bring them the hope of a new life. She fights to lead them back to the lands of light, helping them to flourish and prosper in harmony with other races, free from Lolth's tyranny and the conflicts that have dominated their lives.
