Eilistraee

The Dark Maiden, Lady of the Dance, Lady Silverhair

Eilistraee is the drow goddess of song, dance, hunting, swordplay, moonlight, and freedom from the oppressive culture that pervades drow society. She is often depicted dancing in the moonlight of the surface world, clad in nothing but her flowing silvery hair.
The Lady of the Dance teaches that redemption can be achieved by those who seek it; one is never too far gone to work towards their own salvation. With her teachings, those exiled to the darkest depths may someday walk in the light again. Lady Silverhair also teaches that even in the face of discourtesy, one should be kind. However, violence should be answered only with swift and unyielding violence in return; before such vile behavior can be allowed to continue.
The priesthood of the Dark Dancer are held to high expectations as hunters, dancers, musicians, and warriors. For rituals, Eilistraean clergy wear little clothing, or sometimes none at all, in order to allow the light of the moon to bathe them fully. Elderly priests at the end of their life are said to hear Eilistraee call to them, at which point they travel deep into the woods and dance naked, the “Last Dance”, never to be seen again.
Most places of Eilistraean worship are built at the mouths of caves, deep in dense forests. The clergy prefer locales that need as little modification as possible; the ideal setting is at an entrance to the Underdark with plentiful iron deposits, surrounded by thick woods, with an open clearing providing a view of the moon, nearby flowing fresh water, and a place to build a weaponsmith.
