Sword Dancers

The Sword Dancers are an all-female group of elite elven warriors in the service of Eilistraee, the Dark Dancer. It is their creed to locate and assist any and all drow seeking freedom from Lolth's influence. To aid in this matter, they do all in their power to bolster aid and cooperation between drow and other humanoids in hopes of bringing harmony between their own people and others. Typically, this is done through charity work by providing food, medicine, and other assistance to those in need. They can also provide entertainment as all Sword Dancers are skilled in dance and music in emulation of their goddess.
These peaceful notions often cover the fact that the Sword Dancers are extremely skilled warriors. Incorporating their dancing abilities into their fighting style, they are skilled swordswomen known for their agile acrobatic fighting style. They are most commonly outfitted with a Dancing Sword which they can further empower with arcane magic, though they focus on swordplay first and magic second (as opposed to their male counterparts in the Arcane Knights, who do the opposite). Some of their members focus more on their musical skills and employ the bardic arts while others practice divine magic granted to them by Eilistraee. Regardless of her skill set, any Sword Dancer is a fearsome opponent that most sensible creatures would prefer not to trifle with.
