Eilistraee. New Drow Goddess of Beauty, Song, and Moonlight

The Dark Maiden, The Upstart Goddess, Lady of the Dance, Lady Silverhair, The Dark Dancer, The Dancing Goddess

Eilistraee is the newest drow goddess, representing Beauty, dance, freedom, hunting, moonlight, song, swordwork. She is the most recent goddess, having just been preached of and worshiped some 120 years ago. She is argued fiercely within the drow community as to if she's even real, with the older generators who favor lolth over all else say that she is not real and just a dangerous rebel sentiment with the younger generations who weren't there when the Underdark was destroyed. Her followers are mostly the younger drow who ever since the revelation that lolth has been imprisoned, feel that they need to move on and adapt to the new life they have to live, that being living on the surface. While some drow split off from the drow pantheon to worship surface born gods and goddess, many stick with Eilistraee, for she is the herald of a new way of life for this generation of drow. She represents a future where drow welcome all races and where they break off the shackles of being known as slavers and vile tormentors. However this future has not fully developed yet, as not only must they shake of the social stigma of their past evil deeds that last about as long as recorded history goes, and the fact that this new faith has effectively split the remaining drow community in half, with some favoring Eilistraee, and others Lolth and the rest of the drow pantheon.
