Eilistraee, The Sword Dancer
To members of Bregan D’aerthe and other disaffected Drow, Eilistraee represents a force of resistance against the oppressive order and the status quo. Her victory over Vhaeraun, The Lord of Shadow is seen as a symbol of her strength, resilience, and the ability to challenge the existing power structures that have oppressed the Drow for so long. She is viewed as a deity who champions freedom, individuality, and the potential for redemption and change.
Eilistraee's association with music, dance, and the arts holds appeal to those disaffected Drow who long for an alternative expression of their culture and identity. Her teachings of compassion, unity, and the pursuit of joy resonate with those who seek to break free from the cycle of violence and cruelty that has characterized Drow society.
However, many Drow believe Eilistraee's straightforward approach in battle and her desire to see the Drow rejoin the surface elves as a united society to be signs of weakness. These are commonly held precepts by the The Church of Lloth and those who were indoctrinated into that faith.
