Corellon’s Favor

Corellon’s favour is bestowed with his characteristic whimsy, but usually on those who possess great magical gifts, and who display a similar temperament to their progenitor.

3 You once sought out Corellon in Arvandor, and joined with his essence for one glorious night.

6 You are one of the rare Drow to escape the clutches of Lolth and make it to the surface.
