So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, and if it isn't I'm terribly sorry. For one I haven't been to these forums in a long while, which leads me to my next point of not having played DnD for a while, about a year. We recently started up again, and I'm digging back into all the books with gusto, anywho I ran across The Grand History of the Realms book and I was reading through and came across the part about Eilistraee and Lolth battling to the death in a divine game of sava for the fate of the Drow. It also goes on to talk about how Selvetarm and Vhaeraun are slain, blah blah blah. Anyways the real question I had was... What was the outcome of the sava game? Did one of the combatants renege? Did Lolth try some underhanded trick (as I would expect her to do)? Any information on this would be much appreciated and again I'm terribly sorry if I posted this in the wrong part of the forums.
Mod Edit: Moved to a more appropriate shelf.
Mod Edit II: Added SPOILER tag. |

-Uh...Yeah...Right...
-A Drow deity that does not discriminate on the basis of gender, and thus, has the highest likelihood of attracting ALL Drow dissatisfied with Lolth, both male and female, makes more sense than two deities that are highly discriminatory on gender lines. |

Huh? Eilistraee absorbing Vhaeraun meant that she became more neutral than good. |

-Well, in the very least, it featured such a deity, giving me fodder to create a "heresy" that some Dark Elves believe in which Eilistraee and Vhaeraun are/were the same being, and are allies and not enemies, which I am going to include in whatever the name of that thing that I am doing is called. |

-All of that is beaten to death, though. |

I despise the events in that trilogy. I think it could have been better. Eilistraee and Vhaeraun live on and Lloth loses a good many followers or power. That is how it should have been played. |

Lolth Took Eilistrae's mother piece, but Correlon steppped in and told her "the game is not over, yet". |

Lisa, it appears has gone into hiding and unlikely to reply.
Anybodyelse are likely constained by NDA, as even Lisa might be.
The only chnce, it appears right now, is to ask Ed in that scroll. |

One of the consequences of this whole mess is that the drow who didn't get turned into srii-tel'quessir are considered irredeemably evil in 4th edition, making them about as interesting as a damp stone in my opinion. I like my drow as evil bastards, but not irredeemable evil bastards. That's just boring. |

Ah, yeah that would fit the evidence we've been presented so far. |

That would be best answered by [NDA].
Although, many scribes here believe that it may be Rhymanthiin, the Hidden City of Hope. |

Eilistraee is dead at the end, or aledgedly dead.
her followers were changed back into non-drow dark elves by Corellon Larethian.
which her death or whatever has pissed alot of people off |
