Yeah, freedom is what E and V have in common among their ideals. There's also the drow forging their way in the world, that could be another strong point of the ML, unless you prefer drow to stay only underground.

Not entirely true. People can worship multiple gods, as long as one is among those, he/she/it gets ''food''. There's no need to ''reign supreme'', for example I really doubt that Eilistraee would want that (there's a bit in EC's Evermeet where after the appearence of the Dark Dancer to Sharlario and his son, they offer to convert from Sehanine's service into hers, but she simply tells them that there's no need to).

Eh, not my cup of tea tbh. It would just ruin her charater IMO, unless you like fallen heroes. I do sometimes, but with Eilistraee it wouldn't work for me. One of the reasons I like her is her dreamer/idealist side that shines and stands out in the ''darkness'' that afflicts her people. I would still like her if she started to see the need to change her approach a bit and decided to lean more towards a ''the goal justifies the means'' kind of MO (like one of those scenes when a character goes through something that opens her eyes, and she is like ''reborn'' anew, tempered, changing part of herself, as it happened with the ML), but I don't see her becoming like her mother.

Plus Eilistraee, Vhaeraun, and Zinzerena all have many reasons to hate Lolth, as do the rest of the drow.

I'm pretty sure that an alliance would work too, as their followers base would merge as it happened with the ML. Anyway I'm of the opinion that both gods somehow survive in the merging, keeping traits of both.
Well, it's a matter of PoV, I guess.

Why not? If she is a merge between E&V, then she would keep what they have in common: fighting so that the drow can be free to choose their path and forge their own place in the surface world, and in order to stop the inner conflicts that waste so many dark elven lives for nothing. So she can lead any drow who wants that -really- encouraging people who try to achieve that through redemption, but not dismissing the ones who want to use more subtle methods either. Tbh the goal of revenge and being the supreme drow deity that you propose sounds very similar to Lolth (even tho your ML still doesn't care about female supremacy and gives every worshipper the same ''weight'').

Ofc just my 2 cents, it's your campaign and I'm not here to criticize your choices.

Agreed. E&V or the ML should be back- However there are no actual news on drow yet, so I would wait before deciding.

Ed said that it's highly likely that we havent's seen the last of Eilistraee, and Vhaeraun apparently gets a chosen (even if not explicilty mentioned), after all. Maybe...

Also since Lolth was silent, the Masked Lady decided to answer the prayers of Zinzerena's faithful. The assassins of Zinzerena decided the Masked Lady was a much better fit than Lolth (they knew Zinzerena was killed but now they view the Masked Lady as Zinzerena reborn).

Thats three worshipper bases contributing to the power of the Masked Lady who now has power of male drow, outcast drow, surface drow, assassins, and a few others.

She's definitely in the intermediate power range and since she has no qualms about having drow of any gender or alignment worship her (unlike Vhaeraun or Eilistraee, she is getting the worship of large numbers of drow unhappy with lolth's rule.

The common drow on the street, the unhappy minor daughter of a drow house, the soldier, the slaves, the wizards. If they hate lolth, they turn to the Masked Lady, and lets face it, Lolth has done much to be hated.


At least thats the way im going with the masked lady.

PHB deities list is far from being complete. For comparison, all the racial pantheons are missing. We can just hope and wait for the 5e FRCG (when it will come) or -maybe- some novel/adventure. However it looks like almost every god is back (heck even Ibrandul gets mentions), to single out two unique and defining deities like E&V would really be a waste and a ''screw you'' to their fans (especially considering that a project about their return and lore written for it has already been thrown away once, two years ago).

Well Eilistraee's dead in my campaign. The Masked Lady is alive and she is a kickass intermediate goddess able to actually resist Lolth rather than hide in the shadows like E+V did.

I'm going to move towards a holy war between Lolth and the Masked Lady as they fight for worshippers. Lolth wants female supremacy and the status quo whereas the Masked Lady doesn't care as long as they are drow, they can be good, evil, male, female, drider, half drow, anything drow.

Of course im still pre spellplague

rapunzel77 Posted - 28 Aug 2014 : 21:57:05
I love Drizzt but there are other possibly good drow out there and it would be nice to have some stories with them. It would be an interesting change if Drizzt did start caring for the rest of his people by adopting some of Eilistraee's tenets but that is probably VERY unlikely.

Ikr, it's part of what they fight for. But -as i said- to me it's almost like WotC doesn't care to acknowledge Eilistraee's existence, or wants to replace her with Drizzt, -something that he really can't do as a character, having a deeply different concept in the niche of ''good'' drow-.

The Codex of Salvatore is a set of tomes much loved by the teenage drow of Menzoberranzan.

I'm intrigued as to how, in game, a drow of the Underdark would know anything of Drizzt and how he could prove to be an "inspiration" to anyone living there. Maybe they have the 'monsternet' in Faerun and they just Boogle him.

Two things stood out for me after hearing both panels.

1. The term unreliable narrator was used far too much. From a gaming point of view i can see where it makes sense, the bad guy was thought to have been killed but was he? etc. Good for plot hooks for home games. I don't play and only read the novels so I hope that its not a case of every major bad guy might not be dead. It makes me think whats the point of the story if they just use the unreliable narrator excuse to bring them back at some future date. Ed even implied that telamont might not be gone forever.
Sometimes dead should mean dead!

2. Bob talked about getting the old realms feeling back (yay!) and how he wants the good guys to win. Its always been a bugbear of mine that wotc and tsr never found a balance between good guys and bad guys winning. Everything up to 4e was the typical fantasy good beats bad. 4e was darker and bad guys did better but were ultimately defeated.

Surely a more realistic (ha!) take on the 5e realms would be more welcome. I sometimes want the bad guys to win, I just wish they were given a fair chance to do so.

I'm sorry but the Realms are massive and since TV and the Internet don't exist, not everyone is going to be aware of his celebrity status. I have this sinking feeling they are going to run it into the ground, hell even the new PHB uses a picture of Drizzt to represent elves in general.



Yeah, as I stated before, I didn't like what they said about Drizzt as a model for most ''exception to the rule'' drow too. It just doesn't make much sense, especially with the presence of Eilistraee and with how Drizzt really doesn't care to do what her followers do. It also is my impression -and fear- that they are going to keep ignoring the Dark Maiden and any other kind of independent drow, because they would make Drizzt look less of a ''special snowflake'' in their readers' eyes, which would just be stupid and a total waste.

Anyway, my point is that Eilistraee's followers, or ''unlinked'' goodly dark elves, are indeed a valid part of the FR and should be included in the new iteration of the setting, but as a niche. The fact that some people at WotC thought it was a good idea to focus on them in the past doesn't diminish their value, and doesn't mean that it is right to remove them just to shift the focus.

The reputation of the evil drow have been around for a very very long time and I believe that would still rule over the few exceptions to the rule drow.



Of course the ''good'' drow should be a narrow minority (and their reputation overshadowed by the actions of the rest of their kin), and -even if the focus on them in the past may have led some people to think the contrary- they have always been. You named Vhaeraun, Ghaunadaur and ''godless'' drow, but really, why exclude Eilistraee from the picture? I've already talked a lot about this in other topics so I won't repeat myself, but she is not an excuse for Drizzt clones character (people who play them don't need an excuse, btw), far from it. Her theme and goal are drastically different from that and her concept unique, flavorful and neatly defined. Furthermore she is part of Ed's original vision of the world (she was in his campaign even before TSR's request) and is iconic to the FR drow. She totally deserves to be in the 5e era, together with Vhaeraun.

Yes, that is just stupid. Even having like only 20 good drow out there would be stupid, especially after millennia of ideas spreading, people choosing different ways and so on. Sure different drow should be the narrow minority, they should be relatively unknown, treated with suspicion, opposed/hunted/feared/whatever anyway because of the reputation of their race, but you can't seriously say that after all the stuff that has happened, only Drizzt and a handful of dark elves have made different choices.

I'll paste what I wrote in another thread

On a side note, the stories I wish for are not necessarily Drizzt-like, more something along the lines of conventionally evil races being given some depth, ability to grow, change and evolve in lore featuring them, even as villains (which is not possible if you say 'they are innately X because god/magic/sheaningans period').

Personally, more Drizzt's is not really the example of what I'd like to see. Sure, he can be an interesting character, but as I've already said, adding 1 super-dude over 10000000 doesn't add much variety to a setting, even more so if this super-dude decides to go 'screw my people' mode. Variations like Many Arrows, Eilistraeens/Vhaerunites bring concrete depth and are way more 'realistic' -so to speak- than having just 1 over so many: ideas are born someway, they spread, some people see that they lead to a better life, they embrace and support it, while others (a lot more others, considering the situation of races like orcs and drow) don't. The ones who do could band together, work/fight to achieve and build something for them or/and their race (which is the battle that E&V fight and makes them different from the drow who choose to simply stay away from their people).
rapunzel77 Posted - 27 Aug 2014 : 16:58:18
If one wanted to have a combat heavy campaign that involved killing monsters then I suppose it would be fine to have the Drow be evil all the time. However, it has been established in some of the books that they do have a conscience and free will. Granted, many choose to do evil because they are fanatically devoted (mostly out of fear and lust for power/higher station) to Lolth. It is more complex and nuanced to have a variety of characters, some who do exhibit compassion/love/honesty, etc in addition to the many who are going to play the pragmatic game. Even in the most evil of societies, there are good people. Why not extend that to fantasy? To the Drow? They are still elves although their society puts them in the "monster" category. At least from the novel/lore part of the campaign, it makes more sense for there to be variety, including good characters (in addition to Drizzt). He can't be the ONLY one out there. That just wouldn't make much sense.
CorellonsDevout Posted - 27 Aug 2014 : 16:49:59
I vote foe a balance. We have the evil Lolthites, but we also have the Eilistraeens, Vhaeraunites (I know V is evil, but I have always had a fondness for him), and other "rebels". I like drow, as evil and as good.

Having variety among drow obviously doesn't imply that. Having Eilistraee back wouldn't lead to that unless WotC wanted to overplay her and her followers.

On the other hand, a race who is fully one-note and ''hurr durr we r ebil and we kill each other cuz powah'' is equally stupid as having all drow being rebellious.

I pray to God that drow don't become more common on the surface. I want to go back to drow being feared and everyone not knowing a good drow named Drizzt exists.
Irennan Posted - 26 Aug 2014 : 21:06:55
I truly hope so.

Forging the Realms articles are very good (and include lore about both past and present), but I was talking about advancement of plots left hanging in the previous eras, books and so on. They said that they are not opposed to it in principle, but there's a long way from that to being committed to releasing support for previous eras.

If they can handle 1 project at time with their resources, I guess that they'll dedicate those to detail the 5e FR, with some reference/hint to the past here and there.

My thought is that the ''all editions'' support will likely come in the form of modules that can be used with any period of the FR with little modification (like the ones they're releasing in the future).



I don't see how we can conclude that one team is incapable of generating lore for older eras as well as lore for new eras... Rich Baker turned out a lot of Realmslore, including Lost Empires of Faerūn. And look how much Ed has given us, about the past and present of the Realms.

But we know a campaign book is forthcoming. One cannot seriously expect a module to support multiple eras.
