Devotee

You are a worshipper of the drow goddess Eilistraee and live your life according to her tenets. You travel the world, working to promote harmony and the arts wherever you go, particularly song and dance. You believe in befriending and showing kindness to strangers, but you will swiftly repay violence with violence so that as few people as possible are harmed. The Dark Maiden also tasks you with opposing the evil schemes of Lolth and contributing to the monumental project of redeeming the drow where possible, but whether you are an active crusader in her service or a peaceful itinerant you find joy and comfort in the knowledge that Eilistraee is watching over you, wishing for you to become your best self.

Suggested Characteristics

Devotees of Eilistraee often come from marginalized backgrounds or were outcasts in their societies of birth. This causes them to highly value the kinship and acceptance they find in her church, but this same experience can also make them slow to trust and be kind to others despite the Dark Maiden's teachings.
