Shadow Dancer are a special group of people that are trained in a way of Sword Dancer by the church of Eilistraee, so they naturally ally them self with the church of Eilistraee. Except some who choose to betray the church of Eilistraee.
The Shadow Dancers shared the same allegiances and enemies of the church of Eilistraee. They were the product of the priestesses' effort to establish good relationships with surface dwellers and to live in peace with them.
The Shadow Dancers were in direct opposition with the church of Lolth as the Sword Dancers are, due to joyless and cruel life that their tyranny forced upon the drow. Followers of Vhaeraun, Ghaunadaur and Kiaransalee also counted among the Sword Dancers' enemies.
The Sword Dancers were skilled sword wielders, known to use their art while fencing. They fought employing an agile and acrobatic style, that allowed them to quickly and gracefully move on the battlefield, with movements that resembled a dance.
