D&D 4E 4E Elistraee

[BrickBronze_E-Genasi]

Just curious wether or not there is a 4th edition version os Elistraee

 

[lutecius]

um, I don't know how to say this to you... something horrible happened...

 

[Peraion Graufalke]

Eilistraee is dead in 4e. IIRC she died in a novel.

Well... they changed the pantheons so that they no longer hold purview over racial specific things. So Lolth got some other things besides 'dark elves' and is a goddess for multiple cultures. Shadows, lies, scheming, these are all parts of almost every culture, so Lolth's got her fingers nicely in those pies.

Elistraee's purview was... what... good aligned drow? The 'good aligned' part is already better covered by other gods. Not to mention, Lolth's traditional enemy, Corellon, isn't even good aligned. It just doesn't make sense to keep a goddess whose worshippers are 'Drizzt' and 'Clones of Drizzt' and 'The other 2 drow PCs out there.'

Orcus killed her and took her stuff.

Took it back, that is.

Given the 4e revision of gods in the Realms is a LOT more extreme than anything that happened in the Avatar trilogy (let alone specific novels, which I generally ignore), Elistraee probably isn't around anymore. Sehanine probably inherited the "unclothed elf dancing" portfolio, which was all most of Elis's old worshipers were interested in anyway.

Orcus was having quarrel with Kiaranshalee, not with Elistraee.

And while Kiaranshalee is also dead in 4e, Orcus had nothing to do with it.

Now I'm confused

Who is, err, was this Elistraee person, anyway?

Eilistraee

And for info on the rest of the Drow Pantheon...

It looks like the drow pantheon was cleaned up (or out, as that may be) in the Lady Penitent series by Lisa Smedman.

Truthfully, I see little reason to have all these drow gods. One (Lolth) works just fine. I think it's less interesting if there's a good drow goddess just waiting for good worshippers. Let your drow characters be on the run, knowing a god is against you and there's no natural drow god to have your back.

Whoops, you're right! My bad!
