[QUOTE="Evil Ujio, post: 2281621, member: 27389"] In this campaign world, death is permanent and resurrection and raise dead are ineffective. Although there are tales of great heroes who defied death and could return to life via these spells, but such tails are legend and perhaps wishful thinking. Even though this is a campaign about the drow, the drow have not been in over a thousand years even the elves believe that they are perhaps simply legend now and that they are all but destroyed. For such beings of evil to truly exist some sign would have been seen by now as many sages would protest… [b]Quick Deity Rundown[/b] [b]Elhonna[/b] is an elven deity apart of the [b]Callistan[/b], the pantheon of elven deities that once ruled in the city of Callista before it was destroyed a millennia ago.
