[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1976021, member: 2020"] This is a direct cut and paste of an e-mail I sent to Serpenteye. Serpenteye requested I place this on the board, so I have done so, without editting the text: Since I now control Eilistraee, I am having her IMMEDIATELY take action. The drow are being moved to the Court of Stars (which everyone has renamed the Hospice of Stars.) Eilistraee is putting forth her FULL power to aid the drow there. EVERYTHING is going into that. Nothing into anything else. This is the chance to break her people away from Araunshees' legacy and Vhaerauns' corruption forever, and she is moving to do so. For 20,000 years she has awaited this chance, and she is not wasting it. Drow who are not making it through Withdrawal she puts in stasis, if necessary. She lengthens the Withdrawal process for others, if they need more time, and if it would help them. Think of a doctor working 24 hours a day during some sort of natural disaster that has left tens of thousands of injured and wounded people, but in this case with divine endurance - endurance that never lessens and a person who never tires. That is Eilistraee. Eilistraees' answer is unique to Eilistraee, as per the Canon. She mixes love, mercy, caring, and kindness with strictness, discipline, obedience, and gentle demands. She is very much like a mother (not a matron mother, but a mother) is this regard. Think of the clergy of Eilistraee. They are a peaceful group by the tenets of Eilistraee, until provoked - and then they are like a group of angry hornets, until the threat is eliminated. Meet peace with peace. Meet violence with total, overwhelming, violence. Eilistraee does NOT go to the TEC Summit. That inane babble of diplomats is absolutely irrelevant to her. Her PEOPLE are what is relevant, and NOTHING else counts. (If obsession = flashlight, Eilistraees' obsession in this matter = the sun.) (Please remember Eilistraee is chaotic good, and quite strongly good. The daughter of Corellon, she has been a staunch champion of good since the beginning. What does 'good' mean? I define it as CHERISHING THE VALUE OF LIFE. If it's quality of life, length of life, beauty in life, freedom from pain in life, the lives of others, the lives of children, expression of life, self actualization in life, anything to do with life, then it's special and it should be cherished and it should be supported. Taking life away is painful, it is undesirable, it is sad, and it is not something done lightly. This is called ethics. In the case of 'good' it goes beyond ethics and becomes a mystical thing. If Luke Skywalker had killed Darth Vader, the taking of that life would have doomed Luke Skywalker. His refusal to do so saved him from becoming the next Sith. That's what I mean by the mystical, beyond the merely ethical. And you can bet Eilistraee - gently but firmly - makes this point to her people.) [/QUOTE]
