Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kendra Lawrence" data-source="post: 7422987" data-attributes="member: 6953633">Wow, if that is true about the elves and drow, I’m sorry, but I call BS. That ignores lore that was even in the SCAG! Some elves get reincarnated eventually, sure, but they all go to Arvandor first (unless they worshiped non-elven deities, in which case they went to that god’s realm). But now they don’t go to Arvandor? Seriously? What about the souls that are already there? Why is previous established lore (that has been there throughout the editions) being so thoroughly changed?And the drow…are they so evil now they don’t even get an afterlife? In other words, they basically have no souls and are intelligent zombies? Might as well be. Getting a reward from Lolth in the afterlife was as much a motivation for the priestesses as reward in the current life. This "fading" includes followers of Vhaeraun, too, I take it? And it’s uncertain where the followers of Eilistraee go? This is all just a big wtf to me, and honestly, it makes me really upset. I’ve always loved the elves and the drow, and I’ve always been a fan of the elves going to Arvandor. This change almost makes me tempted to leave. The afterlife in the Realms has always been a fact, but if I were an Eilistraeen or a Vhaeraunite, and my soul was either going to fade or have an uncertain “future”, that would make me hesitate in my calling. And if I were an elf, I’m not sure I would want to get automatically reincarnated right away. Arvandor has long held sway in elven hearts, a destination they can look forward to, when their long life is at an end. Now that is being taken away? What is the point of the deities, then?</blockquote>
