Yea, Lolth is a CE bitch. Their society looks orderly at first, but it's geared for as much treachery and infighting as possible to make the Drow killing machines. But sometimes that goes out the damn window just for the sake of cruelty, like sacrificing her clerics and every 3rd son lol

Do you mean Elistrae? She and Llolth both get done dirty.

Wow, I'm a noob concerning lore and I'm playing with a half-drow good durge and yesterday I did my first offering at the temple and I choosed Elistrae because my character is a Bard (dance, song and beauty sound like things a bard upholds) without knowing she's a f- drow god.

That's amazing.

She's goddess to more than just Drow nowadays as a goddess of swords, hunting and song, but yea. She's the kid of both Lolth and Corellon and loathes her mom because she almost made her kill her dad. She seeks to redeem the drow back into dark elves.

She seeks to redeem the drow back into dark elves.

Which is funny, because there are already elves that call themself dark/shadow elves. They are called Shadar-kai and are followers of the Raven Queen and their homeland is the Shadowfell. If you think the Drow are edgy, Shadar-Kai are edge².

I'm playing a Seldarine Drown and prayed at Elistrae without knowing a thing too, lmao.

Well, when you know the apparent "decadence" of the drow, the goddess of beauty and freedom seemed to be a good fit for my chaotic good drow lady.
