<t>Personally, I've read through the 4th ed books and I rather enjoy the new rules. It's [i:jcdjtgu6]different[/i:jcdjtgu6], and I'm sorta waiting for the Swordmage class before I really try to translate my FR character, and I really do want to see where this new Realms goes. Besides, with all the l...

Thank you, Isis, that was exactly what I was trying to say.
As for the fact that the same things were said when Vhaeraun was killed, our questions were answered later, I think, with that little glimpse of Vhaeraun's shredded remains floating in the astral

<t>And actually, to clear up the whole "Drow are core" thing, they actually aren't...I have the PHB right here in front of me, and they're nowhere inside, heh.<br/> <br/> Still, from what I saw in the book, Eilistraee likely could come back, if they wanted it. The Crescent Blade is supposed to oblit...

<r>I, actually, will save my judgement of the new FR setting for when the books come out. But...rest assured...my first adventure will be integrating Eilistraee back into the Realms. *has an awesome idea, but will save it for when he writes the story version*.<br/> <br/> On another note...I was on m...

<r>well, from the reports of a friend that just finished the book, while she does indeed die, it seems that there are clues to a possible return in the future. It's left open enough that she could, and I think likely will, be back in some form. Besides, would Corellon have been so casual when he ste...

<t>It is silly, to be sure, when put in that manner. Another post I saw said it a lot better. Essentially, when a drow was to seek redemption, it was a leap yes but not that huge of a leap...they transitioned from Lolth to Eilistraee, and in all honestly Eilistraee's clergy held on to quite a few as...

wow...I guess that tears it then. All our speculation can't really argue with Richard Baker giving us the truth of the matter. Damnit...

<t>okay, quoting -directly- from the epilogue, so major spoilers here.<br/> <br/> [i:2yeznpba]Eilistraee leaned forward, feigning a great sigh. She kept her eyes downcast, so Lolth wouldn't see a glint of gold in their depths.She lifted her Mother piece and squeezed hard, destroying it. The cut on h...

well, I have yet to read the book, but from how the epilogue was described to me it seems she does indeed survive. But...we shall see, eh? Hope for the best.

<t>the taking of the Mother piece was just symbolic of Lloth's "victory"...really didn't have anything to do with any domains or powers. The Mother, or Matron piece, is just the Sava game's version of a King piece in chess. So, yes, the taking of the Mother piece likely was symbolic of Qilue's death...

<r>okay, I talked to a friend that -has- the book, and from what they tell me (and I'm still gonna read the book), in the Epilogue, Eilistraee -doesn't- necessarily die. She allows Lloth to take her Mother piece and feigns death, and then Lloth moves to take another piece that is actually Eilistraee...

<t>well, admittedly I haven't read the book, but...I think, if the drow that followed Eilistraee were transformed into dark elves, and the rest remained Drow, what they were saying was that they could not be "redeemed"...as in, they stay drow. I don't think it was necessarily saying they're all evil...

<t>well, I haven't read the book of course, but...it seemed to me, from the discussion, that it wasn't necessarily saying that all are purely evil. I think what they were saying was that this idea of "Redemption", of becoming what they once were and shaking off the curse, is no longer a reality. Sur...

<t>that is just...fucked...up...<br/> <br/> O_o<br/> <br/> I'm not sure what to think now. I love FR...but...this...doesn't seem to really be FR anymore, does it? They've just gone too far now...<br/> <br/> and if the outcry here is any indication of what the outcry will be elsewhere...yeah, I can i...

<t>well, if you wanna get really, really technical, drow are dark elves in name only, since after the curse placed on them and generations of selective breeding they've become something completely different. Honestly, though? I wouldn't be adverse to a return of the true dark elves...some way of cir...
