How to handle the end of Lady Penitant
Have not read the Lady Penatent book series yet, but I have read on the Forgotten Realms Wiki that Eilistraee is killed in the last book by the very Drow Jalil she is trying to save. This looks to leave Lolth as the only Drow higher power. What are that play good Drow to do? In Neverwinter Night -2 / MotB/ SoZ I play Nedylene Rahn a priestess of Eilistraee and a Divine Champion of Eilistraee. In my RP with her there I have let it slip that Corellon wed and bed her mother also called Nedylene.
I doubt that the developers of the Forgotten Realms would allow me to write a story that has Corellon elevating Nedylene to be the new beacon of hope for all Ilythiiri that follow the path of Light and Goodness. Do we do what we must to continue our stories here and ignore the incident of 1379 DR spelled out in the last book of Lady Penatent. I am just wondering is all.

Drow on the Surface face as many dangers as those in the Underdark. Just because the Rivvil is friendly does not mean he wishes to help you, he may just want to get you off guard before knifing you.

I read the 3 books, it made me angry when i read that Eilistraee got killed =( So now my friends bug me when I want to play a cleric to worship her...
So all I have to do is to choose Corellon, since it made me understand that he kinda "abosrbed" Eilistraee's role.
But yeah, that didnt stop me to create Eilistraee for the 4th edition...
PS: I really like Cavatina

The short fiction story I wrote titled 1379 in the Stories part of Roleplay is the beginning of my take on the news. In the RP I have taken up on The Forgotten Realm NWN-2/ MotB/ SoZ server Nedylene Rahn formerly Nedylene Vrinn the Matron of the rarest of things a noble housed dedicated to the Lady of the Dance is also a daughter of Corellon. She doesn't talk about it much though. This scene I wrote in 1379 depicts Corellon's acknowledgement of her as his mortal daughter and offering her Eilistraee's portfolio and domains with the addition of healing. (Nedylene is a Fighter-8/ Cleric-10/ Divine Champion-3 with the cleric domains of good and healing.) [I would like to write this story as an answer to the death of Eilistraee in Lady Penitent.] Nedylene is given the offer to take over Eilistraee's role, but given the option to remain a mortal as well. I have not figured out what her choice will be. She is restored to the original form of the Dark Elves too. Corellon's forgiveness of the ones that did not bind with the demons begins with her and spreads to the others from where she is. That much I will think through.

PS: I really like Cavatina [/quote:84gr9l13]Yeah. They also made some of the priestesses seem drunk with power, and to be blunt, a little slutty.
Edit: And Cavatina is my favorite priestess, too.

Good it and other changes to the FR chronology and storyline just seem to make the story strange to me anymore. Look at the DnD 4 books on the Forgotten Realms and you will see what I mean.

One thing I am looking into is converting my Forgotten Realms campaign frome DnD to GURPS by Steve Jackson Games. I have most of the books needed to run a GURPS Fourth Edition campaign revolving around the history and cultures of the Forgotten Realms for my PnP roleplay, but unless I stick with NWN-2/ MotB/ SoZ on the Forgotten Realm server I may have to adjust my RP to reflect the changes if the other servers I run on like Sundren and Moonlight and Shadows go with the current history/ timeline of the books and the PnP DnD game products.
I may even look into beginning my own server someday once I have the funds or funding to get the server and connection to run a Persistant World on Obsidian and GameSpy.

Well I am a member of the Kansas Authors' Club. I am beginning to wonder if the Lady Penitant triology was a colaboration. Maybe her colaborator ended the last book and the triology that way thinking it was more dramatic. All I know is that it ruined my story I was writing and hoping to submit when they would resume accepting submissions for the Forgotten Realms books.
