Why did Aurashne survive?
has anyonenoted in the novel evermeet island of the elves correlon had aurashnee totally in his own power.
he actualy goes out of his way NOT to kill her.
is it for some Grand "divine plan" we will never truly understand
or did he just not have the heart to murder his one time consort.

I'm guessing the latter; he pretty much only [i:2e9dbc05]just[/i:2e9dbc05] found out that she betrayed him so I'd imagine that his feelings for her would still be alive.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. He let Vaerhaun live, too, even though he sided with his mother. He was giving them both a chance to mend their ways, I think. Too bad they never took it.
By the Dark Maiden''s grace do we meet. May she guide and protect us.

logic, to me anyway, could you have your kid or 'wife' killed if you loved them and had hoped for them?
thats just first thoughts anyway.

Well, think about it.
Cast her from Arvandor in the Abbys to suffer the etternity with madness is quite a punishment.
Everyone knows Lolth only as a twisted arachnid, but in fact she is a elven godess. None knows what happened to her became insane, maybe the abbys itself changed her. It destroyed her being and shaped like evil and chaos. She was a pomperous and vain godess, known as the Weaver of destiny, but since her transformation she can't even produce a regular web (she commands her minions to weave it for her).
Destroy her and smash everything she was proud of about herself, making her a pariah, is a bigger punishment than simply killing her.

Yeah, supremacist pride of elven races really turns away a lot of affection. But let's not compare negative effects of mortals who go too far to instill some petty war for territory. Unlike their progeny, Corelon and whole Seldarine are deities, perfect beings who have the foremost positive elven qualities.

But not ONLY good ones. Everything has its' darker side, and Corellon is more than capable of showing a deeply violent streak if he deems it necessary.
It may be just me but I tend to think of the gods as really powerful versions of whoever falls within their purview, rather than exemplars of them. More than capable of being short-sighted or dickish if you catch them at a bad time. The main difference I see is that they are bound to act in a certain way when events pertain to their folio, so you can rely on them to act predictably in that respect.
It occurs to me that many elves act a bit like the githyanki: you only ever see them when they decide you've done something blasphemous and really need to die now kthx.
It's why I like working with the evil drow. No nonsense with them, no pretending that spilling your blood all over the underdark isn't on the agenda. You're expected to know how to watch your back if you have the stones to make deals with them and it's your own fault for being a wimp if you fail to do so.
