Quote | Reply | | Gods: The Drow Pantheon posted on: 2/28/2003 12:50:31 PM The Drow pantheon is quite infamous, more so even than the shadow elven pantheon, but that's mostly due to the fact few people even know of the shadow elven pantheon. In fact, very little is known on the surface of the drow pantheon. People know of Lolth and Eilistraee, but that's pretty much it. The drow have quite a slew of other deities, though. Lolth Divine Rank: 15 (Intermediate Deity) Portfolio: Drow, spiders, evil, darkness Domains: Chaos, Drow, Evil, Darkness, Destruction, Spider, Trickery Alignment: CE Favored Weapon: Whip Home Plane: Abyss Cruel and capricious, Lolth embodies the absolute evil of the drow. She is malicious in her dealings with others and coldly vicious in a fight, coveting the power of deities worshipped by the surface races. Eilistraee Divine Rank: 7 (Lesser Deity) Portfolio: Song, beauty, dance, swordwork, hunting, moonlight Domains: Chaos, Charm, Drow, Elf, Good, Moon, Portal Alignment: CG Favored Weapon: Bastard sword Home Plane: Arborea The patron of good-aligned drow and those of that race who wish to live in the Realms Above in peace, Eilistraee is a melancholy, moody deity. She is greatly angered by the evil of most drow, but glad that some have worked their way free of the Spider Queen's web. Eilistraee is the only drow deity that may be worshipped on the surface without fear of punishment. Ghaunadaur Divine Rank: 6 (Lesser Deity) Portfolio: Oozes, outcasts, ropers, rebels Domains: Cavern, Chaos, Drow, Evil, Hatred, Slime Alignment: CE Favored Weapon: Warhammer Home Plane: Abyss Ghaunadaur is unpredictable by human standards. It may aid worshippers who merely pay lip service to its rituals, but may also devour or maim them without warning. This has kept Ghaunadaur's personal power fairly limited. Ghaunadaur is always at odds with Juiblex, the Demon Lord of slimes. Kiaransali Divine Rank: 5 (Demigod) Portfolio: Undead, vengeance Domains: Chaos, Drow, Evil, Retribution, Undeath Alignment: CE Favored Weapon: Dagger Home Plane: Abyss Kiaransalee is cruel, twisted, and consumed by thoughts of vengeance. The Lady of Death descended into madness long ago, but she retains a twisted cunning and clear recollection fo every slight done to her, real or imagined. Lately, she has fallen into disfavor with Lolth, and was forced to change the last rune of her name (long story; her name used to be Kiaransalee). Selvetarm Divine Rank: 4 (Demigod) Portfolio: Drow, barbarians, fighters Domains: Chaos, Drow, Evil, Spider, War Alignment: CE Favored Weapon: Heavy mace Home Plane: Abyss Cruel and malicious by nature, Selvetarm cares only for combat and destruction. He is the champion of Lolth, and serves her as the male fighters' guild serves the Matriarch of a city. Vhaeraun Divine Rank: 8 (Lesser Deity) Portfolio: Thievery, drow males, evil activity on the surface Domains: Chaos, Drow, Evil, Travel, Trickery Alignment: CE Favored Weapon: Short sword Home Plane: Abyss Vhaeraun is vain, proud, and sometimes haughty. He bears grudges of legendary length and never forgets slights or deceptions. He encourages his clergy to do the same. |
